Loft living offers great, open spaces for those people with a desire to live a "minimalist" lifestyle and who tend to focus on activities outside of their homes and not so much inside their home.

Lofts are great for people who ...

... aren't into home maintenance. They don’t want to mow the grass or repair the sprinkler system every spring and they don't often set the VCR to record "This Old House" on PBS.

... want freedom to travel. Just turn off the oven, the iron, lock the door and leave!

... want to be in the heart of the city. People who like being near the action of the city with all of the things it offers to see and do.

... like to walk to work, or dining or to all of those really great shops and service boutiques that aren’t part of a chain.

WHAT IS A LOFT?

It used to be that a loft was a 100+ year old manufacturing or warehouse building that had been converted into open-style living or office spaces. That is still true and many of the most charming loft residences are in just such buildings. However, in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe, developers have very few old buildings to convert, so they have taken to building loft type buildings from scratch.

These “new” lofts provide you with logical living designs and modern amenities. They provide a unique opportunity to redefine your way of living in a way that more than makes up for the lack of a long industrial history.

INSIDE A LOFT

Traditionally, a loft is a high ceiling open space you could finish with a kitchen and bath and some furniture scattered about. Newer rehabs or new buildings have taken to adding a few walls to define spaces while using sophisticated kitchen and bath design details and fixtures.

Still, the point of a loft is open space and creative use of that space invites the owner to arrange "things" to suit their personal lifestyle and taste. In some loft buildings, an area near a tall window with a city view may be an ideal home office for one resident while being a perfect dining area for another. The great part is, the owner decides the use-of-space issues ... not the builder!

If your needs are more geared toward defined spaces, perhaps a condo is more in line.
