I lived on the first floor for 4 years, and with infinite longing for the top floor, I sold the house on the first floor and replaced it with the top floor.
I have to say, the top floor is really good, I feel that my heart has opened up a lot, so happy!
I remembered that when I bought a house, I didn't have to choose, there was only one floor left, and I wanted to move in in a hurry, so I started ruthlessly, in third-tier cities, I spent 2.8 million to buy a house, and I lived in it for 4 years, and I really want to complain to you about some shortcomings.
At that time, I was full of interest and decorated, thinking that this floor would have a small yard, and when the time came, I could raise flowers and grass, and I could also grow some vegetables, and my life was pleasant.
But after half a year of moving in, I regretted it, living on the first floor, it was really too pitiful.
Disadvantages of living on the ground floor
(1) The first floor is too noisy
I am freelance, usually spend a lot of time at home, and like to sleep lazy, every day I want to sleep until I wake up naturally, but very early in the morning, the noise outside the window, the sound of children playing, adults chatting, running, the sound of the car, and the sound of the opening and closing of the unit door, it is really annoying, I can't sleep at all.
(2) The rectification of the yard on the first floor was complained
I wanted to renovate the green space of the small yard, but before I could dig a few shovels, the property contacted me and said that my neighbors had complained.
The idyllic life described to me by the sales lady when I bought the house is now flickering at a glance, and the yard can often pick up clothes and sundries that fall from the upper floors, and it is sad to look at.
(3) The lighting on the first floor is not good, and there are many mosquitoes
When the weather is cool, it is cold and damp, the lighting is poor, the house is dark, and the lights must be turned on in broad daylight.
When it is hot, mosquitoes, insects, snakes and rats come out to move, and the doors and windows are not closed tightly, so they run into the house, and if they sit in the yard, they can be bitten by mosquitoes out of a hundred and ten bags.
Live on the ground floor shared by the owners
I have also seen on the Internet that there are many owners who have bought a house on the first floor, and they all regret it, let's take a look at what they say.
Netizen @ Don't eat fatty meat:
I bought a garden house on the first floor, the entrance is a huge lawn, at that time the sales said that you can change the small yard, and now the property also says, as long as the neighbors don't complain about them, they don't care.
However, the neighbors will be red-eyed, as soon as they get something, the neighbors will complain, the main first floor is more expensive than the upstairs hundreds of thousands, this large lawn, can only open a door to go out to dry clothes, really angry.
Netizen @张三crazy:
My house is a ladder and two households, with a total height of 9 floors, and each family has to stand at the door of your house when waiting for the elevator, and occasionally open the door to see the neighbors who are chatting, you can imagine no, embarrassing.
I never dare to sleep without drawing the curtains, nor dare I dare to be naked at home, because there are often people in front of the window, and if you don't pull the curtains, you can see your home clearly.
The privacy is not good, the noise is loud, and there are too many mosquitoes, spiders, and unknown cuties in summer.
Moreover, the first floor is really cold in winter, I don't know if it's because of the lighting problem, or it's too close to the ground, it's much colder than upstairs, and there are high-altitude throwing objects that are also annoying, and people often throw cigarette butts down, and underwear, socks and clothes fall into the yard.
Netizen @刘一山's small yard:
I bought the first floor of the old community, stayed for 3 months, and regretted buying the first floor every cloudy day, and the lighting was particularly special and not good.
When decorating, the window was made bigger, the improvement was not too obvious, the winter was humid, the rainy day was moldy, there was a musty smell in the air, there were a lot of wild cats in the old community, there were cats barking at night, the sound was very miserable, the penetration was very strong, and it was very infiltrating.
There are many mosquitoes, even mice, and dust, and the yard is your own, and you can raise flowers and grass, but there are too many big trees in the community, and the leaves fall in the yard at any time, and you need to clean it frequently.
So many people say that they regret buying the first floor, and I feel the same way, so I lived on the first floor for 4 years, and I changed the house to the top floor.
Pros of staying on the top floor
(1) Good view from the top floor
Living on the top floor, standing high and seeing far away, our house has a total of 33 floors, with an unparalleled view, city view, mountain view, all of which can be seen at a glance.
This kind of open vision makes people naturally relax and feel happy.
(2) There is a terrace on the top floor
The terrace on the top floor does not have to worry about complaints from neighbors, and it can be renovated as much as I want, it is completely my private space, and I can enjoy a good time here alone.
The terrace is furnished, watching the sunrise in the morning, watching the starry sky and the moon at night, away from the hustle and bustle of the ground, this is the perfect leisure place for the whole family.
Sometimes family gatherings, friends gatherings, etc., it is really refreshing to have a small barbecue party on the terrace and invite friends to enjoy the food and the scenery together.
(3) The top floor has good ventilation and lighting
Many people think that living on the top floor is hot, but in fact, the ventilation advantage of the top floor is more obvious, and good ventilation can reduce the indoor temperature, and there is no need to worry about dampness and mold growth.
Besides, who doesn't need to turn on the air conditioner in summer, take a cool ride on the terrace at night, turn on the air conditioner late at night, and sleep soundly.
Not to mention the lighting, there is not a single dark corner in the home, and the whole space is transparent and bright.
(4) The top floor is super quiet
I used to live on the first floor and couldn't sleep, after moving to the top floor, there was no other sound at all, I slept very steadily, 4 years, I feel that this is a good sleep, as long as people sleep well, their mental state is very full, and people are young.
In the same way, there are many friends who have bought the top floor, and they feel similar to me, and they also think that the top floor is really fragrant.
Live on the top floor shared by the owners
Netizen @ Pentium's little pills:
Those who have not lived on the top floor will pick a bunch of faults, only those who have lived on the top floor know that the top floor is really good, basking in the sun in winter on the terrace, enjoying the cool at night, it is simply not too comfortable.
Like the top floor leakage problem that many people are worried about, in fact, the top floor waterproofing of the current house is handled very well, and then it is not good to do the waterproofing again at your own expense when you decorate. If you are worried about the heat, you have made a thermal insulation layer and ventilated the top floor, and it will be about 1° higher than other floors in summer, which is actually fine.
Netizen @ Early Summer's Daily:
I think there are no neighbors on the top floor, so I kill all floors in seconds, and there is a risk of water leakage on each floor, and I used to buy a house on the fourth floor, and the upstairs bathroom often leaks, which makes people very annoying to live.
Living on the top floor, there is really no imagination of the winter cold and summer hot, the summer is very windy, the air conditioning is rarely turned on, the winter light is long, the house is full of sunshine, sitting in the living room sofa can bask in the sun, the developer also sent a platform, it is simply too cost-effective, now experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter, I feel that the top floor is very comfortable.
If it were you, would you buy the first floor or the top floor?
