Post needs to be revised as the new high rises nowadays are 50-60 storeys now with parking and facilities deck that eat almost 10 floors.

1) Noise from facilities. This one depends on personal preference, some people like living near "lively" area.

2) Wet floors in lift lobby from people going in/out of pool. This is a risk you need to be careful of if you are/your family have OKU and/or senior citizen, because of increased risk of falls.

3) If the property has a lot of Airbnb units, #1 and #2 becomes an even bigger potential problem, because short-term tenants/guests rarely are considerate or caring about facilities as much as own-stay residents. Be warned that "high class"/expensive condo doesn't mean guests will be considerate, ya. High-net-worth guests can be @$$holes too 😅

middle floor

I would choose the middle floor (preferably level 18 lol). Just nice to have a good view, yet not too low to hear all the noises from the swimming pool / playground

Noise is for me tolarable abit because new development i find the insulation is quite good. but the problem will be dirt.

Your level will collect all the dirts that will be thrown out by the above units especially cigarette buds. If you are 'lucky', you probably get 1 or 2 underwear a month. I'm talking on my previous condo experience, the pool units all have bigger balcony. But sadly all their balcony are dirty because of the above units. And this is only a 23 floor condo.

Imagine a 30-40 levels condo. Sure max kaw dirty kena. You wont be able to control everyone.

Cigarette butts aren’t all that bad. I kena used sanitary pad before. I’m like wtf 🤮.

Avoid two floors below and above break tank or M&E floor to be safe

Thanks for your advise sir

i thought condo mindset is much better. so, its just the same la. just hoping that management will do better to manage the cleanliness at the condo.

Welcome to Malaysia

1-3 floors above your carpark level. Can walk stairs if lazy wait lift or lift unavailable.

But this only works if your carpark is on higher floor
since most carparks are like 5-10 floors. So if your carpark 4th floor then 7-8 floor unit is nice.

Lol please dont. The 3 floor from the bottom is the worst. If the building wasnt well maintained by the jmb, no regular pipe cleaning, the pipes will clog and guess who's going to be affected? YOU!

This happen even to a 700k condo before, i wont mention the project later developer will sue me but dyor.

Stay away from the top 3 and bottom 3.

Interesting... you mean to say avoid the 3 floors above the carparks? Why got piping issue? What will happen to the piping?

Central piping for waste = wastewater is dirtiest at lower floors, higher chance of clogging.

But the carpark itself is multi storey. There are 5 carpark floors. Also kena?

Yes, especially if quite high building (>20 floors), the lowest 10 floors have the risk, don't underestimate the pressure of so many occupied units from higher floor on wastewater pipes.

Toilet sewage pipes and carpark pipes dont share bro.

If clog at carpark, probably your balcony will be affected.

But clog sewage, hailat your house. The system usually shares alternate levels or sthg.
