True to its name, marketing has included an ad for Mid City iLofts on New Orleans Craigslist, and MetroWide Apartments, a New Orleans-based management company owned by local developer Joshua Bruno, posted a rather mysterious message on its Facebook wall announcing \u201cbrand new homes in the New Orleans Area!\u201d \u00a0Bruno himself posted on the management company\u2019s wall a slew of links to the websites of several apartment communities, among them Mid City iLofts, located at 635 N. Scott St.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mid City iLofts\u2019 website, the project will feature 25 one-bedroom lofts and one two-bedroom loft. The newly renovated apartment community will feature amenities such as basketball, handball, tetherball and bocce courts; an outdoor kitchen with bar and barbecue grills, picnic tables, outdoor sofas and chairs, and water misting fans around common areas; water features and lush landscaping; 24-hour CCTV cameras; and gated off-street parking with remote access. The pet-friendly community will also boast an animal shower\/bath. Units will be decked out with built-in washer\/dryers, Vola fixtures, GE stainless steel appliances, wood flooring, and as the property\u2019s name suggests, an entire palette of all things high tech: high-speed Wi-Fi, built-in Dolby 8.1 surround speakers, with built-in iPod docks, Apple TVs , iPod\/iPhone docks and even cloud storage for movies, music and software. To further woo the young, tech-savvy crowd expected to flock to Mid-City, attracted by the BioTech corridor, future tenants signing a 12-month lease who pay the first month\u2019s rent, as well as the full deposit, are rewarded with an Android tablet. Monthly rents are advertised to range between $1,150 and $1,500 a month, a price that includes water, gas and Wi-Fi. The property has an 89 out of 100 score on <em>walkscore.com<\/em>, earning it \u201cvery walkable\u201d and \u201cvery bikeable\u201d labels from the specialty website.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report by <em>The Times Picayune<\/em>, back in 2010 the City Planning Commission approved plans by developer Bill Hindman to convert an existing 26-unit apartment building into a 25-unit condominium project, with units priced for sale for an average $103,000.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image credit: Mid City iLofts<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A curiously named new project is about to hit the New Orleans apartment market.
