Tenney-Lapham — 8.6/10 Rating (based on 14 neighborhood reviews)
Relatively quiet neighborhood with plenty of local events and places to walk. Relatively close to downtown so ~10 minutes bus ride or ~35 minute walk to get to tons of different restaurants or bars. Very pet friendly, great area for dogs.

This is a very good neighborhood with a pretty even mix of homeowners vs. renters. It’s a really nice community with a neighborhood pantry where you can drop off and pick up food as you like. It’s also very close to multiple lakes, parks, and bike baths, and it’s a short bus or bike ride to campus!

I love the neighborhood! A good mix of families, students, and young professionals. We are right by the lake, have great parks nearby and are next door to the soccer field!

Building is less than a ten minute walk to James Madison Park. Building has the convenience of being on a main road, but the neighborhood itself is quiet and has mostly young couples/families living there.

The neighborhood is super safe, pet friendly, and mostly young professionals and graduate students. It is great walking the dog in the afternoon ad you'll see other families out and you're close to public parks and the capital!

Neighborhood is still developing on certain blocks, but there are a bunch of great restaurants and bars in the area. I have never felt unsafe walking home alone late at night.

The overall neighborhood is nice. Cute shops and restaurants. I personally don't like living right next to a main street.

The neighbor provides a good mix of local Madison flavor, while remaining fairly close to Capital Square and campus. There are many restaurants and bars within walking distance, a good grocery store, access to multiple bus lines and bike paths, and you are a quick walk to the shops on Willy and/or Johnson street.

I honestly haven't interacted a lot with people in the neighborhood do to Covid-19 restrictions and my graduate school schedule. That said, those I have spoken and/or interacted with have been great.
