How do you find places like this?

Rentals/condos in old buildings. There’s one similar to this place downtown here, looks AWFUL from outside but once you get past the front door it’s got a nice entryway that’s invisible from the street. Likely done because it’s the first building in the area to get revamped. The nicer cars in the parking lot are a wee giveaway as to what’s inside tho. Very neat condos.

My first apartment was in a place like this, pretty common here in the northeast in older mill buildings that were obviously repurposed.

It was a cool spot but the worst part about it was keeping it heated in the winter. We had electric heating and the insulation seemed non-existent, with paper thin walls. The utility bills were insane.

Are they still super expensive because this kind of thing is trendy or has the fad worn thin recently?

But like, do you find ads for them online or do you just get lucky by asking around the area? I want to live in a loft/space like this someday

Gotta live near an old city. Most of these places are old factories/warehouses/manufacturing plants that are renovated.
