Whitcomb Square Apartments sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in Madison's Orchard Ridge neighborhood with 66 apartments, all of them two-bedroom units between 1,080 and 1,320 square feet, spread across four colonial-style buildings, where there's mature landscaping and patios or balconies that look over the grounds, and it's smoke-free and doesn't allow pets. Residents live independently but get the benefit of a professional owner management team and helpful on-site staff, including a maintenance worker and 24-hour maintenance services, so things like snow removal, mowing, and repairs get handled quickly and you don't have to worry. The apartments come with air conditioning, hot water baseboard heat, and utilities like heat, water, gas, trash and recycling, sewer, and parking are included in the rent, with ACH rental payment programs available for convenience, while kitchens offer appliances like refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and, in some units, a washer and dryer, and there's free shared laundry for everyone else in a bright, cheerful laundry room. Residents have plenty of room with large floor plans, oversized walk-in closets, and private storage lockers, and you'll find elevators, security-locked buildings, easy entry foyers, and covered underground garages in all buildings, plus intercom access, so it's both easy and safe to get around, and friendly staff help keep everything clean and running smoothly.
The community is aimed at active adults aged 55 or better who want to maintain independence with extra support and safety features like senior-friendly bathrooms, but there's no meal plan, which means you take care of your cooking, and the apartment complex doesn't provide personal care unless you arrange outside help. Residents can enjoy social, educational, and entertainment activities, gathering in common areas to meet neighbors and make friends, and often take walks or bike rides on the nearby Southwest Commuter Path, with golfers enjoying the close-by Odana Hills Golf Course, or folks heading to Orchard Ridge Park and shopping or restaurants such as Home Depot, Copper Top, Vitense Golf, or Gino's, all a short distance away. Apartments at Whitcomb Square are always kept tidy, safe, and well-lit, thanks to the team who works onsite, which is part of what makes the community quiet and welcoming, and the non-smoking, no-pet policy contributes to this calm atmosphere.
For those who need more help, Oakwood Village-which operates Whitcomb Square-also offers a range of care and services, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Home Care, Adult Day Services, Skilled Nursing, Home Health Care, and Hospice Care at their other properties, but here at Whitcomb Square the focus stays on letting seniors keep their independence in comfort and safety. The apartments in Whitcomb Square, known for being easy to access and roomy, give people a sense of home, with features like oversized storage, big closets, large rooms for entertaining, and covered balconies to enjoy the outdoors, and though there's a waiting list because all the apartments are 100% leased, people choose this place if they want space, convenience, friendly neighbors, and help when needed, while keeping the independent lifestyle that's important to them.
