Criteria for choosing ground floor :
1. it must be a low rise block, say 4 storey
2. with trellis, or ledge cover
3. with green and water features in front.
4. not too near to the opp units
5. not in the access path, ie walking path
6. preferably corner units, exclusively corner
7. reasonable good size
8. with power points and water tap
9. not near to children playground or BBQ etc

Some ground floor units at Luxurie even come with pte swimming pool!

Private swimming pool: sounds good but does it mean the owner has to maintain it? No joke to maintain a pool. My sister, who lives in Melbourne, has a pool in her backyard. When I visited her last December, the pump was down and the water had turned a mouldy green. Fortunately, the weather there is cool so there is no putrid smell. I can't imagine this happening in our humid weather.

Sometimes, a lot of 'extras' look nice in theory but don't forget about the maintenance.

I don't advise getting those. As mentioned by others, maintenance is a headache. And when it gets older, it can leak....jialat.....it is not worth the expense and trouble.

As my family don't have the habit of sleeping in aircon, thus we will likely have to install grilles and blinds. Lock the grilles and draw the blinds when we sleep lor.

Think it should be quite safe with grilles installed.

If goodlooking, better not buy ground floor. If ugly, celebrate! Anyway, regardless, always get ready baseball bat to rape the rapist back. Landed owners have same problem need to get ready self defense weapon...

Just pray you dont have smoker neighbours above, and even if so, that they dont anyhow litter or flick their ashes.... I ever kena 'visit' from downstairs neighbour during windy season. So malu.... But I understand can be fire hazard so I agree to sit in planter to smoke and not stand... Actually this problem part of apartment living. Thats why some bro here say get those low rise development greatly minimise chance of 'strike toto' is so true...

Ya I am very 'reality' thats why I dont keep anything valuable at home. Nothing movable that cost over 2k add up in total.... Don tell me you keep wads of cash and gold bars at home?

Go bark up another tree la if you have zero sense of humor and only know how to launch personal attacks.

Sometimes instead of looking at the external risks we may do well to pay more attention to internal ones...

I cannot understand how a top executive of P&G handling millions of dollars in transactions daily can be so mindless as to have the PIN number in the holder of the ATM card.

Too rich, I suppose.

Ya lor.. It sure will look yucky but got no choice mah.
I can't be opening the door and sleep... Feels so unsafe if does that.

Guess I.m left with no other options.

Actually even in mid floors may also get cigarette litters, esp. if there is a sizeable balcony.

My friend who stays on the 8th floor in Sea View, was airing his leather jacket in his balcony after back from winter holiday. the next day he found a big cigarette burn mark on his jacket!

Apparently the cig was thrown down by this korean FT tenant who lives 4 stories above him. Initially the korean FT refuse to admit until my friend show him the cig brand ESSE (korean brand) and threaten to engage his lawyer to sue him. The kimchi scared and apologized profusely.

Hahahah got so 'chun' one meh? Hahahha! But one thing for sure, PH units being on the topmost floor are usually hotter than the middle units coz of the direct sun baking on the roof.
