Why did someone buy a house with a yard on the first floor and regret it a few months later?

My home is on the first floor with a yard. I lived for three years and regretted it for three years. When I first moved in, I was filled with joy. Unexpectedly, one thing after another, I hung up in the intermediary for several months.

Advise those friends who want to buy a first floor with a yard, think twice before you do, and tell me my opinion, hoping to help you!

Buying a house is a major event in life. We must know how to weigh the pros and cons. Go shopping. Now a house costs hundreds of thousands, millions. It is a heavy burden for young people who have just graduated to work. Even if you can buy it, you should empty your parents' savings. Even middle-aged people with successful careers can't change rooms on impulse. Every time they buy a house, they should consider the community environment, surrounding facilities and services, children should consider going to school, and the elderly should consider hospitals and vegetable markets.

Tell me about my experience in buying a house. It's all experiences and lessons.

I graduated from college, and after working for five years, I saved some money. With the help of my parents, I just saved enough down payment for a 33-story duplex apartment. I chose the penthouse because I had no choice. At that time, I wanted to choose a school district with a larger area and a lower price. I have to live with my daughter-in-law because of financial difficulties. I didn't expect to suffer a lot when I lived in a penthouse, but I finally sold it at a reduced price.

They have an apartment with a garden on the first floor. This garden is free. You can build a sunny room or a small garden, which is very suitable for the elderly and children!

I compared the advantages and disadvantages of penthouse and first floor house. Originally, my family had a large population, my relatives often came and went, and my parents were farmers. It is not appropriate for high-rise buildings to come to town to help us take care of our children. If I live on the first floor with a yard, I can ask my parents to order food, build a gazebo, keep pets, and even have an open-air barbecue in summer. It is for these reasons that I chose this house with a yard on the first floor!

A friend said: No matter how poor you are, don't buy a house with a yard on the first floor!

Actually, this sentence is relative, not absolute. The house with yard on the first floor is very popular among some friends, but some friends don't like it. When buying this house, many people are eager to have an independent space, which is more convenient for travel and more yearning for freedom. However, there are many problems with the house with yard on the first floor. If you can solve these problems, or don't care about them, then you can make bold choices.

The following contents only represent personal views. The north and south are different, the living environment is different and the quality of residents is different. Please distinguish between friends!

Question 1: Living on the first floor is difficult to guarantee privacy.

In densely populated residential areas, the biggest problem faced by residents on the first floor is privacy. Many people will unconsciously look at the residents' homes on the first floor, intentionally or unintentionally, which always makes people feel peeked. Even in a small garden, the limited distance makes people feel that privacy is not enough. So when we moved into the first floor, we installed curtains or frosted glass paper in the living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom to do so many protective measures.

I still remember one time, when the sun was shining and there was nothing to do, I moved a chair to sunbathe in the garden. Only after half an hour, I heard the phone ringing all the time, and my daughter-in-law called to scold me. Why can't I sunbathe by myself? Later, my daughter-in-law said that I was photographed by my neighbors and sent to the owners of the community. I was denounced by the collective. Oh, what bad luck!

I quickly took a look at my mobile phone. Sure enough, the group said I had everything. Some people say that I am really bold, and I resolutely quit the owner group!

After this incident, it reminded me that even in my own small garden, there is still no guarantee of privacy. Fortunately, I am a man. If my daughter-in-law basks in the sun here, it will be in trouble. I still have to be wary of being photographed by a willing heart. There is no way. I demolished the original gazebo, planted some vegetables and laid floor tiles, which cost a lot of money!

I live on the first floor and have to draw curtains at night. My daughter-in-law checks carefully for fear of someone. I'm even more scared when I take a shower. Frosted wallpaper is very tight, and my heart is always not practical!

Question 2: Planting flowers and plants makes summer feel like an "animal world".

My home is in the north. I wonder if friends in the south have ever encountered such a problem? In summer, because some vegetables are planted in the small garden, weeds are very lush. I didn't care at all except for the grass in front of me. Vegetation is densest in August, and there are many mosquitoes. At night, mosquitoes are attached to the glass and look scary. As soon as the light is turned on in the room, many mosquitoes will fly in soon.

