Madison Wisconsin apartment life: 1970s vs. 2020s


Constructed in the early 1970s, Casa Blanca is located at 2302 University Avenue.   The 3-story complex has 152 units -- efficiencies, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom.  The efficiency units are 300-350 square feet in size.  Tiny.  But then that's why they're called efficiencies.

In the distance, you see Casa Blanca's new neighbor, The Heights, at 2208 University Avenue, a 6-story, mixed-used building that will have 750 square feet of commercial space and 79 apartments.


Nowadays vertical is the name of the game in Madison apartment construction.



They can be squeezed into narrow, rectangular lots.
