About The Surf

The Surf Apartments are located lakeside right on Lake Mendota and offer the best of downtown Madison living! Plus our apartments are furnished and all utilities are included. Our location grants us access to incredible views of the lake, Picnic Point, and even the Capital, and our outside lawn, deck, and dock back right up to the lake and are great areas to enjoy with friends and family. We are just a 5-minute walk from campus and Memorial Union Terrace, and just a few minutes walk from State Street which leads right up to the Capitol Building, so our residents are in walking distance from the best that Madison has to offer. But it's not all about location. Our communities offer free WiFI, air conditioning, lake views, free cable and heating, as well as modern features like stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a tub. With on-site management and maintenance, you won't regret making The Surf Apartments your home!
