I just moved in and am loving it so far. Anna was amazing from the beginning - she gave me a great tour, answered all my questions, and made me feel welcomed and at home before I even knew it was going to be my home. The application and move in process was very smooth and uncomplicated.

South Front Apartments is really a special place. So much more than an apartment complex, it’s a true unique community and offers incredible amenities like a 24 hour pool, huge rooftop garden, many free reservable spaces for get togethers and a large dog park on top of the abundant green space! Super close to downtown but just far enough so parking is easy and there are no extra fees for visitors and you can always find a spot for them. The neighbors and the employees are what really make the place the best though. Lacey, Justin, Dave, Ben, Addie and Blake work so hard and care so much about the community. I wish I could take it all with me as I move out of state!!
