Find a Madison Apartment

Madison is a progressive, fast-growing city and is home to the University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State Capitol. It is located on an isthmus and surrounded by four lakes, the largest being Lake Monona and Lake Mendota.

Well known for its active lifestyle, Madison has an extensive network of trails, parks, and natural areas; it is also an ideal place for bikers and pedestrians. The downtown Madison area has a wide selection of restaurants, bars, museums, music venues, and local businesses.

When to Search

A city bustling with new students and young professionals scrambling to find a place, so housing can get really competitive. If you want the best selection, begin your apartment search in November. Most leases are signed in February to give landlords plenty of breathing room for the strict August 1st and 15th move in date. Madison apartments are available off-season, but expect to increase your budget or lower your expectations. Searching for an apartment can be tough. That's why we scour the web to get all best listings around town. And our team of local experts verify the quality and accuracy of those listings to make sure that you have the best prices, images and information available. So unlike searching for an apartment on Craigslist, you can be sure that Rentable’s apartment listings are safe, trustworthy and accurate.

Neighborhoods

You're likely to live, play, and shop in your neighborhood. The UW Madison campus and student housing occupies a fourth of the city, while the business professional downtown areas and hipster east-side comprise almost all the rest. Here's some of the most popular neighborhoods to help you get sorted.