Sometimes when you enter the house from the outside, you will let a few mosquitoes in if you are not careful. I dare not open the door of the small garden at night for fear of attracting mosquitoes. So, I have to customize the screen window again. As long as mosquitoes come in, I can't sleep well all night!

In order to manage this small garden well, every link from ploughing, digging, ridging, sowing and weeding is completed by our family. What vegetables are there in the vegetable market? Do you have to have the strength to bear this crime? Growing vegetables in a small vegetable garden seems idyllic, but in fact it does more harm than good, wasting time and energy. We are not at home at work, so our parents can only work harder!

A friend from the south told me that living on the first floor in the south needs to face a more spectacular animal world. Rats and cockroaches can also appear, especially in rainy and humid weather. Cockroaches can often be seen in the bathroom. This insect comes out at night and pollutes food. It's terrible to think about it!

Problem 3: It's wet in rainy days, and the wall skin returns to water and becomes moldy.

The community I live in belongs to a villa, with seven floors. The facilities are good, and it is in the north. It will be a little wet in the rainy season in July and August at most, but the overall wet phenomenon is not serious. But a friend of mine in the south said that when he lived on the first floor, he faced a serious humidity problem. It rained for a week or more, and the small garden was flooded, so it was useless to grow any vegetables.

Especially in the south, if the interior decoration is in the form of scraping white, it will only peel off the wall layer by layer. If the interior decoration is in the form of sticking tiles on the wall, a layer of water drops will form on the surface, and clothes will not be dried for half a month, and the quilt will feel wet when sleeping at night!

Question 4: The first floor faces the street, and the driveway affects the normal work and rest.

My house with yard on the first floor is an apartment facing the street. Cars come and go during the day, and there will be less traffic around 7 pm. Occasionally, when I sleep late at night, I will be awakened by the sudden whistle outside. My parents are too old to stand such a fright. My room is the second bedroom farthest from the street. Even so, it is not as quiet as the countryside. Six months later, I clamored to go home!

In the morning, many people are walking, doing morning exercises and dancing in the square dance. The quality of these people is uneven. If you walk quietly, you can forget it. I'm afraid that people who play music on loudspeakers will really keep us awake!

Question 5: The indoor light is insufficient, and the decoration style is mainly bright.

In our north, it gets dark early in winter, about 5 pm, so you need to turn on the light when you come home from work. Because it is on the first floor, the lighting upstairs is not very good, so you need to turn on the light when you are cooking and resting indoors, and we have specially changed the sealed screens and curtains to protect privacy and prevent mosquito bites, which further leads to dim light!

I still remember one weekend, I planned to take a nap at noon, and I woke up in a daze and found that the indoor light was very dark. I feel gloomy when I come to the living room. It's only 3 pm when I look at my mobile phone, but it gives me a feeling that it's already night! Children and the elderly living in this light, whether cooking or doing homework, will be affected Turning on the light for a long time will waste electricity, and being unwilling to turn on the light will affect your eyesight!

Question 6: Security against theft cannot be ignored.

Whether you live on the first floor or the second floor, whether there is a small garden or not, you can't ignore the security against theft and take chances. If the residents on the first floor of the whole community have installed security window, only you have not installed it. If there is an accident, it will be too late to regret it! In particular, residents who often go out and are not at home should pay more attention to anti-theft safety!

Of course, anti-theft safety is also related to the supporting facilities of the community. The residential property is responsible for patrolling in the morning and evening, and there are more cameras. If it is an old community or along the street, the probability of being stolen will be greater. Therefore, everything is done in advance, and the crisis is intercepted in the bud!

Many people say that I don't pretend to be security window. I'm so ugly. People who live in it have no freedom at all. This matter should be looked at separately. Indeed, for the sake of beauty, no one wants to pretend to be security window, but for the sake of safety, security window is still necessary!

Question 7: In case of throwing objects at high altitude, you should pay attention to safety and clean them regularly.

