The Loft Market in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area
Loft-style living has arrived in DC. Amidst the law firms and lobbyists circling Capitol Hill, the clubs in Adams Morgan, people watching in Dupont Circle, and quiet bedroom communities in Arlington and Montgomery counties, loft-style condos and apartments have sprung up. In the past few years, more than 150 developments have been built, converted, or are planned with lofts or units with loft-like features. Most have high-ceilings, tall windows, and open floor plans. Some have concrete floors, exposed ceilings and ductwork. Very few are in converted buildings similar to the true lofts that one would find in Manhattan, Chicago, or San Francisco. As city lifestyle living expands into the suburbs of DC, lofts are following into areas such as Arlington and Alexandria in Northern Virginia and Bethesda and Silver Spring in Maryland. Lofts are here to stay in the DC metro area.
