One may expect that there is a straight answer to this question. However, the truth is that there is none. The best floor depends on many factors and varies from person to person. These factors include if perhaps one has little school going kids. In this case, it will not be preferable that one rents or buys top floor apartment. If living with a friend or a family member who is elderly or suffers from a certain health condition the bottom floor would be the best choice. To help make the best choice of whether to live in the top, middle of bottom floor apartment, here are a few pros and cons of each floor.

To begin with, top floor apartments have a number of advantages. With a top floor one is assured of ample sunlight supply to the apartment. Further, If peace and quiet space is top priority, top floor must be the first choice. This is because in top floor, there is less noise from car traffic, where say the apartments are close to the highway. There is also less noise from foot traffic ,that is, people moving up and down the stairs. Moreover, with top floors they can enjoy a better scenic view of the surroundings. Top floors will also offer more privacy, and if one is a cigarette smoker, they can do so without causing nuisance to the neighbors because smoke goes upwards, and there is no one living above them.

As much as there are pros, Top floor apartments have their cons. One is that top floors are susceptible to weather extremes. They get too cold during winter and heat up too much during summer. During winter, electricity bills will spike as one attempts to heat up the apartment. It is also an uphill task moving rubbish and junk out of the apartment or when moving items out of the house when relocating to another location. The thought of moving furniture for instance is really daunting.

The middle floor on the other hand is suitable for a number of reasons. It offers the best of the top floor and the bottom floors. In the winter, for instance, a middle floor will be easily heated up because of the heat coming from above and below. In addition, with middle floors one has to contend with fewer stairs as compared to living in top floors. At the same time, middle floor offers enough stairs to walk through for fitness. The cons of the middle floor are exactly that, one may just find yourself in the middle of noisy and generally nuisance neighbors. It is also tougher to move groceries to the middle floor apartment as compared to first floor.

Finally, if one chooses the bottom floor, they enjoy the advantage of ease of accessibility to the apartment. One does not have to contend with walking up and down stairs. It is also the most suitable floor when moving items in and out of the house. Further, bottom floor apartments are more close to green gardens ( if there are any) than other floors. One may therefore be able to enjoy their coffee in the morning in such gardens. The cons are that the bottom floor is undoubtedly favorable for pests and dirt. Further, if the apartments allow pets, the bottom floor is pet's favorite floor. If scared of huge dogs therefore, bottom floor apartments should not be the first choice as one may just find neighbors with mad love for huge dogs. There is less privacy too ;every neighbor is likely to know when one is hosting friends. In addition bottom floor apartments are more likely to have water pipe bursts due to the higher water pressure.
