Large, open floor plans, high ceilings, and minimal interior walls are a few of the reasons that people are so drawn to loft-style condominiums. While traditional apartments offer a more standard interior layout with walls, doors, closets, loft-style spaces give residents the chance to truly make their space their own. Loft-style condos often feature large or floor-to-ceiling windows and tend to provide residents with more space, which can be used for living, storage, or for work. For Jacksonville residents who prefer a loft-style space to a more traditional apartment, there are several buildings that are worth consideration. Whether you’re an artist in search of a studio or simply seeking an open living space, Jacksonville has a loft-style building to meet your needs.
