Domain

Wow i miss this place so much. I lived here during this past summer while I was waiting to get my work location after graduating and it was literally the best place EVER. Not only was the place new and beautiful, the location was perfect for walking to everything– great for students with a little extra money to spend as well. I can’t say it enough, the staff in the office are my absolute favorite people and I miss coming in weekly to pick up packages or just ask for help or advice, both of which they were always willing to provide. I was even able to stay in one of their corporate apartments when visiting madison for the weekend and I didn’t want to ever leave. I would recommend to anyone who will listen how awesome this place is!!!

I absolutely love living at Domain! I’ve lived in 4 different apartments so far in Madison, and The Domain beats them all in property, staff, and amenities.
The building is brand new, so we were the first tenants in the apartment we moved into this summer. Another wing of the building opened in summer 2014 and the complex is quite large overall. The features in the units are quite nice and what I would expect of a modern apartment (plenty of cupboard space, granite countertops, and modern floors/​doors). The price is a bit higher than other apartments of comparable size, but well worth it considering the features and amenities in the building.
The management is the most enjoyable part of living at Domain. They make living here fun by hosting events and are willing to help with any problem imaginable. When we moved in, our washer didn’t work, so they made sure we were able to do our laundry in an empty unit. To report any issues (appliances or otherwise), they use an electronic system and have always called us back within 24 hours.
Finally, the amenities are also a great reason to live at Domain. From the workout facility (with 6+ treadmills!) to the pool and grilling area, each one adds to the already nice complex. There’s a rooftop indoor/​outdoor lounge that residents can rent out for a small fee.
Overall, Domain is a great place to live and we have really enjoyed living there the past few months. I would recommend to anyone looking for a modern, amenity-​filled complex.

Domain is an incredible place to live. The apartments themselves are huge, beautiful, and very reasonably priced. The amenities are phenomenal. It is so nice to have a gym right downstairs, and on Wednesday mornings, they offer yoga classes. Dogs are very welcome, and they even have a jar or dog treats outside the elevator! Beyond the building itself, the management is the absolute best I have ever dealt with (after 7 years and 7 different apartments in Madison). They go above and beyond to assist and accommodate. They even plan social events to meet and hang out with your neighbors – which is really unique to Domain. I will live here until I move out of Madison!

You have to give them credit for trying hard. It’s a beautiful space, great location, and a kind management staff. Unfortunately, living at one of the newest and more expensive properties you would expect more than to face constant issues such as…
–Regularly broken elevators and garage doors
–Unsealed granite counter-​tops
–Neighbors’ friends/​family using your $ 150/​mo. parking for hours on-​end
–Drunk students wandering lost in building
Understandably, there are always growing pains in a new building, but now that the construction on phase two is complete the issues have only persisted. We considered resigning, but are tired of regularly hearing from the manager that these are «spur of the moment issues.»
Spur of the moment happens anywhere you go, but at this price you’d expect a bit more communication and accountability. The point being — look around a bit more before sticking with Domain.
