Bubble Up: Winter Just Got Cozier on the Terrace

November 25, 2025

Because Wisconsin winters deserve a little more “wow” and a lot more warm.

Let’s be honest: winter in Madison can be... a lot. But what if we told you that instead of hibernating indoors with a third mug of hot cocoa, you could be sipping that cocoa outside inside a glowing winter dome?


That’s right, the community terrace at Starkweather Place just leveled up. We’ve added a shared winter dome for residents to enjoy all season long. It’s cozy. It’s chic. It’s kind of magical, actually.


This transparent, igloo-style structure gives you all the fresh air feels without the frostbite. Whether you’re catching up with friends, having a solo wine night, or pretending you’re in a snow globe, the dome is your new go-to hangout.


Pro tip:  bring a fuzzy blanket and your favorite takeout from one of the many delicious local spots nearby (hello, Garver Feed Mill).

Living in the SASY neighborhood means you’re never far from adventure or a really good cup of coffee. From snowy walks along Starkweather Creek to quirky shops and galleries, this part of Madison offers a walkable lifestyle that’s hard to beat.


Looking for apartments in Madison, WI that bring the charm year-round? Starkweather Place is more than just a home. It’s a vibe. With features like a fire pit, fitness center, and community lounge (not to mention that dreamy dome), winter is looking pretty good from here.
