Lofts offer affordable live-work room for artists, designers and musicians who need wide open space and for those who just want to live as if they do. Detroit's old, empty buildings offer lots of large, raw spaces ripe for redevelopment. Lofts are springing up along Woodward Avenue, in Eastern Market and in Corktown. It's hoped the lofts will create more pedestrian traffic and a new sense of streetlife. Downtown loft dwellers, for example, are within an easy walk or People Mover ride of Harmonie Park, Greektown, the Theater District, Hart Plaza and Comerica Park.
Midtown residents can walk to restaurants, galleries and museums.
