Do not buy a loft at the Pierpont Lofts in Salt Lake City until you have read this. You really need to consider a few things before you jump in and purchase one.
Overview:
The Pierpont Lofts in Salt Lake City can be found at 346 W 240 S (in between 200 and 300 S). They back up to my personal favorite loft community, the Broadway Park Lofts. The Pierpont Lofts have some great features and generally have a good vibe. They were converted from two warehouses into lofts back in 2001. From the covered courtyard to the exposed brick added to the fact that these lofts actually used to be a warehouse make the Pierpont Lofts worth taking a look at. There are a variety of floor plans at the Pierpont Lofts. Some of the units even have trap door-style basements for storage.

Let’s talk about the good and the bad for the Pierpont Lofts in downtown Salt Lake City.
The Good:
The Pierpont lofts definitely have the coolness factor going for them. Also, having laundry in the unit is a big plus. Being built in 2001, they are noticeably nicer and newer than most of the other loft communities in the area. I also love that there are so many different floor plans. Most communities will have only 2 or 3 different plans and so your condo ends up being identical to ⅓ of the others. The location is also pretty good. It is close to Pioneer Park, which is the homeless capital of Utah, but it is also close to all of the downtown attractions. There are plenty of restaurants within close walking distance as well as both downtown malls. I also really like the covered courtyard. 
The Bad:
Parking. That is the worst thing about the Pierpont Lofts. Some units have a reserved spot in the secured lot (hey that rhymes), but many don’t. Parking is pretty important to me. If I had to choose between living in a place where I had to park on the street in the 2 hour parking zones or get shot in the face, I would need some time to think about it. That’s how much I dislike parking on the street. The parking police are extremely productive and thorough in the downtown area, too. If you are parked more than 2 hours, they will find you. Oh yes, they will find you. And they will make you pay ($10, to be exact, but it becomes $40 if you don’t pay it quickly). Anyway, that is my only real gripe about the Pierpont Lofts. Oh, and the homeless hangout down the street. Don’t love that either.
