Memphis Apartment Lofts vs. Traditional Memphis Apartments
May 20th, 2007 by Memphis Apartments
Do you desire a carefree sort of living situation in which immovable walls and preset distinctive rooms do not define your space for you? Do you feel the need to have every aspect of your life set into a pattern? Do you crave the wide-open floor plans of a loft style Memphis apartment, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows revealing a full, panoramic view, or do you prefer the structured living style of a more traditional Memphis apartment? If you’re unsure of the direction that your living arrangements are heading, continue reading to hear the best (and worst) of loft-style and traditional Memphis apartments.
To sum it up, a traditional Memphis apartment has definitive rooms separated by floor-to-ceiling walls and accessible through doorways with or without a door. The square footage of such a home varies upon the number of rooms, such as a one or two bedroom with or without a den or office. Bathrooms are always separate and are not included in the overall square footage.
On the other hand, a classic loft-style Memphis apartment is one grand space with an average living space of 1,000 to 2,000 square feet. High ceilings (with windows to match), worn wooden floors and exposed building elements such as brick, pipes, beams and duct-work with cavernous spaces beyond the reach of the average resident are just a few of the aspects that lure tenants to the city-life, industrial-chic abode.
Even though the classic loft Memphis apartment is converted from an old manufacturing or warehouse building, more and more contractors are actually meeting the growing demand of loft Memphis apartments by creating these buildings from the ground up. These new-fangled reproductions are referred to as “hybridsâ€.
Both a traditional and loft Memphis apartment come in different shapes and attributes, with or without fireplaces and such details. 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 Memphis apartment, no matter which style you choose.