Some upstairs neighbors are not of high quality and often throw things downstairs intentionally or unintentionally. Small garbage bags, mineral water bottles and large tables, chairs and benches can be used. Every year, there are news of hurtful people being thrown from high altitude. Therefore, it is very important to have a shelter when building a sunny room!

In addition, the garden on the first floor of my house is along the street. Cars come and go every day, and there is a lot of dust Especially in spring and autumn, there is little rain in the north, and dust makes the vegetation, masonry and wooden fence in the garden dirty, which needs to be cleaned regularly. In addition, if the neighbors upstairs always drop things, they should collect garbage regularly!

Some residents on the first floor like to keep some poultry in the yard, which looks very lively, but after a long time, the dirty environment and smell produced by poultry excrement will inevitably arouse the resentment of neighbors and even be complained to the property. On the one hand, it is necessary to solve neighborhood disputes, on the other hand, it is necessary to solve the environmental damage caused by domestic poultry to the park. It's really not worth it for this bite of meat. It is better to go to the vegetable market to buy ready-made ones!

The above is my experience when I lived on the first floor. At first, I was really happy. I also fantasize that I can sit under the gazebo in the yard, drink tea and look at the stars in summer. Actually, the number of times is really limited. I changed from the vegetable garden to the gazebo and then to the sun room. During this period, I spent a lot of money on every change. Despite all the disadvantages, living in a room with a garden on the first floor is not without its merits. Let's see. Living on the first floor.

Advantage 1: it is more convenient to travel and the space is more free.

My parents are out-and-out farmers and are used to living in bungalows. When I first started buying high-rise buildings, I asked my parents to take care of their children. It is really a hundred people who don't want to. After I came, I really didn't adapt to this building, and my neighbors didn't know me. In addition to buying food, I am afraid of going too far and getting lost. Later, when I moved to the first floor, the situation changed. With this small courtyard, the area has also increased a lot, and parents can go in and out freely, smiling.

Advantage 2: No need to squeeze the elevator.

When I used to live on the 33rd floor, I had to squeeze the elevator with everyone after work every day. When there are many people, they are really exhausted, wasting time on the road and even facing the situation that the elevator stops working. I either wait or climb upstairs to go home. For elderly parents, taking the elevator is actually not suitable. At first, I didn't press the button. Then I learned to take the elevator step by step!

But even if they learn how to take the elevator, their parents are afraid of heights. Maybe they are used to living in bungalows, and they will have a sense of fear about the things that go up and down like elevators!

Come and live on the first floor, and you don't have to worry about acrophobia and crowded elevators anymore. You can go in and out at will, and you don't have to pay the elevator fee, and you can save money!

Advantage 3: Free small garden.

Different developers, different living environments, the garden area presented on the first floor is also different. Some small gardens are more than ten square meters, and the larger ones can reach 100 square meters. If you like to grow vegetables, raise some flowers and plants, or keep some pets such as cats and dogs, if the garden area is large enough, you can give full play to it, and you can also build ponds for breeding. In a big city, you can have independent space. How much is this?

The above three points are

However, if the supporting facilities can't keep up and face problems such as privacy, safety, hygiene, noise, light and humidity, then the living experience will be terrible. Like me, I lived for three years and regretted it for three years!

Write it at the end

Some people say: no matter how poor you are, don't buy a house with a yard on the first floor! Actually, this sentence is not absolute. The climate between north and south is different, so is the housing experience. Because the north is mostly geothermal and heating, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, dry and rainy. You still enjoy living in a house with a garden on the first floor in the north, but if you live in a city with many mosquitoes in the south, you will encounter more problems!

Nothing is absolute. The supporting facilities in my community are average, and the quality of the community is also average. I really can't enjoy a house with a garden on the first floor these years!

Now the house has been hanging in the intermediary for several months, and no one is in charge. Unexpectedly, it is so difficult to change hands in the yard on the first floor!

If I really change hands, next time, I plan to buy the 3-5 floors of the stairs and never touch the first floor again!
