LOFTS for the young and old
Before, loft spaces are inhabited by artists but nowadays, young and old, artist or not are in search of loft living for many reasons. Lofts are not just former industrial spaces converted into a dwelling place that only exists in New York and Los Angeles or any other cities in US. What comprises loft spaces is something that many housing experts are disagreeing about. But whatever the concern is, it is a known fact that whether you are a fresh out of college graduate who is relocating to the city or a middle aged couple in search for something other than the tedious, serene feel in the suburbs, a lot of people are being drawn to the glamorous lifestyle of loft living.

Loft living in Los Angeles has expanded from beyond Downtown. Hollywood say the opening of the Cosmo Lofts in 2005 and last year Westmorelan Lofts opened in Silver Lake. Recently a new creative community, Lacy Studio Lofts opened just north of downtown LA. While the market has shifted from a pure artist environment, these properties specifically cater to the entertainment industry and the arts.

Loft living is a great way of combining a home and office environment. The live work concept in New York and Los Angeles has now advanced to many other cities around the country. Once drawback is that the term loft is being overused by some apartment owners when their units are not truly lofts.

Excellent!
Many who lived in a college town 35 to 40 years ago and then maybe lived in Greenwich village or the Haight etc., went and got married, had kids, moved to the burbs, cause the city didn’t give the kids the space. Now the kids are grown and gone and mom and dad don’t want to got to arizona, nor do they want to mow the lawn, fix the roof, or shovel the walk! Downtown lofts are too expensive, and they want some of the same things they had before; cafes, music, books, a college or young feel to it…mill buildings in fact! We have a 300,000 square foot building that fits the bill! In Williamsport Pa. Three hours from NYC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and D.C., Four hours to Pittsburgh, great town and surrounded by wilderness too! Huge lofts lowest costs, free rent for awhile, the Artisans Guild, come on over! sincerely, Michael Baltzer
