 UPTOWN CONDOS
Uptown Minneapolis is an urbane, densely populated, residential, entertainment, and commercial area with a relatively low unemployment rate, smaller households of mostly young, trendy adults, and a good place to thrive without a car. Uptown official boundaries are by Lake Calhoun on the west, Dupont on the east, 31st Street to the south and 28th Street to the north. However most people have extended almost to Franklin on the north side, Lyndale on the east side, and the 36th Street cemetery on the south.
With vast number of Baby Boomer influx into the cities as well as the Gen Xer's seeking affordable living, there are numerous Condo Conversion Projects rangeing from the mid 100's to the upper bracket homes. Typically, the uptown location and/or proximity to Lake Calhoun, Harriet and the Isles determines the price point. For example, currently a First Time Homebuyer can find a 1 Bedroom Condo in the 160's including either onsite parking and/or underground parking.

 LOFTS & CONDOS MINNEAPOLIS
Loft trends have hit the Minneapolis metro area in a big way. The Mississippi Riverfront areas have attracted the heaviest concentration, but several loft projects are underway or completed in Minneapolis' North Warehouse District and around St. Paul's Lowertown and North Quadrant.
A true loft for Minneapolis (or "hard" loft) is a conversion of a vintage factory or warehouse, having a harder edge of either concrete construction, or "mill" construction of exposed brick and original wood posts, beams and floors. Ceilings should be over ten feet high at least. This is increasingly very important for loft purchasers, as developers are now building condos with slightly higher ceilings than in the past. It is the height that helps give a loft the feeling of air and space. Larger windows and open concept layouts also help. Ceilings are unfinished and pipes and heating ducts are exposed. Do not expect to find a 1,000 square foot loft divided up into two bedrooms and a den. It will much more likely have a kitchen and a bathroom with the rest of the space left as one large open room, which you can work with and use according to your own functions and needs. Some people think a loft means you have a second mezzanine level overlooking the floor below, but this is simply one style of loft.
Beware of another type of loft -- the newly constructed loft (or "soft lofts"), which are for the most part "Condos With High Ceilings", and are examples of Minneapolis condo developers trying to cash in on the popularity of lofts. They are still great units, just not "true" lofts.
Minneapolis lofts are found mostly in the Warehouse district and downtown Minneapolis areas. The average price for a Minneapolis loft is about $300,000. Though Minneapolis lofts can vary in price ranging from $190K - $1.5 million
Association dues vary, but on average are $.20/square foot.
Below are a variety of the newer Minneapolis Loft and Condo projects.
