The Garden Villas in Shanghai have been exclusive to the upper class in Shanghai, Fujian and Guangdong since the mid-19th century. They are the product of the interweaving of Western civilization and lifestyle with Chinese culture. Garden house, also known as Garden Villa, is commonly referred to as a garden-style house, a Western-style house, a small house, a single-yard bungalow or a two- or three-story building with a garden lawn and a garage. It emphasizes that every household has a garden. Including the Western-style townhouses (or duplexes) in the market, the units are larger and the living comfort is high. Generally, garden houses can be divided into narrow and broad senses.

In a narrow sense, garden house refers to a villa in a large sense, that is, every household has a private garden, with high-quality products and luxurious decoration. Architectural styles usually include European classical style, British rural style, Spanish style, Chinese and Western mixed style, etc. The mixed style of Chinese and Western style basically follows the preferences of Chinese owners, adopting Western style in construction technology, house structure and residential equipment, and incorporating traditional Chinese characteristics in floor layout, internal and external decoration, and courtyard greening, with diverse styles.

The garden house in the broad sense no longer just refers to the villa. In a sense, it is more appropriately called Garden House or Garden Apartment. Most of the garden houses currently in the market are garden houses in the broad sense. From the real estate market Judging from the situation, a garden house in a broad sense can be defined as: a multi-story panel building with less than 6 floors, mainly four floors, with obvious foreign architectural styles, good landscapes, and high greening rate. It is generally found in the outer suburbs, usually with one floor. A garden is provided, a terrace is provided on the top floor, and there are also cases where outdoor greening is introduced indoors.

Is it a good idea to buy a garden house? What should you pay attention to when choosing a floor?

It is definitely a good idea to buy a garden house because it is more comfortable and less crowded. However, the total price and unit price of a garden house are relatively high, making it suitable for people with better economic conditions to buy. Because garden houses on the market have lower floor area ratios, more beautiful environments, and more comfortable living conditions than ordinary houses; in terms of floors, in addition to the conventional 5+1, garden houses also have 6+1 and 7+1 models, with a total floor The price is much lower than that of ordinary houses. In addition, many bungalows are also equipped with elevators. In terms of unit type, garden bungalows can be transparent to every household, and the house on the first floor has a garden, and the top floor can have a loft or terrace. When buying a garden house, what should you pay attention to when choosing a floor?

Advantages of the first floor:

1. It is more convenient to enter and exit, suitable for families with elderly people.

2. There is a garden on the first floor, which gives people a better feeling and a wider view. You can plant vegetables and flowers in the garden, set up a flower stand and have a dining table. If the weather is good, you can have breakfast in the garden. , very comfortable.

Disadvantages of the first floor:

1. The privacy on the first floor is poor, privacy cannot be guaranteed, and security risks may easily arise.

2. There are more mosquitoes and flies on the first floor in summer.

3. The first floor without an underground garage is relatively humid; if the distance between buildings is too small, the lighting on the first floor will be poor. Therefore, when buying a house, you must pay attention to whether there is an underground garage on the first floor and the distance between the front and rear buildings.

4. The drainage on the first floor is easily blocked. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is a separate drainage on the first floor, where the septic tank is located, and whether it is under the garden.

5. Residents upstairs tend to throw rubbish into the garden. People flow in and out, doors open and close, etc., making loud noises.

Therefore, when buying a house, you must pay attention to the positioning of the property and the quality of the neighbors. At the same time, good property management is very important. The comfort, practicality, utilization rate and lighting and ventilation conditions of the garden should also be paid attention to; in addition, is the garden area included in the property rights certificate, or is it owned by the owner of the community? All these should be consulted clearly.

Advantages of the top floor:

1. Residents on the top floor do not have to worry about being affected by the footsteps of residents upstairs, the sound of toilet flushing, or leaks in the house. They are relatively independent and private. good.

2. Nowadays, the top floor generally adopts a sloped roof, so there is no need to worry about rain leakage; if not, the risk of rain leakage is relatively high.

3. With an attic or roof garden on the top floor, there is more usable space.

Disadvantages of the top floor:

Garden houses with elevators are okay. If there is no elevator, you have to climb stairs to travel, which is inconvenient.

Advantages and disadvantages of other floors:

Except for the top floor and the first floor, other floors will not have the moisture problems on the first floor, nor will they face the risk of rain leakage like the top floor. However, the floors on the 2nd and 3rd floors are relatively low, so security measures such as anti-theft are required.

For owners who choose a garden house on the first floor, there are pros and cons. There are also pros and cons for residents living above the second floor. For example, if residents on the first floor use their garden to raise chickens, ducks, and pigeons, the stench produced will affect the residents of the entire building. This is not just a casual talk. I have encountered such a situation when I was on the market. Therefore, when buying a house, you must consider all aspects of the issue, especially the quality of property services in the community, which must not be ignored when buying a house.
