Whether you are purchasing a condominium unit for your own stay or investment purpose, choosing the best floor that suits that purpose is equally important as it will affect your property purchase budget, investment plan or living experience. We will walk you through the factors to consider when choosing a unit floor, and how to choose the most appropriate floor based on your needs and preferences.
Factor #1: View
If you are fancy for breathtaking views, then you should consider getting a unit on one of the upper floors. Although it would be more expensive, it can enhance the resale value of a condo, especially if it is in a good neighborhood. The parking lots allocated for units in higher floors are usually lower and vice versa, making it easier for you to park your car.
Factor #2: Noise
If you value peace and like to live in a calm environment, consider buying a condo on a higher floor. This is because you may hear more traffic and street noise on the lower levels.
Factor #3: Access
If view is not your priority, and you have good noise tolerance with a plan to stay in the long term without reselling in the future, plus you do not have the patience to wait for the lift, then buying a unit in the lower floors is an ideal choice. However, if the condo has many floors of car park, you should opt for middle floors unless you don't mind the hassle when driving out from the condo.
Overall, if you have no budget constraint and are planning for long term stay or capital value investment, you may consider getting a unit on the upper floors. On the other hand, if you are looking to expand your rental property portfolio, a unit in the middle floor may be more suitable. Last but not least, if the condo is in a central location with good accessibility and developer reputation, lower floors may be more suitable if you have thoroughly considered all the above-mentioned factors.
