Is it worth buying an apartment on the first floor - an expert's opinion
The head of the real estate agency CDN Anatoly Pysin named the pros and cons of living in an apartment on the first floor, which are better to know before buying such a house, reports the NEWSDATA.RU news agency.
One of the most important and significant advantages when choosing a ground floor apartment is the price. These apartments are often 5-15% cheaper than other apartments. So if the buyer's budget is limited, this will be a good option.
Such apartments will be an ideal choice for city dwellers suffering from claustrophobia, as well as those who are afraid of heights or elevators. In addition, experts note that elderly people who lead a sedentary lifestyle also prefer to live on the first floor.
Speaking of disadvantages, there may be no disadvantages, because it depends on your house and the area. A basement without clutter can be problematic. If it is not in good condition, unpleasant odors can spread to the first floor. The second unpleasant factor is low windows. There are houses on the first floor, where everything is visible from the windows. Therefore, everything that happens in your apartment, you can see through the window from the street.
