The Lofts of Historic Jackson Blvd.
By · Comments
Jackson Blvd. in the West Loop houses some of the West Loop areas most popular loft buildings. The buildings offer a lot of amenities not tradionally found in a loft such as 24 hr. doormen, dry cleaners, exercise rooms and walls? That’s right walls. Traditionally a loft would not have any walls, with rooms being defined mainly by furniture and decorating.Haberdasher Square Lofts located at 728 W. Jackson was a pioneer in providing many building amenities in a true loft building. This building has 225 units with 150 concrete lofts and 75 timber lofts. This is a full amenity building that includes an exercise room, 1/2 basketball ct., roof deck with Wi-Fi, Party Room, 24 hour doorman, dry cleaners, on site management, and heated garage parking.
Directly across the street from Haberdasher is 701 W. Jackson Lofts, a timber loft building boutique building with only 46 units. This building does not really have any amenities, so if those are not important to you, the monthly assessments will be very attractive in this building. A 2 bedroom can average around $200/month. These are spacious units with balconies, in-unit laundry and garage parking as well as outdoor secured parking.
Capitol Hill Lofts
To the east of 701 W. Jackson is Capitol Hill Lofts at 625 W. Jackson. The complex has housed a hat maker, printer and other small manufacturing companies like the Uneeda Vacuum Company. This is a timber loft building and has 90 units. The amenities in this building include an exercise room, bike room and provides 24 hour security cameras. This building also has garage parking as well as outdoor secured parking.

When your Landlord will not allow you to paint
By · CommentsInteresting video about decorating with paint. If you rent and you want to paint the walls, most landlords will want you to return the walls to their original color. This can be time consuming and expensive. This video shows an interesting alternative.
