3220 Madison Ave

So far so good in a place that is miles better than last year. Main living area floors and kitchen counters and cabinets appear to be close to new. Deck could stand to be painted and there is no off street parking other than a tiny lot in the back that is very hard to get in and out of. Location is good, pretty quiet, and close to the bus line between main and east campus. All in all a good value even if the place isn't a luxury apartment.

Walls were kind of thin so when neighbors were watching tv or having people over it was slightly annoying. Also i personally dont like the electric stoves but thats probably w problem with me and not them.

I lived at 3220 Madison Avenue for one year from 2022-2023. It is a relatively updated unit in a relatively old building. The landlord/leasing company have always been very prompt with maintenance requests and issues, but there have been a few. In particular, the heating and hot water (both controlled through the water heater in the basement) have gone out more than half a dozen times in the 12 month period I lived here, and the laundry machines are a bit disheveled (laundry is free, though, so that's something). The walls are thin, so the noise level is dependent on your neighbors. Despite the prime location, it was very quiet from the outside in. If you're a CU student, it's a short walk to the nearest Stampede bus stop. The biggest let-down about this place is the parking. There is a space behind the unit, but it is very small, and not usable for more than three cars at a time, and those cars have to be sedans or smaller. Street parking is free, but it's a toss up on weekdays 8am to 7 pm whether you'll get a spot. Depending on the unit, it's also relatively dark. I would tour the exact unit you'll be in to make sure. There's no A/C, which is borderline unbearable on hot days in the summer, so I would recommend getting a portable unit.
