Yeah, I wouldn’t want to live in a condo like that…I’d rather have high ceilings and less floor space than a second floor.

I’m a baby boomer living in a four story townhouse. We have an elevator. I use the stairs as much as possible, because I think they’re great exercise. However, my husband, who has worse knees, primarily uses the elevator. We use it to move groceries, laundry and our dogs around as well. They like to hang out on the fourth floor terrace and supervise neighborhood goings on. They know, if the elevator is on it’s way up to the fourth floor, they’re likely going on a walk.

I’ve recently noticed a significant increase in baby carriages in the neighborhood. There’s always something going on here, and there are always people out on the street. There’s a much greater feeling of energy than anywhere else in the city I’ve lived.

Block 42 and Maywood Lofts have might have flats available for re-sale . No developer will be building suburban style “one levels”. Land is too scarce and too expensive.

“Babyboomers do not want to live in multilevel condos.”

Well, babyboomers with bad knees, anyway, and mine aren’t so hot.

Loved this story! Of course, I’m biased because Kurt is my husband and Elizabeth is my daughter. But, the story really captured our excitement four years ago when we purchased our condo. We saw the potential for downtown living then and it has only gotten better!

I hope one level “for sale” housing will be built in downtown, midtown and art district. Babyboomers do not want to live in multilevel condos. Love your articles.
