Mansion Hill apartments Madison —
the city’s most storied residential district

Mansion Hill apartments in Madison are set in the city’s oldest and most architecturally significant residential neighborhood, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Bounded by the Capitol Square to the west and Lake Mendota to the north, it’s a rare combination of historic character and unbeatable urban convenience.

The neighborhood takes its name from the grand Victorian and Italianate mansions built here in the late 1800s by Madison’s early civic leaders. Today, Mansion Hill is home to a mix of students, young professionals, and longtime Madison residents who value walkability, character, and proximity to everything the city has to offer.

43 North’s Mansion Hill properties are concentrated on the 100 block of East Gorham Street and at 7 & 11 East Gilman Street — some of the most sought-after addresses in downtown Madison. These are buildings with real architectural history: original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and period details that new construction simply can’t replicate.

Living in Mansion Hill

Residents enjoy some of the best walkability scores in Madison. The Capitol Square Farmers Market — one of the largest in the country — is steps away every Saturday morning. King Street and Pinckney Street offer some of Madison’s best independent restaurants and bars. Olbrich Park and the Yahara River trail system are a short bike ride east.

For UW–Madison students, Mansion Hill offers an easy walk or bus ride to campus along East Washington Avenue or through the Langdon Street corridor — with the added bonus of living in one of the city’s most beautiful and vibrant neighborhoods rather than a generic student apartment complex.

Mansion Hill Apartments on East Gorham Street

East Gorham Street is one of Mansion Hill’s most desirable residential streets — tree-lined, quiet, and walkable to both the Capitol and the lake. 43 North’s 100-block properties offer a range of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments in historic buildings that have been well-maintained for decades.

Apartments on East Gilman Street

East Gilman Street runs parallel to Gorham just one block north, connecting the Capitol area to the Langdon Street lakefront corridor. 7 and 11 East Gilman are among the neighborhood’s most distinctive buildings — well-located, full of character, and consistently in high demand each leasing season.
