Loft living has exploded in popularity in urban areas in recent years. Former manufacturing and warehouse space, plentiful in most urban areas, is converted to residential use, typically featuring exposed brick and utilities, heavy timbers, and over-sized windows. Loft living has become so desirable that that sometimes brand new buildings are constructed with a vintage, converted look.

Loft living was pioneered by artists and musicians seeking lots of heavy-duty, no frills space at minimal cost. To this day, artists and musicians continue to lead the movement where underutilized manufacturing space is still available. Urban professionals, downsizing retirees, and anyone else interested in this unique style of living, often near the core of cities, quickly follow.

Lofts today often feature all the amenities expected by current buyers. Gleaming hardwood flooring, state-of-the-art appliances, individual heating and cooling and cable TV/Internet wiring are often accompanied by indoor parking, modern elevator service and other features.
