What Are The Advantages of Living on a High Floor of an Apartment?

– The higher you go, the probability of being affected by “poison arrow”/negative energy is minimized.

– You can enjoy the unobstructed cooling wind and unblocked view.

– If you live at a higher level, you are less affected by noise from the surroundings, such as people talking at void decks and shared spaces, basketball courts, etc.

– Your house usually is brighter because you have access to the natural sunlight that is good for the household.

– Lower chance of meeting creepy insects like cockroaches and lizards.

– You will enjoy more privacy compared to living on a low floor.

What Are The Disadvantages of Staying in a High Floor of an Apartment?

– Since there is no blockage, it also means that you are directly exposed to the trapping heat of the sunlight, especially if you are living in a west-facing flat

– The unobstructed wind brings in the dust, so the higher floor is dustier. It is also not good to stay in a unit that has gushing wind that causes the door to slam every day.

– Units at a higher level can be more pricey.

What Are the Pros of Living in a Lower Floor?

Some people believe that the lower your unit is, the closer you are to the ‘地气’ (representing the energy from the ground). This energy is beneficial to the health of the household members that are staying in the flat.

So, do not purchase a house lower than the ground level and the road higher. It has a negative impact, similar to living in a basement.

What Are the Cons of Living in a Lower Floor?

– It increases your chance of inviting the household pest into your house

– Noise pollution (people talking or playing) can be an issue too

– Look out for enormous trees that are too near or even touching your windows, as they can attract insects or pests visitors.

– Bright lighting from the lamppost can also affect the household

Besides the above Feng Shui tips for an apartment, the cost also plays the most crucial role. As the level goes higher, the price will relatively go up too.

Depending on the area you plan to stay in, the difference between one level can add up to an extra free thousand dollars. So, in conclusion, it still depends on individual preference, and you must love where you stay.
