Mid is best. Too high more risky, too low too trashy

Medium-high floors (around 60 - 75% of the way up) is the best

The things I really miss about my condo. I was 1 floor below the penthouse. The wind was amazing; though sometimes scary. The view was always nice and calming. During fireworks, can see so many in different areas of the house.
If the condo is reasonably well maintained, then I like higher floors. I prefer my view to not be blocked. I don’t miss the lifts though. So yeah, up to individual preference, I’m sure. |

Low floor better. Cheaper. Won't shake that much when feeling earthquake. Faster to reach ground floor if building on fire.

I had highest floor condo last time. Almost 30th floor. Omfg I hated taking the lift.
Peak hour for work confirm full all the bloody time. Wanna get food from foodpanda or parcel from shopee/lazada, rider will wait la 10 minutes for me to come down. Mid level is best of both worlds. Don't trouble yourself for high level unless you are retiree or WFH all day. |

all floor has pro and cons. view from higher floor is amazing, depends what you want and your wallet. |

If facing swimming pool not too high lah...maybe max 3 storey above pool for best view.
But if kids play more than amois then goodluck buy earplug. If not facing pool get higher floor but not top floor coz if roof leaking bye bye furnitures. Can claim condo insurance iinm but hassle clean house. But can change new furniture foc |

low or high semua boleh, yet, still depends on jmb + condo management. ini sebab if lift rosak, or no electricity backup, kena naik tangga.
anyway, high floor bila angin kuat, kena jaga the sliding door. silap2, sliding door can dent slightly after many times kena blow. best if open a small gap to let angin go thru. This post has been edited by burn22: Apr 23 2024, 02:27 AM |

Higher floors, the views for obvious reason, and also based on schedule of progressive payments, your bank loan will only release payments when super structure, walls etc are completed, so apart from the 10% upon signing S&P and the Sub Structure stage, your payments will be much latter than the lower units..
