When the winter months arrive in Charleston, the drop in temperature, shorter days, and busier holiday schedules can make self-care feel more like a challenge than a priority. At 17 South Apartments, your waterfront home is designed to help you maintain healthy routines all year round – no matter what the season brings. Here’s a comprehensive guide to nurturing your body and mind this winter, leveraging the modern amenities, elegant finishes, and convenient features that define this premier Charleston community.

Think about adapting your apartment home to encourage relaxation: add plush throw blankets to your sectional sofa, invest in quality candles for gentle lighting, and create a cozy reading nook by your oversized windows. These touches transform your space into your personal winter sanctuary—a place where you’re happy to slow down and focus on yourself.
