I'm willing to move for better noise isolation. I'm looking for apartments and lofts right now in the Denver area.
- Unfortunately, most all of the converted factories and warehouses are obscenely expensive to rent.
- There is a movement to provide affordable housing in converted spaces for artists of all kinds beneath certain income limits, but this is brand new to Colorado.
- Exposed brick and stone and concrete is very much in vogue right now, so you pay a big premium for this style.
- Some higher end apartments, though modern, are massively built for sound isolation, but they can be pricey too.
I think it's a shame that the places that would be perfect for us musicians and producers for noise isolation are really popular with everyone else (and therefore expensive) for cosmetic reasons. But what can you do?
Anything without shared walls would be a step up. Maybe renting a cheap house, or renting a mobile home?
