What are the advantages and disadvantages between staying in the low, middle and high floors? And what should be taken into consideration for the surrounding environment?

Let’s say based on standard 12-15 floors HDB.

Which would be ideal for (based on my priority ranking):

  • Low noise level/privacy
  • Less dusty
  • Bright natural light

Any other factors to consider?

Also, understand that neighbours make a difference to the noise and cleanliness of common spaces.

Frankly, if you're able to, take the time to visit the different apartments at different times of the day and night to compare.

Nowadays, some HDB areas have pavilions for social gatherings, but these pavilions cause loud echos when people use them. Etc etc.

Best thing to do is to make the time to visit and take a look for yourself.
