Holiday Cheer, Bagels, and a Lobby Tree: Winter at Arden

November 25, 2025

A season of small touches, thoughtful gestures, and community spirit in the heart of Tenney-Lapham.

It’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays at Arden. Our lobby now features a festive holiday tree, lit and decorated to welcome residents and visitors alike. It’s a cheerful reminder that a little seasonal décor goes a long way in making a space feel warm and inviting.


Just outside, classic garland lines the front entrance, adding a bit of charm to East Washington Avenue. It’s a small touch, but one we hope adds a smile to your day, whether you're heading out or just coming home.

Current Community Events

Bagels, Coffee, and Community

This morning, we treated our residents to a bagel breakfast in the lobby. It was a simple way to say thank you and bring neighbors together during a busy time of year. We know how much a good cup of coffee and a warm bagel can do.

Resident Food Drive for Second Harvest

Throughout the month, Arden residents are invited to participate in our holiday food drive benefiting Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin. It's a meaningful opportunity to give back this season by donating non-perishable items to help support local families. Contributions can be dropped off in the designated lobby collection area. We truly appreciate your generosity.

The Tenney-Lapham neighborhood is always full of energy, but there’s something especially nice about being here during the holidays. Whether you're walking to a nearby café, taking in the winter lights on a quiet stroll, or enjoying the view from your high-rise apartment balcony, the season brings a calm beauty to Madison. Arden's apartments offer a wonderful vantage point to see the neighborhood glow at night.
