New Blog: South Front Apartments
| WDI had the pleasure of touring South Front Apartments this week, and all we can say is "WOW." We couldn't help but notice that we posted the press release on the development plans for the former Nesbitt Courts public housing project one year ago today. (Click here to read it!) We are so impressed with the progress that has been made in one year, and we wanted to share our experience with you. Read more about the amenities, security, green initiatives and apartment features.
