About Dolphin Square Apartments

Dolphin Square Apartments is a 60-second walk to the Milwaukee County Zoo and a half-mile from the Zoological Society of Milwaukee. Our location is perfect for employees because they never have to drive or take a bus to work!

Heat, water, and climate-controlled indoor parking are included in residents’ rent to let them spend more time doing what they want and less time thinking about paying bills.

 

One Bedroom Apartments Near Milwaukee County Zoo

Our one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is an open-concept ideal for entertaining family and friends. A large closet and full bathroom upon entrance make it easy for you to greet your visitors and easy for them to navigate your apartment.

The bathroom and kitchen’s design theme consists of white cabinetry, black hardware, and hardwood floors. The consistent, modern theme makes you feel calm and comfortable in every area. The dining room isn’t far from the kitchen to make entertaining and preparing meals for guests fun and effortless.

After dinner, your guests can retire in the living room and take in the views of the city outside the new Pella windows that are both energy-efficient and sound-canceling. Perhaps your guests had a long journey and would prefer to use the bathroom’s vanity lights to clean up or relax in a warm bath surrounded by stunning subway tiling.

Just because you’re hosting doesn’t mean you’re on display; the bedroom was carefully placed with your privacy in mind. Should you need to access the bedroom, you can still get in and out of the bedroom to spend more time with your visitors and less time finding what you need.

Our one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is excellent for anyone who likes to entertain.

 

Two Bedroom Apartments Near Milwaukee County Zoo

Our two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is a magnificent haven. The kitchen’s stainless-steel appliances pair with white cabinets and contrasting black hardware. The spectacular hardwood floors bring every design aspect together beautifully.

The two-bedroom apartment floor plan resembles our one-bedroom layout despite one difference: a hallway. The simple hallway is balanced with one closet and one bedroom on each side with a full bathroom at the end. This decreases the likelihood of a guest accidentally walking into someone’s bedroom instead of the bathroom.

The bathroom’s vanity lights make preparing yourself in the morning pleasant, while the bathtub and subway tiling make for relaxing evenings. Our two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is a superb spot for people of all ages.
