No ground floor owners here ah?
Wanna ask whether does anyone did any wood flooring for the patio area and also the maintenance on that.
Hope to hear some advise here.
Visited one ground unit and found that the owner kept the windows closed where areas could be assessed from the outside. Owner did not have grilles. Heard of couple of break-ins in private condo for ground floor units. Security may be an issue.
wow.... that's scary.Originally Posted by Leeds
Ya, we heard of it before... thats why thinking whether we should install grilles.
Just, is urs directly behind the water feature? that's beautiful! u save lots of $$ on getting a water feature in the balconyOriginally Posted by Just
The one I visited had water feature infront. It was nice but the moment I opened the window, the smell of chlorine put me off. The water feature was also not well maintained. MCST may not want to spend too much money to maintain the water feature and the ground floor unit owners (with water features) will suffer.Originally Posted by price

Yes, it's direct. Ya, good deal for my unit.Originally Posted by price
Wow, wellness of sound everyday 24/7Originally Posted by Just
Ya, we were also worried on this problem, but as this water feature is the eco-pond. So we are not so worried.Originally Posted by Leeds
If it's just a normal water feature, then we will not consider le.

Any concern on those creepy crawlies?
Ground floor unit nice, most come with big patio and high ceiling...
but no privacy, less breeze and more things drop onto your patioOriginally Posted by GSLJ
I am rich in debts...
depending on projects and location. Ang mor like ground flr units. So rental are good.
Bad is has most of the bad attributes of landed - insects, ants, but with less heat. But additional, units above can use your patio as a trash-can.
Security issue with multiple entry points - at least 2 doors/balcony.
Good - some attributes of landed...little garden, additional back-yard to sun-dry clothes. Within unit - very likely higher ceiling height and of course, bigger strata.
Ang Mor do like ground flr esp when they have babies/young children.

Ground floor with patio- better to built a roof or trellis above.
It is for safety reason.
Many months ago, a knife dropped into one of my neighboutr's patio.
Fortunately no one was injured.
knives dropping onto the ground floor patio seems quite common?? coz my friend's ground floor unit in Carabelle also kena knife drop down but in this case it was a chopper!!!!Originally Posted by buttercarp
He managed to get approval to build a roof made of transparent fibreglass so as not to affect the overall look significantly. he thought his problem has been solved.......BUT guess his new problem now? when he looks up at the roof, he sees all the rubbish that has dropped onto his roof instead of his patio floor......rubber bands, tissue papers, etc etc......
School boy or pussy cat ok... Just please no used condoms or sanitary napkinOriginally Posted by minority
Get a low-rise ground flr - you can surely narrow down the culprit to 3-4 offenders. ...
Can return his chopper ...hehehehe

Ya, there's definitely pros & cons on ground floor unit.
I have a ground floor unit. Overlooking a mature garden, and beyond which are the landed houses around south buona vista.
Being an older condo, the balcony (which is quite large) comes with a concrete roof, so did not have the problem of rubbish falling onto the balcony (no PES). The unit appealed to the ang mohs. I changed the floor tiles of the balcony to wood-grain printed homogeneous tiles. My current German tenant puts a small dining table and 4 chairs there.
Creepy crawlies are a problem though. But it is not something which cannot be solved by proper pest control. The tenant and I co-pay for yearly pest control of $120per annum. Otherwise nothing else to worry about. Security hadn't been an issue.
