Condo Review- Lofts 11



Today I went to go see Lofts 11, a new building in "NoMa" (the cutesy nickname for the developing area north of Mass Ave around the Convention Center). The developers seem to be trying to claim lots of neighborhoods; the website says NoMa and the listing says Logan/Penn Quarter. As a point of fact the building is located on 11th Street between L and M. Three of the units for sale were open for viewing and I have to say this building got a few things right. The kitchens were in proportion to the living space, all of the properties (even the smaller 1 BR) had a dining room area, and the finishes were very nice. A 1BR on the fourth floor was a good value for the space at $399,000 however it didn't have an open kitchen and the bedroom closet was too small. A larger 1Br/1.5 bath had a sort of funky floorplan with a walk-in closet and full bath off the living room...rather than near the bedroom. I guess having a strange configuration gives it authentic "loft feel"? Might be a good building to get a deal, the top floor penthouse units are listed for rent as well as for sale, meaning the developers are getting a little nervous.
