DOWNTOWN IS GROWING . More than 4,700 new apartments , 450,000 SF of retail , and 870,000 SF of office space will open in the next few years .
IT ’ S AFFORDABLE . The average rent is a lot less than similar-sized cities and you don ’ t need a car . That means you can afford to hit the town , or ballpark , or galleries , or theatres .
NEW DIGS . New and recently-rehabbed apartments are popping up everywhere , like 10 Light Street ’ s iconic conversion , 520 Park Avenue and the accompanying Mt . Vernon Marketplace , 1111 Light Street ’ s environmentallyfriendly new build in Federal Hill , and the artsy and centrally-located Centerpoint in Bromo Arts District .
