Chic, revitalized rentals in Madison’s former industrial hub

Historic Trendy Walkable Lake Convenient

Also known as the Yards District, Tobacco Warehouse is a small historic neighborhood along the shores of Lake Monona. Once an industrial hub, this urban locale features sleek, modern apartments in repurposed buildings including an old tobacco mill. There are more traditional rentals available in the area as well. Tobacco Warehouse is predominantly residential and houses several office buildings, two small bars, and an art gallery. The neighborhood’s biggest advantage is its proximity to hotspots in the city. You’ll find residents boating on the lake, cheering on the Wisconsin Badgers at Kohl Center nearby, or exploring the wide variety of dining and entertainment options found in Downtown Wisconsin. All these destinations are within walking distance as well. Tobacco Warehouse is also convenient to the University of Wisconsin, making it a great option for students, faculty, and staff. Although there are amenities within walking distance, Route 151 allows for easy travel throughout Madison.
