Working from home changes what you need from an apartment.

A kitchen counter may be enough for the occasional email. It is not always enough for full workdays filled with video calls, focused tasks, and multiple monitors. Once your home becomes part of your workplace, internet access, noise, natural light, layout, and shared amenities matter much more.

The best apartment for remote work is not necessarily the one with the longest amenity list. It is the one that gives you a reliable place to focus, a comfortable setup, and somewhere to step away when the workday ends.

Regency Property Management offers four Verona communities with different remote-work advantages. Homestead and The Outlook provide fiber connectivity and sound-conscious construction. Lincoln Street offers a business center, community Wi-Fi, and select floor plans with dens. Prairie Crest combines a business center with convenient access to Epic Systems and outdoor recreation.

Here is how to choose the right fit.

Which Verona Apartments Are Best for Remote Work?

The short answer depends on your priorities:

  • Choose Homestead Luxury Rentals for fiber connectivity, premium sound-deadening insulation, a business center, and extensive work-life amenities.
  • Choose The Outlook at 1000 Oaks for fiber connectivity, a conference boardroom, sound-deadening insulation, and a lounge that offers a change of scenery.
  • Choose Lincoln Street Apartments for a business center, community-room Wi-Fi, and select apartments with a den.
  • Choose Prairie Crest Apartments for a business center, clubhouse Wi-Fi, nearby trails, and proximity to Epic Systems.

No apartment can guarantee perfect internet, complete silence, or uninterrupted work. Confirm the available service and tour the exact apartment before making a decision.

What Should Remote Workers Look for in an Apartment?

Reliable Internet Options

Internet is the first thing to check.

Do not ask only whether internet is available. Ask:

  • Which providers serve the apartment?
  • Is fiber connectivity available?
  • What download and upload speeds can I purchase?
  • Is professional installation required?
  • Where does the connection enter the apartment?
  • Can I use my preferred router?
  • What happens if service is interrupted?

Video meetings, cloud storage, file uploads, and simultaneous device use depend on more than the advertised maximum download speed. The Federal Communications Commission recommends comparing broadband performance with the online activities you expect to use [2].

Internet service is not identified as included with rent at Regency properties. Residents choose and purchase an available plan.

A Dedicated Workspace

A separate office is useful, but it is not essential if the floor plan has a sensible place for a desk.

Look for enough space to position your monitor directly in front of you, keep frequently used equipment within reach, and sit without blocking a walkway. OSHA notes that a comfortable workstation should provide adequate leg clearance and allow equipment to be positioned without awkward postures [3].

During a tour, check:

  • Electrical outlets
  • Natural light
  • Window glare
  • Desk depth
  • Background for video calls
  • Distance from the kitchen and television
  • Proximity to shared walls
  • Space for equipment and files

Bring your desk measurements if you already own one.

Manageable Noise

No apartment is completely soundproof. Still, building materials, windows, floor-plan placement, and the location of the apartment can affect how much noise reaches your workspace.

Homestead and The Outlook feature premium sound-deadening insulation and Andersen windows. These features are designed to support a more comfortable living environment, but they should not be presented as a guarantee of silence [1].

Listen during the tour. Notice nearby elevators, entrances, parking areas, amenity rooms, and mechanical equipment.

Shared Workspaces

A business center or conference room can provide a valuable backup when you need a change from your desk.

Shared workspaces may also be useful when:

  • You need a different video-call background
  • Someone else is using the apartment
  • You want to separate work from home
  • You need more table space
  • Your normal workspace is temporarily unavailable

Ask about access hours, Wi-Fi, reservations, quiet expectations, and whether private calls are appropriate.

Ways to Step Away From Work

Remote work can make the day feel like one long stretch inside the same room.

A fitness center, walking trail, rooftop patio, pool, or lounge gives you somewhere to reset without planning a major trip. Verona maintains 25 parks and four conservancy or special-use areas across more than 160 acres, providing additional options for getting outside [4].

The best remote-work apartment should support both sides of the day: focused work and a clear break from it.

Homestead Luxury Rentals: Best for Resort-Style Work-Life Balance

Homestead was built in 2023 and offers one of Regency’s most complete remote-work packages.

