Would you choose a high floor or a low floor when buying a house? Why?

When buying a house, I usually consider the middle and lower floors. First, the lower floors are more down-to-earth, and I feel more at ease when living there than the upper floors. Second: The middle and lower floors are very close to the ground. In addition to being grounded, they are also more convenient in many situations. First, for example, there is a power outage. Although there is backup power, you dare not use the elevator on high floors. What if the power is insufficient and the elevator suddenly gets stuck and the elevator falls? Anyway, there are so many elevator trap accidents these days, and I have a phobia about elevators. Secondly, what should I do if the water supply is cut off? People who live in high-rise communities will use water pumps to provide water for everyone. If you live in a high-rise building and carry a bucket of water upstairs, you will probably sweat and sweat, and even this bucket of water cannot make up for it. Also, I'm afraid of heights. I would definitely faint if I stood on the balcony. I can't bear to work on floors.

The unit in the area we chose when we bought the house only had two floors to choose from, one on the 10th floor and one on the 18th floor. Originally, the 18th floor was not considered a first floor, because our building has a total of 46 floors, so the 18th floor was already considered a lower floor. My first impression was that I wanted to choose the 18th floor, because the density of the houses here is relatively high, and if the floor is too low, the lighting will not be good. But I thought about it again and reluctantly chose the 10th floor. There are advantages and disadvantages to choosing the 10th floor. The advantages are: usually I can take the stairs if I don’t want to take the elevator, which is not tiring, and no one is afraid of a power outage. Also, If there are elderly people living together, it is very convenient to be close to the ground. The elderly people are from rural areas and cannot accept the elevator, so they can take the stairs for exercise. Furthermore, if you join the elderly and have an emergency, you can save time because it is close to the place.

The disadvantage is that there are too many and dense buildings in this place, and each building is very high, so choosing the 10th floor is really bad for lighting. If you stay at home for a day and go out, your eyes will The feeling of not daring to open it. Also, the floor was low. We originally chose not to face the residential area behind, but to face the expressway ring road in front, so the sound of traffic passing by all day long is inevitable, especially in the weather after rain. Because there is water on the road, the noise is louder when vehicles drive by. Although there is soundproof glass on the roadside, it still cannot block the noisy sound. This is a drawback.

Personally, I think there are advantages and disadvantages regardless of height, and it depends on personal preferences and the comprehensive situation of family members.
