A Condo Unit Close to the Skies or the Ground?

Do you enjoy the majestic view from the top floors of Vancouver’s condos? Do you find condos closer to the ground more convenient for your kids and daily baggage?

There’s no concrete answer as to whether ground or top-floor condo units are better. In the end, they’re just like your average living space, just situated multiple floors away from one another. Upon closer look, however, both ground and top-floor units offer practical advantages you can consider when you’re in the market for a condo unit.

Condo units closer to the ground enjoy the benefit of easy access. If you often carry heavy bags, it won’t take you as long to get home to your ground-floor unit than a top-floor one. In addition, you’re generally safer in a fire because you can reach the ground more quickly and escape the building. Ground-floor units are also good if you have kids; they may get tired even in the elevator ride.

Top-floor units have their own pros. A day in Vancouver can get really noisy, but people living on top-floor units will barely hear the sounds of progress. Add the fact that dust is less likely to settle on top-floor units and you have a clean, low-maintenance unit at your disposal. There are also instances when people living closer to the skies can predict the weather more accurately.
