It's undeniable, living downtown is the ultimate in convenience. And what better way to be downtown than in one of Scottsdale's new lofts?
Lofts have been gaining popularity over the past few years for their style and functionality. While not for everyone, many people go nuts over lofts. While lofts were originally suites made from converted old factories, to respond to consumer demand, Arizona developers have come through with some new, beautiful buildings designed specifically for loft-lovers.
The minimalist style of lofts are one of their major appeals. Open concepts allow loft-owners to do interior finishing details to their own tastes. Fewer defined rooms give them the freedom to decide how they want to use the space. Why have a dining room if you almost never eat at home, or prefer to eat in the living room? A loft allows you to arrange your furniture the way you will use it.Or, let the minimalism be an esthetic in itself.
Many loft-dwellers have cited the high ceilings and huge windows common in such buildings as being freeing, like being outside, inside. They find the open space of a loft to be a breath of fresh air. Further, there's no yard to maintain, which means more relaxed living.
Best of all, though, lofts are in the heart of the city. With easy access to the restaurants and entertainment of downtown, not to mention a short commute to work, lofts are truly convenience come to life.
If you are considering a loft in Scottsdale, or anywhere in Arizona, selection is huge right now. There's Main St. Plaza in Scottsdale, surrounded by historic buildings in the heart of it all. There's retail space downstairs, while the upper floors are all residential. These luxury suites feature a common courtyard as well as large private balconies.
There's also Third Avenue Lofts, with designer kitchens, stainless appliances and gorgeous views. Some suites are two levels. The Penthouse features two terraces and quest quarters. There are very few suites left at Third Avenue Lofts.
