    Default Disadvantages of patio units

    I don't own a patio unit but reading from reports in newspapers now and then, it seems that littering from high floor units is a common problem. Unless, of course, you have very considerate neighbours in the same block.

    Still prefers landed than owning a condo with patio. No issue like those mentioned above. Almost bought a 4-bedroom with patio at Minton during VVIP preview.

    While patio can have roof, what about balconies? Some condos are unique in the sense that every unit is somewhat different when it comes to balcony design. Some have in living room while other units of the same stack have in master bedroom therefore there can be units above which can throw things into the lower unit's balcony. Can build canopy? Wouldn't that destroy the outlook of the building... Any suggestions?

    Simple solution. Buy the whole stack. Then don't have to worry act dumping , chopper, school boy , condoms etc fall on ur patio.

    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

    For me, personally I take ground floor is for the extra patio area for my boys to play around. Also, read about kids falling off from high floor due to unlocked window grilles, etc etc... Thus, I think I am abit Kia-si and decided on ground floor lor....

    Cos thinking if high floor, then have to do window grilles and it looks yucky with the grilles up....hehe

    As the police always say, 'low crime doesn't mean no crime'. All it takes is just one incident and you might have the rest of your life to regret it...
