The Benefits of Living in a Loft. Loft apartments are popular living arrangements for singles, especially in large cities. Units of this type are commonly created using space what was once reserved for commercial purposes, such as retail stores or warehouses. While the floor plans for loft apartments vary, most will make use of the original brick walls and tall windows as part of the basic design.

Lofts are great options for people who prefer to live without a lot of walls in their living space. Some units only include walls for the bathroom space. It is not unusual for the kitchen area to be fixed along one wall, and include a full range of built in appliances. The remainder of the space is open and can be segregated into living, dining, and sleeping areas based on the preferences of the tenant.

While the floor plan for most lofts is open, that does not mean the space will necessarily be difficult to heat and cool. The windows are often double paned, a feature that makes it much easier to control the indoor climate. Brick functions as an excellent insulator, another aspect that aids in maintaining the desired temperature. Even if the space is outfitted with radiators for heat and ductless air conditioners for warm weather, the monthly utility cost is still likely to be very affordable.

If you have never considered a loft apartment before, take the time to tour a couple of units today. Once you have the chance to see just how versatile these units are, going back to a more traditional apartment will be the last thing you want to do.
