Ovation 309

Nice apartment building, great location

Being within walking distance of the law school and the capitol is the highlight. The addition of two common area spaces to move your studying to, if you need a change in scenery, is a game changer. The tenants are all very respectful, and it's a combination of college aged and older individuals.

Its been awesome

Ovation is a great option. Its expensive but worth it. Right off state street which has a lot of pubs, nightlife and restaurants, it was a great fit for the lifestyle I was seeking at the time. You can get parking for additional 200 bucks but a day's parking only costs 10 bucks for residents. There is a gym, sauna, grill, ping pong table and an awesome coffee machine! The unobstructed city, lake and capitol views from the top (13th floor) are breathtaking! In case you opt for a lease of less than 12 months in your second year, you might end up paying an additional 250 bucks per month. The occupancy here is over 99% all the time and it is not easy to get an apartment. The crowd is mixed with older folks, professionals, graduate students and a few undergrads.

This is a great community with pleasant staff and resident social scene.

Ovation is an excellent apartment property with extremely high-quality management. The property is well located, the amenities are excellent, and the management is very attentive. I couldn't recommend this property more!

Ovation is great, it's very nice and seems to be one of the quieter buildings. Floor to ceiling windows, newer appliances, good management, great location near the capitol, safe, walkable to restaurants, bars and class. And the roof has the best views in Madison!

I love living at Ovation 309. As an MBA, I am a short walk to Grainger, have easy access to State Street (without living in the noise of State St.), and a large portion of my classmates live next to me. The staff is responsive, courteous, and all around great people. I love the added layer of security of a concierge desk who will call to ask if it is ok to let guests up the elevator. Being a bit further away from campus, and being one of the more expensive options, the building is mostly graduate students, young professionals, and middle aged folks, so the noisy undergraduate lifestyle is mostly absent when needing to study at night. If it fits the budget, I highly recommend Ovation to MBA students.

Ovation is truly one of the nicest apartment buildings in Madison. The location is perfect, the amenities are top notch, and management is extremely accommodating. If you're willing to pay the higher rents found at Ovation, it is a really wonderful living experience.

Great location, storage space is minimal.
