101 S. Division Lofts Condominium

...—and what strikes you first is the sheer generosity of the space. Ten-foot ceilings soar overhead in these lofts, themselves carved from a late-1870s building that sat at the corner of Division Avenue until 2009, when someone decided to restore it properly rather than tear it down. The bones are beautiful: pecan hardwood and ceramic tile floors, designer kitchens with stainless steel, and floor-to-ceiling windows that remind you the outside world is still there. Studios through two-bedroom units are offered at income-restricted rates—designed so people actually live here instead of just passing through.
