lofts: Urban Community: people helping people. - 01/31/08 10:50 AM
I'm always impressed on how interested people at the urban core are more apt at saying 'hello' or helping a stranger. I have relatives visiting and they made the comment that suburbia doesn't really seem to promote a true sense of community. I've always been a city or country person, not

Most (not all obviously) loft condos in Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale have reduced monthly expenses as compared to single family homes. The insurance, heating and cooling, lack of landscaping, pool, etc... makes for a reduced monthly expenses. Of course some of the luxury properties have high HOA's to address all the

lofts: Urban core living: a true green initiative - 01/22/08 11:27 AM
The main reason I focus on urban residential real estate is because it truly addresses the human impact on our planet. Living in the core minimizes the use of the single occupant vehicle which reduces emissions due to commutes to work and play. Also, urban condos/homes are usually smaller in size
