    Spacious apartment with great amenities

    I'm pleased with my apartment - nice-sized rooms, great views and a patio, plus heated parking; the price even includes hot water and municipal services. It's in a safe, suburban area with restaurants nearby and easy mailbox access. It's a bit far from town and they currently have no one-bedroom units, but I would recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews for Prairie Oaks Senior Housing II is positive. Reviewers repeatedly note they are pleased with the community and say they would recommend it. The comments emphasize a comfortable, well‑maintained suburban setting with practical conveniences and a generally satisfactory living experience.

    Facilities and amenities receive favorable mentions. Multiple reviewers highlight a patio, heated parking, easy mailbox access, and good views from the property. Apartment size is described positively with "nice sized rooms." Costing details are also cited as a benefit: the price reportedly includes hot water and municipal services, which reviewers listed as a convenience and a value element. These details combine to portray a community that offers several useful on‑site amenities and sensible included utilities, contributing to resident satisfaction.

    Location is a prominent theme with both positive and negative notes. The community is described as being in a safe, suburban area and within proximity to restaurants, which reviewers see as attractive. At the same time, there is a recurring comment that the property is "far away" — the reviews do not specify from what (e.g., downtown, family, medical centers), but this implies that some prospective residents or visitors may find travel or commuting to be a drawback. This suggests a trade‑off: a quieter, suburban neighborhood with nearby dining options versus potential distance from other desired destinations.

    Availability and unit mix are notable concerns. Reviewers specifically mention that no one‑bedroom apartments are available, and there is mention of being "far away" and limited availability, indicating that prospective residents seeking a one‑bedroom unit may face restrictions. The absence of one‑bedroom options may limit appeal for single occupants or those needing smaller floor plans.

    The reviews provide limited direct information about care quality, staff, dining, activities, or management performance. No specific comments were made about caregiving, staffing responsiveness, dining programs, or organized activities. The absence of detail in these areas means a reviewer cannot draw firm conclusions from the supplied summaries. However, the overall positive tone and statements of recommendation imply a level of satisfaction with daily living and operations, even if respondents did not explicitly describe staff or programming.

    In summary, Prairie Oaks Senior Housing II appears to be a well‑liked suburban community with several tangible amenities (patio, heated parking, included hot water and municipal services, mailbox convenience, good views, and roomy apartments) and a generally positive resident endorsement. The primary caveats are its relative distance from unspecified points of interest and the reported lack of one‑bedroom availability. Prospective residents should verify unit availability and consider transportation needs, and should request more detailed information or a tour to evaluate staff, care services, dining, and activity offerings that are not described in these reviews.

    About Prairie Oaks Senior Housing II

    Prairie Oaks Senior Housing II sits right in the Prairie Oaks Neighborhood of Verona, WI, and plenty of people say it's an excellent place, with a 4.5-star rating based on reviews. This community has 36 one- and two-bedroom apartments for folks 55 and older, and they stick to certain income limits because they use the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program, so most residents pay rent that's about 30% of their income, and everyone has to meet the guidelines to move in. Apartments have their own washers and dryers, dishwashers, patios or balconies, walk-in closets, and folks get extra storage, plus there are accessible units for anyone who needs them. This place is totally smoke-free indoors, and they're serious about the rule, and pets like cats and dogs can live here too, with a $300 deposit but no monthly pet rent.

    People get parking, elevators, on-site laundry for those who need it, and there's a business center to handle any paperwork or connect online. There's always someone to help if anything breaks, because 24-hour emergency maintenance is part of the deal, and folks can also get help from nurses, doctors, homecare staff, podiatrists, dentists, and even hospice if that's needed. Residents who want to stay active can join social, physical, or creative activities, and transportation is free for getting around town or to appointments, which can be a big help for people who don't want to drive anymore. Therapists offer physical, speech, and occupational therapy right on site. Dining focuses on good, nutritious meals with an eye for quality.

    Anyone interested has to bring paperwork-background, financial, references-since the application steps are pretty strict, sometimes making a visit necessary to talk things over with staff. People often mention the friendly and helpful staff, and how the atmosphere stays welcoming. Folks who live here say they appreciate both the independence and the extra support if needed, and the community has won a couple of awards for their service and care, including the Best of Senior Living All Star distinction. Prairie Oaks Senior Housing II aims to help older adults find an affordable, safe, and comfortable place to live, especially for those who qualify for low-income housing.
