Apartment or Loft? Which is the perfect deal for me?

There are pros and cons associated with both apartments and lofts and the best fit really has to do with what kind of function they want their living space to provide. If you are someone with a care free attitude who does not want their world defined by barriers, then a loft would be the best option. But if you need pre-defined boundaries for privacy and space then the traditional apartment setting is the way to go.

A traditional apartment has definitive rooms separated by floor-to-ceiling walls and accessible through doorways with or without a door. Bathrooms are always separate and are not included in the overall square footage. A classic loft-style apartment is one huge space with an average living space of 1,000 to 2,000 square feet. High ceilings (with windows to match), hardwood floors and exposed building elements such as brick, pipes, and beams with cavernous spaces beyond the reach of the average resident are just a few of the aspects that lure tenants to the city-life. Many lofts are converted factory space which reflects the living environment. Lofts are usually attractive living spaces for trendy hipsters and yuppies looking to make their mark on the NYC scene.

Brooklyn is filled with many traditional apartments and lofts each offering up great living space and spectacular city views. Secured video entry, in-house fitness center and a pool are a just a few of the luxury items that may or may not come with your apartment, no matter which style you choose.
