  • Expensive for what it is

    March 28, 2023
    Overall low quality apartment with low-quality appliances. Rent does not include utilities or internet. Windows are poorly insulated and spent about over $100 per month in electricity during the winter. The heating system is just a convection heater with no numbers to set the temperature to. Goldleaf replaced the windows on some apartments not all. They are also raising rent by close to $250 this year for a studio. They were increasing rent by an average of $50 per year before this year.

  • Good apartment, nothing special though

    April 20, 2021
    I lived in a studio apartment here for 1 year and was happy with it. I moved out only because I wanted to move in with roommates for a cheaper price, but I stayed with Goldleaf as a company. The apartment was clean, pest free, and a comfortable space for 1 person. I had a renovated unit so the kitchen had new appliances, cabinets, and possibly newer carpet. Goldleaf has a great management team and is very responsive to and maintenance requests. Overall, I'd recommend it, but it's nothing special ...
    for the pretty expensive price point.

    Review from Apartments.com

  • University Bay

    August 2, 2015
    I have been living in a studio in University Bay (UB), owned by Goldleaf Development management, from the beginning of my graduate career at UW-Madison. I chose to live in UB because of its convenient location to the hospital and other buildings where I have classes. The rent was decent when I signed my lease in 2010, however, the rent has gone up $10 to $20 each year making it expensive for the size of the space. The management claims to increase rent each year in order to stay competitive but ...
    they can definitely afford not to do so given the large turnover with students. The building and the studio are fairly old. However, the management has begun renovating apartments (mine included) and keeps the building clean. The building does not have an elevator, which makes moving in and out very difficult. The studio is pretty small but comfortable. For example, I was able to fit a full sized bed, a chair with an ottoman, a TV stand, a small table with two stools, a computer desk and chair, and two small side tables. The kitchen and the bathroom are small. The closet is very spacious. You have to pay for electricity and the management has recently begun charging a water charge (an additional $8 to your monthly rent). Each studio has a window air conditioner which is wonderful but it is very difficult to control both the heat and the air because there is no thermometer and both the air and the heat run continuously. Parking is available both outside the building in a surface lot as well as an inside garage for an extremely expensive rate. Parking is paid in 3 installments (August, November, and February) which is nice but it ends up feeling very expensive (about $480 per installment for the garage parking). The area is quiet and I have not had any issues with noise inside the building. Overall, UB has been a fairly comfortable place to reside during my education. It is expensive but very comparable to other apartment complexes. The staff is fairly friendly and maintenance calls are answer in a timely manner.
