It may depends on the actual views they have. Perhaps the west view is blocked. Can't say. However, I would prefer an unobstructed west-view over an unobstructed east view any day.
Hi,
Is there anything wrong with apartments on top floor and close to elevator? Will there be too much noise? Which are the "bad" floors/positions for apartments?
in new pre-sale condos, is this true?
for the exact same unit/layout, one that faces EAST vs one that faces WEST, the EAST facing unit will be 'slightly' more expensive? ... that's the impression I got from looking at various new projects, what would be the reason?
A note about view/exposure. I find that west is best. Floods of light after noon and of course sunsets. If you're really close to the lake, west is better than south in many cases. The lake offers nothing in terms of view at night, unless you enjoy looking at vast area of darkness. However, west views could offer you a half-view of the lake (since the lake sort of curves a bit), as well as a nice half-view of the city at night.
For those who know something about how condo's are built can you give me feedback/opinion
My cousin is interested in moving in a new condo unit above retail that is adjacent to the big party room. Good thing is you can't enter the party room using the same hallway he would enter to the potential unit. But still you have to wonder how thick or sound proof the party room walls are between the hallway and unit walls. The other unit he has an option to moving in is on the same side of the floor but not directly adjacent to the party room and the view is not as good .
He rather take the room adjacent to the party room because of the slight view advantage. (he thinks resale value later could be better)
thoughts?
