Out of all of the common types of apartments found in New York City, lofts are synonymous with “cool.” They embody a particularly urban style of living. These former industrial spaces converted into residential apartments are typically spacious, open, airy, and bright. They usually have high ceilings, big windows, and gritty features like exposed pipes and beams. These iconic New York homes can be hard to find. But there are still some old-school spaces and newly built loft-style units out there. Here are five of our favorite NYC lofts for sale right now.

And while it’s technically a studio, there’s plenty of space, including a separate kitchen. Plus, a decorative fireplace gives the place an effortlessly chic look. Carrie would approve!
