Cathy and Alex Primm love living in the heart of Springfield, and they wanted to remain close when it came time to downsize. As luck would have it, a brief inquiry about a balcony that overlooks Missouri State University’s campus would have them moving just down the street from their previous home and into a spacious apartment on the top floor of the Regency Tower, complete with not just one, but two balconies overlooking the city and neighborhood they love. Each view offers a different experience, providing the couple with the choice of the buzz of campus or a tranquil, treetop escape.
