  • Apartment floor preference

    If you had to choose an apartment in an apartment building what floor would you prefer?

    First, last, 2nd to 5th, 6th to 9th+?

        High ceilings and concrete floor means I get no disturbance from the floor above. Also, beware low water pressure on the top floor. Living as I do in the crypt, I get fantastic water pressure. Power showers

          The upper-middle floors are the best. Not too hot in the summer, not too cold in the winter, no insects, you get a little sun if your apartment faces South, etc.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            Normally 1st floor but if it is in a high traffic area where I would hear lots of street noise 3rd or 4th would be better. If there is some sort of compelling geographic reason, like a view of the ocean or something, then obviously I'd go with as high as necessary to get the view.

              1st, due to fire concerns. On the end. "Down and out".

                For some reason top floors are not considered to be attractive here in Bulgaria.

                I personally think like DanS although as long as there is good insulation on the roof top floor is very attractive for me for the reasons already mentioned bu Loin and Super49er.

                  2nd floor. Close to the ground but high enough to keep unauthorized entries to a minimum.

                      Top floor for me - I can escape the street noise and steal everyone else's heat

                        My preference is definitely to have a floor.

                          Unauthorized entry isn't a concern. I have attack cats for when I'm gone and a Mossberg Persuader for when I'm home.
                          I live in a 2 story condo. I catch my own heat from downstairs and have 2 thermostats that control it just fine.

                            You live in a flat in Texas? I thought that was against the law there and that you have to live in a ranch

                              Ground, 1st or top. Ground floor apartments get gardens, 1st floor ones minimize the need to use the stairs of lift while making burglary less of an issue, and top floor ones get the best view. Anything in between seems like effort for little reward.

                              But the heat escapes much more easily, as what's on top of you is cold, rather than another warm flat.
