I've lived in the Lyric Apartments for close to a year, and it has been my favorite apartment rental to-date. The facilities are clean, the staff is very kind and friendly, and I value the amenities -- coffee/espresso machine in lobby, heated garage, dog washing station, top-floor gym with expansive Lake Mendota views, top-floor lounge room with access to wrap-around deck featuring stunning views of both Lake Mendota and Lake Monona. The staff also puts a lot of effort into holiday decor and celebrations - trick or treating, Christmas lights, etc. - which makes apartment-life feel more homey. Best of all, the tenants are very friendly - lots of hellos and greetings on the elevator. Rare to find such an enjoyable renting experience.

My boyfriend and I lived here for 4 years (and were one of the Lyric's first tenants), and I'm still so sad that we've left! If not for the fact that we've moved out of the state, I'm sure I would still be here for another year. This was seriously one of the best apartments I've ever lived in. Pros: - Wonderful staff (shout out to Kaelyn!) - you see them everywhere all the time, beautifying the place and maintaining it with care; they knew my dog by name within the first week of me bringing him home and always made an effort to give him loving rubs - Maintenance is fast and VERY responsive - You know those apartments that try to charge you for every little thing when you move out? Yeah, this place doesn't do that. Any deductions from the deposit are FAIR (amazing, right?!) - Elevators are really fast (but occasionally break down / have peak travel times -- especially during COVID where safety regulations were up and they were restricted to single family use at a time) - Neighbors are great and friendly - They love dogs here! So convenient that there's the vet downstairs too (though they're a little pricey) - Easy access to bus routes, but I want to say that the parking garage fee is 100% worth it - The 11th floor is a HUGE draw - beautiful work area, great views ... geez, I miss it Cons: - Parking garage gate breaks down from time to time, and right before I left, there was a safety curfew for when guests could take tickets to enter (may not be in place now) - The area gets loud when concerts play at Breese Stevens - but that also makes it easy to watch what happens from the balcony or 11th floor! - The rent rate increased at like 5% each year for me, so by the 4th year, I was looking at a significant hike in price - understandable, though, and happens everywhere

I will start by thanking the whole crew specifically Kaelyn Gabathuler who has helped us a lot. My wife and I would like you to know that we cannot thank you enough for what you have done for us! We will never forget it! Giving, Caring, Sharing, Smiling are the freest things on earth and are at the same time the most expensive ones which no amount of money can buy. So, Kaelyn was all of those to us. Again thank you for everything Kaelyn and to the whole team! You're the best!

My husband and I have lived at The Lyric for almost two years. It's been an exceptional experience - the public areas and amenities are cleaned/maintained regularly and kept secure. The apartment interior finishes are really great quality. The property management on-site is friendly and helpful and do a wonderful job of decorating and celebrating holidays. The views of the 11th floor are truly some of the best views of the city. Overall wonderful experience!
