Tower Apartments

I liked living here at the start but I have run into too many problems after 2.5 years. Right now the biggest problem is that the elevators are constantly down going down (every other day at this point) forcing people to walk down 8-18 stories to get in or out of the building. There is only one “working” elevator because the other is being updated. The same thing happened with the parking garage during updates. There were constant problems accessing parking, especially after work or on weekends.... They cannot handle upgrading the building which they are constantly choosing to do. Do not live here. Lee mas

I lived here for almost two years. The apartment is nice for what you are paying for and you get a great view of Milwaukee no matter which side you face. It is a very quiet apartment which is nice for a lot of graduate students that lived there. The building is older and the windows are not great, so a significant amount of cold air comes in during the winters which can increase your electric bill a lot. Maintenance is generally prompt. My biggest complaint, as are many people that live there,... is that people smoke marijuana almost daily. I used to complain but it wasn't worth my time anymore. I know other people were experiencing this because we often get emails about it. The only thing the management does is send an email reminding every one it is illegal. It happened all hours of the day -- 7am, noon, 10pm, etc. and occurred weekly if not daily. Other than that, it was a decent place to live. Lee mas

I really like living here, but the windows leak whenever it rains hard and the building staff only offers extra towels as a solution. The rent is good for downtown Milwaukee but the puddles that accumulate during a mild rainstorm are pretty annoying.

The location is great, literally right on Marquette University's Campus and a short walk from Miwaukee's Downtown and just a short drive away from Milwaukee's main attractions and entertainment districts (you can literally walk to the Bucks stadium/ Old World Third Street).

Apartments are well kept and are very spacious with 24/7 very friendly guards in the lobby. The pool and Gym are great amenities to have and maintenance is easy to reach and fast to respond.

Would highly recommend this... property.

My fiancée and I have lived here for 3 years in a 1-bed/1-bath and moving out has been a surprisingly difficult decision. Tower has easily been the best apartment building either of us have lived in. The ONLY reason we are moving out is we need a second bedroom for a home-office and Tower doesn't have 2-bed apartments.

The view alone is worth checking this place out. Our apartment faced south toward the Church of Gesu but we still had a view of the downtown skyline and the lake (also LOTS of... sunlight). Going up to the rooftop pool for 4th of July fireworks is incredible as you can see whole Milwaukee skyline and every firework show going on in town, at the Summerfest grounds, and at Miller Park!

Even without the view, this apartment complex is one of the best high-rise deals you are going to find in downtown Milwaukee. On-site underground parking, a guard at the front desk 24/7, a laundry room with 8 washers and 8 dryers (card-operated rather than coin), a well-stocked fitness room, lockers for dry-cleaning pick-up/drop-off, and did I mention that rooftop pool? Maintenance and the staff are always friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond.

While we were searching for a 2-bed over the past few months, we visited at least 8 different downtown apartment buildings and noticed that the only ones that came close to matching Tower’s quality and convenience cost hundreds more a month for just a 1-bed! It really made us appreciate how lucky we were with Tower. Lee mas
