As prices for condos in Boston rise and opportunities evaporate, we find ourselves asking, “Where can I find the kind of space I need without breaking the bank?”. At Luxury Residential Group, we are finding unique deals in properties known as Loft Style Condos. These are genrally Brick buildings with spacious, open spaces but modern appliances and finishes. Most can be found in The Seaport, Financial District, Fort Pt. SOWA(South Of Washington in The South End) and South Boston. Buildings like FP3(Seaport), Court Square Press, Wilkes Passage and Channel Center, all converted in the last 10 to 15 years are just a few you should pay attention to. Where most luxury condos in Boston are priced in the $750 to $1,600 per square foot range, you can find Boston Lofts in the $300 to $600 price per foot range. Feel free to visit out sister site at Boston Lofts Space <—-Click here to find every publically listed Loft For Sale and Loft For Rent. This will provide some insight into the discussion above.
