| Neighborhood Description: |
Sherman Terrace, a small condominium community, is located on the near east side of Madison. Lake Mendota and Yahara River are a short 1/2-block walk away. Tenney Park offers public access to these water bodies: swimming on at Tenney Park in the summer, paddling along Yahara River, and ice skating at Tenney Lagoon in the winter. Tenney Park also hosts other recreational amenities: soccer fields, tennis courts, and walking paths. A new shelter, with a historic look, was built in the Summer of 2009.
Thirty-six residential buildings are located on the wooded 9-acre site. The brick, three-story units are modestly priced making this one of the most affordable housing choices on the trendy east side. The historic feel of the buildings (built in 1949) fit into the older, architecturally interesting neighborhood. |
