Where are these apartments and can u buy them?

Question

i was always intrigued with those apartments in the 80's they always showed in the movies....usually a old beat down industrial building and they go up this huge cargo elevator to there apartment.......what are they called...are they real? and where can i find them in la and how much?

Answer 1

Those are lofts. Most places with a "downtown" have older warehouses that have been converted into loft apartments. Even my town has them -- and they ain't cheap. I've looked at them STARTING at $200,000 -- and that only includes ONE parking spot and NO balcony.

They LOOK really nice, but your heating bill will be outrageous when it comes to properly heating (and cooling) that one big space.

Answer 2

These places probably just exist on movie theater scenery sets.

Answer 3

.  Go to Buffalo , New York and you can buy an old abandoned one for $80,000.

Answer 4

Lofts and New York City is where they are.
