A condo near kuchai with the level 12 (car park level 6) and 21(car park level 4) . The podium started at level 8 with 2 to 6 storey for the car park. Which one do you choose? And why?

If high density then it will get annoying travelling up and down from the lift cause the higher your floor is, the more stops there would be to reach your destination.

Level 12 to Car park 6 would be a shorter distance than Level 21 to Cark Park 4.


Top floor exposes to the sun more and generally higher in temperature. If you on aircond 24/7 then no problem cause otherwise it will be much hotter compared to lower floor. It is actually a benefit for countries with 4 seasons because higher floor during winter will reduce heating cost but since Malaysia only has 1 season which is hot and humid everyday, then lower floor would be a better choice if you don't want to ramp up your aircond.

Bear in mind 12 floor is by no means "Lower Floor". It is normally a sweet spot I would say cause it is high enough to avoid all street noises and pests + a view that is wide enough but not too tall that you only see ants moving around while at the same time low enough to avoid too much heat and sunlight (especially when you live in building close to 30 floors (the 13-30 floors will shield you from the heat icon_rolleyes.gif )

Many people have different view on the heat issue, my mom even said the wall absorb heat during the day and sunset then release heat during night time :x

The heat actually don't come from the floor, ceiling or wall, it is actually from the window and whichever place that allows air, I tinted the window and now solved most of the heat issues already since my balcony is facing west and during sunset my living room get really hot

That is even worse then... at night would be too hot to sleep sweat.gif

Sometimes we have to consider many factors. ESPECIALLY on which country you are living in.

We live in Malaysia whereby it is hot all day everyday. If you live in UK/US etc. their nights gets quite cold even during summer.

If you read up research on lower floor vs higher floor. Most of the cons they point out for lower floor doesn't seem relevant because they are referring it to ground floor/1st/2nd floors.