Apartments include fiber optics, Andersen windows, in-unit laundry, closet organizers, and premium sound-deadening insulation. Depending on availability, a larger floor plan may provide room for a separate workstation.

The community also includes:

  • A business center
  • A rooftop patio
  • A two-season porch
  • An athlete-designed fitness center
  • A yoga room
  • A resort-style pool
  • A clubhouse and community room
  • Grilling areas
  • Bike storage

These amenities make it easier to move between work, exercise, and relaxation without remaining in the same room all day.

Water, sewer, trash, and recycling are included. Residents should confirm the current internet provider, service plans, parking arrangement, and electricity requirements before applying [1].

The Outlook: Best for Shared Workspaces and Connectivity

The Outlook was built in 2022 and pairs fiber connectivity with several spaces that can support remote and hybrid schedules.

Apartments include Andersen windows, in-unit laundry, modern finishes, and premium sound-deadening insulation. Most first-floor apartments have private entrances, while upper-floor apartments include patios.

Community spaces include:

  • A conference boardroom
  • A lounge with a fireplace and televisions
  • A rooftop patio
  • A fitness center
  • A yoga room
  • A resort-style pool
  • Fire pits
  • Grilling areas
  • Coffee service

The conference boardroom is especially relevant for residents who sometimes need a larger table or a more formal setting. Confirm reservation rules and whether it is appropriate for private meetings.

Heated underground parking, water, sewer, and garbage are included. Internet options include TDS and Spectrum, with fiber optics extending to each apartment [1].

Lincoln Street: Best for Downtown Verona Access and Flexible Layouts

Lincoln Street opened in 2020 and offers studio through three-bedroom floor plans.

Select apartments include a den, which may provide a more defined home-office area. Other apartment features include in-unit laundry, walk-in closets with organizers, stainless steel appliances, and modern finishes.

Remote-work amenities include:

  • A business center
  • A community room with Wi-Fi
  • A 24-hour fitness center
  • An outdoor patio
  • Grilling space
  • Underground bike storage
  • Nearby trail access

The property’s location near downtown Verona can also make quick errands, coffee breaks, and outdoor time easier to build into the day.

Water, sewer, trash, recycling, and one assigned underground parking space are included. Residents arrange internet through TDS. Non-studio residents also establish gas service through Madison Gas and Electric [1].

Prairie Crest: Best for Epic Proximity and Outdoor Breaks

Prairie Crest is an established community near Epic Systems and scenic trails.

It may work particularly well for hybrid employees who divide their time between home and the Epic campus. Actual commute times depend on the route, schedule, and traffic, so test the trip before applying.

The property includes:

  • A business center
  • A clubhouse with Wi-Fi
  • A coffee bar
  • A 24-hour fitness center
  • A seasonal swimming pool
  • Grilling areas

Assigned heated underground parking is included. Internet options include TDS and Spectrum [1].

What Should You Ask During a Remote-Work Apartment Tour?

Ask:

  • Which internet providers serve this apartment?
  • Is fiber available?
  • Where will the router be installed?
  • Is there room for my desk and equipment?
  • Does the apartment receive natural light during work hours?
  • Is there a den or extra bedroom available?
  • Can I hear hallway or amenity-area noise?
  • What are the business center hours?
  • Can shared workspaces be reserved?
  • Is Wi-Fi available in community areas?
  • How does maintenance handle connectivity-related building issues?
  • What parking is available on office days?
  • Which utilities are included?

If your job depends on reliable connectivity, contact the internet provider before signing. Property management can confirm infrastructure and providers, but the provider controls available plans and service performance.

Create a Better Work-From-Home Setup

Once you move in, give your workspace a clear purpose.

Position your monitor in front of you, keep your shoulders relaxed, and choose a chair that supports your back. OSHA recommends arranging the keyboard and monitor so you can work without repeatedly twisting or reaching [3].

It also helps to:

  • Keep work equipment together
  • Use lighting that does not create screen glare
  • Place the desk away from the television
  • Use headphones when appropriate
  • Keep video-call backgrounds simple
  • Take breaks away from the desk
  • Put work devices away when the day ends

You do not need a perfect office. You need a setup you can use comfortably and consistently.
