Home buying tips: Which apartment floor is the best choice?
Owning a home is a calculated decision. Customers are often spoiled for choice with a plethora of options to choose. Be it in terms of the developers, size, amenities, prices, or even layouts. Apart from all these factors and considerations like budget, and locality, there’s one dilemma that’s left overlooked. And that’s choosing the right floor!
This article specifically talks about the different floor levels – top, middle, low, and will help you decide which floor is best for you.
But before we delve deeper, let’s understand that there is no right or wrong answer to this. Apartment floor choice entirely depends on your personal preferences. While some opt for the idea of city views, others prefer easy accessibility and functionalities.
Is the view from your home a top priority? If yes, the higher floors are your ideal choice. They’ll offer beautiful views to enjoy from your balcony, and bring along plenty of natural light & ventilation. Plus, top floor apartments are less prone to theft as well as pest attack. You’ll be above all the unwanted noise, dust and pollution. And while the electricity bills in winters will be low, they’ll might shoot up in summers due to usage of AC & refrigerators on a frequent basis. Other flip sides of living on the top floor apartments include that shifting is quite a task and when natural calamity strikes, it can be frightening to use the stairs instead of a lift.
Top floors are not recommended for families with elderly and those with a tight budget, as apartments in the higher floors are more with the floor rise premium.
Should I opt for the lower floor apartments then?
Apart from families who live with their elderly family members or have experienced other challenges, lower floors are also the top choice of people who simply prefer living close to the ground. The biggest perks of lower floor apartments are accessibility (to stairs and deliveries), cooler temperature, pet-friendly (easier access).
These homes are usually cooler than top floor apartments and this is quite helpful in reducing electricity bills. Living close to the ground gives easy accessibility to common amenities like parks, swimming pools, and clubhouses. However, living on a lower floor is prone to pests as well as burglary. These apartments are closer to the streets and the traffic noise can be irritating. There might be lesser access to natural light and air as well as concerns with privacy.
Are middle floors the best bet?
Yes! They offer a mix of the best of accessibility and views. You aren’t too far from the ground, yet have a better outside view from the balcony than those on the lower floors. Considering all the ups and downs, choosing the middle ground (pun, intended again) might be your best choice.
