Whats the pro and cons in comparing high and low density condo?

Thanks

low density pros - less people, less congested, better security, more spacious feel

Plot ratio is lower for low density condos

Isn't there is any pro point for high density condo???

Agreed, those are the benefit/advantages of low density condo, but the side-effect is Higher maintenance fees

Advantage of high density condo? Usually translates to lower maintenance fees as the costs of maintaining the facilities (like swimming pool, security, etc.) can be shared among a greater number of people.

For low density condo, well, if there is a problem in collecting maintenance fees, there is a greater risk of not being able to cover the cost of maintenance.

high density condo= more people,more crowd,
ow density condo= less people,less noise,some time feel scared...

yes for a high density condo you are paying less maintenance. but if you are planning on using the facilities, then you also have to bear with the crowd.

Got.
Selling price cheaper.

scorgio - thats true

Low density condo normally can sell higher price due demand from buyer..

in high dense condo, where number of units per floor is higher, matched with more floors per block, daily struggle waiting for the lift to arrive especially during peak hours is definitely a ritual.

High density condo = more occupants = higher number of uncivic minded people in the flock = higher risks the lift/common facilities to be abused.

^ above basically "cancels" out the benefit of having lower maintenance fee compared to lower density dwellings. the excess $$$ collected would probably be spent more on patching up "faults" here and there.

@alanyuppie,
It depends actually. If the prices are maintained at a level where only the 'educated, rich' socialites & folks can accept, chances of having uncivic minded people in the building is much less

Generally speaking, if all things being equal, most people would prefer a low density condo over a high density one.

Anyone thinks otherwise?

@finn@renoku,
That's usually the case *smiles* I know I would prefer low density to high density

tinkerbel, same here.

Someone mentioned that one of the cons for low density is that it can be... scary???

Heh, now that is interesting.

@finn@renoku,
I think he just likes to haf lots of people around him *shrugs* I think it gets scarier when there are just too many people *grins*

i went to check out savanah at seri maya, and if i am not mistaken, the agent told me that there are more than 10 units per floor. shocking. so far whatever i have bought does not exceed 6 units per floor. at least the privacy is there. you won't have so many strange people walking around.

low density pay more maitenance fees. sadness

High density = parking problem
