South Front Apartments

Overall we liked living here. The staff were always very kind and quick to respond. It’s a very charming neighborhood too.

Our main complaints were the mold and roaches. We had a consistent mold smell and Microbial growth was on many of our things. It ruined some of our things. Even with a dehumidifier, the problem seemed to persist. We also had roaches early on while we were at South Front. I was pretty anal about getting rid of them and we were able to resolve that with consistent spraying... and packaging our food up.

The apartment always felt kind of dirty even after we cleaned it a lot, but I assume that comes with the territory with older apartments, that used to be the projects. The exposed brick walls were always rubbing off and dirty. The bathroom counters and tub were kind of stained.

Like some of the other comments have mentioned, the trains were loud at night, but we kind of got used to them over time. One couple that lived beside us always smoked a lot and the smell would leak through to our apartment and it would smell super strong! We could usually hear their arguments as well.

We also had an issue with how dark it always was in there. It kind of felt like a cave sometimes. There were no lights except in the kitchen and bathrooms.

Overall we enjoyed living here and would recommend South Front to someone wanting to live in a charming neighborhood close to downtown. We loved how dog friendly it was too. I think the apartment has to be for the right person though, it had its drawbacks. For context, we lived in Phase 1 in the brick apartments. Read More

I’ve rented in Wilmington for about 5 years now. This complex rents for about 58% more per sqft than the average Wilmington apartment. They are priced in line with the high-end, heart-of-downtown apartment units but are not nearly as big or nice. These units are extremely small, there is minimal natural lighting and no light fixtures except for kitchen and bathrooms. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this apartment.

Roaches, loud Trains, and bad management. Low income housing with high income rent.

First off the property is super cool. Nice amenities but when you have a poorly built apartment all of that doesn’t matter. I can hear word for word conversations from both neighbors. The train is also very loud every other night. Sometimes until 11pm at night making it hard to relax. Main problem is noise and it’s not that the neighbors are extremely loud.. it’s that the property is poorly built. For example I can hear when my neighbors are arguing and it sounds like they are in the same... apartment as me. The management also refuses to do anything about this. Says you need to contact neighbors first. For the price of rent and service I wouldn’t recommend. Read More

It's impossible to sleep or work quietly from home because you can hear every sound your neighbors make. Their conversations can be heard WORD FOR WORD. I wake up every morning to either their conversations or walking up and down their steps which sounds like it's in my own apartment. I purposefully got an expensive place, with no neighbors above or below me, so that I would not have to deal with that. Also, the screen on the porch does not block any light. The evening sun, plus signs from... nearby businesses, make it impossible to relax and enjoy the apartment in the evening or at night. It's not easily remedied because the entire wall of the apartment after the porch is glass. Also, the property management is unwilling to assist with issues (for instance I was told that I would have to find my own solution to the light issue. I was very excited to move into this place because it has a really cool and modern look. Unfortunately, it was constructed very poorly and the management is unwilling to make necessary improvements. Add smaller issues such as guests cannot visit you without parking outside of your complex due to limited parking and it is built right next to train tracks that create noise every night; and your left with a very over-priced and uncomfortable living situation. Do yourself a favor and find a cheaper, nicer place to live! Read More
