My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

top level unit or middle unit better?

19 years ago

Hello, I am moving to my second apartment, and there is a top level unit(5th floor) available as well as a third floor unit. I currently live in a two story apartment building and live on the top floor. I have never had the experience of people walking above me, and I am weary of this due to some of the stories I have heard of. Which is the better choice, a top level unit or a middle level unit? (The complex has dual elevators in each building)Thanks for any suggestions
