Owning a home these days has become more like shopping and as customers, we are offered a plethora of options to choose from. Be it for options in terms of developers, amenities, prices, or space layouts… you name it and there’s an option for it. To some extent, this looks pretty good, but when the customers are spoilt for choices, they tend to choose the wrong ones in a hurry to make a decision. Trying to save themselves from the regret of indecision, they end up making wrong decisions and that’s where we step in – not to add more stress to their confusion, but to clear some air and simply provide information. It’s not always about blowing our own trumpets, but as thought leaders, we’d love to talk about the options that are made available to customers related to our line of work. This article would specifically talk about the floors – top, middle, low, which ones to choose and why.
Thinking to start from the top?
If you are planning to own an apartment on the top floor, get ready to embrace the good, bad, and ugly side of it all. Talking about the pros of living in a top floor apartment, here’s what you can expect:
- First and foremost, the view from the balcony is impeccable
- Owning a top floor apartment is less prone to theft as well as pest attack
- You are above all that unwanted noise pollution
- On account of hot air rising concept, the heating costs (electricity bill) in winters are low
- Living in a top floor apartment allows for better sunlight and lower dust pollution
Perhaps, the challenges or the flipside of living on the top floor apartment are quite relevant too:
- Shifting with all that furniture, luggage is quite a task
- The electricity bills in summers shoot up due to usage of AC & refrigerators on a frequent basis
- When natural calamity strikes, it is indeed frightening to use stairs instead of a lift
- Top floors are not that well-suited for families with elderly
Better to choose the lower floor apartments then?
There are some who are aware of the pros and cons of choosing a top floor and try to avoid living there as much as possible. Probably, they must be the ones who live with their elderly family members or have experienced the challenges earlier. They might also be people who simply prefer living close to the ground rather than in the air. Well, here are some of the good things that they get to enjoy while living in a lower floor apartment:
- Lower floor apartments 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 parks, swimming pools, and clubhouses
- Shifting won’t be a problem if you are living in the lower floor apartment
It doesn’t mean that living on a lower floor is free from problems or dangers. Here’s what you can expect:
- Lower floor apartments are prone to pests as well as burglary
- If the apartment is close to the streets, the noise level can indeed be irritating
- You don’t get that much of privacy and you end up spending more to cover all the windows with shades or curtains
- There might be lesser access to natural light and ventilation
Overall, considering all the ups and downs (pun, intended), one can choose the middle ground (pun, intended again) and the pricing of the apartments is done likewise. So, if you’re choosing a top-floor apartment or the lower-floor apartment, keep an eye on the varying cost of the apartment. That’s because of these factors they are priced in that manner.
