Buying a new house can be overwhelming. Apart from being one of biggest financial milestones, it comes with its set of expectations. Property builders and real estate projects capitalize on expectations like apartment in a prime location, overlooking a panoramic view of the city, ease of access etc.
A noteworthy trend in the real estate market is rising prices of apartments on higher floors. Let’s look at some reasons why this trend never ceases to exist.
- Security
This is one of the major concerns when living in apartments. Higher floors are typically less susceptible to crimes and burglary as it gets harder to access the apartment. Moreover, the distance from the entrance and exit of the building give apartments on higher floors an added advantage to sound an alarm or alert security personnel to take action. Residential projects in Pune like Mittal have gated residential complexes with professional security guards that are vigilant 24/7. - Less Traffic Noise
Your dream abode does not feel like one if it is filled with noises of traffic and street vendors yelling at top of their voices. It can be very difficult to find peace amidst such chaos. Higher floors do not face such issues, which makes them more favorable and costlier when compared with apartments on lower floors. - Privacy
This is one of the highest priorities when looking to buy a dream home. Living in lower-level apartments means people may constantly pass by your apartment to reach the lobby, elevator etc. Top or higher floors give complete privacy and a peaceful lifestyle. No one, except neighbors and delivery personnel will have any business on your floor, thereby giving you more privacy. - Panoramic Views
This can be the top priority or a desirable factor for many homebuyers. Many residential projects in Pune capitalize on this aspect. However, the view largely depends on the locality. For instance, it is not advisable to consider apartment on higher floors if it overlooks barren land or land riddled with hillocks of gravel, construction material, and under construction residential projects. The rate of most apartments in cities like Pune are decided by this factor as the city is also known for both, green pastures, and beautiful skylines. - Better Ventilation
This is yet another important aspect when looking for apartments. Good ventilation might be easily attainable in independent houses. However, it becomes challenging in buildings. In such cases, apartment on the higher floors, especially top floors are more preferable. This is because higher floors’ ventilation is not obstructed by adjacent buildings. This makes them airier, preferable, and hence, costlier than apartments on lower floors. - Abundant Natural Light
Exposure to natural light is abundant on higher floors, which makes it one of the most attractive and desirable features. Unobstructed views offer unobstructed light. This gives a pleasant change from spending your valuable money on artificial lighting. Natural light can also be great for uplifting your mood and spirits. The warm sunlight also helps keep the house warm during winters.
