New York City Lofts

Who can deny the allure of NYC loft living? Open spaces are one of the many things people like about loft living. Even without huge square footage, living in a loft can make any place feel larger than it really is. Most loft apartments are warehouse-to-loft conversions, or loft condos. There are many loft choices to be had in Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Manhattan. Staten Island has several loft complexes to choose from, but you will find more available in the other boroughs. Most New York lofts have very high ceilings, which is almost a requirement for an apartment to be considered a loft. You can also find a more affordable loft if it is part of a loft duplex, which is quite common these days. Huge windows with great views are also a common trait of the New York loft, and is always something to consider when looking to purchase or rent.

In Manhattan, several great neighborhoods for finding lofts for rent and for sale are Chelsea, East Village, Flatiron, NoHo, Soho, and TriBeca. Brooklyn has several great neighborhoods for loft living, including DUMBO, Williamsburg, Park Slope, Greenpoint, Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Fort Greene, Ridgewood, Clinton Hill and Red Hook. Some developers are taking huge initiatives building new, upscale luxury lofts and loft apartments in New York. These lofts will appeal to those seeking loft style apartments and condos with loft amenities without the grittyness of a real New York loft.
