My house is on the first floor, my in-laws' house is on the top floor and I have also lived on the middle floors. I can answer this question with personal experience.
Let's talk about the top floor first. The advantages of the top floor are: wide view and good privacy. Some of the current garden houses have top floor gardens.
The main disadvantages of attics are the following two points:
1. Water leak problem, there are two types of attic. One is pointed and the other flat. Those with pointed roofs will not have a water leak problem. Water leaks mainly occur on upper floors with flat roofs. It mainly depends on the quality of the construction. The upper floors of modern flat-roofed garden sheds generally consist of two floors. and there are very few leaks. As for old houses, especially those built rains 10 years, the probability of water leakage is quite high, so it is not recommended to purchase them.
2. Cold in winter and hot in summer. The other floors have only lateral contact with the exterior. But there is a roof on the top floor. Therefore, the summer temperature on the top floor will be higher than that of other floors and the winter temperature will be colder than that of other floors.
Let's talk again about the ground floor. To be honest, I have lived on the ground floor for 5 years now, and I haven't found any faults if I really look for it, maybe it is. that the probability of wild animals appearing is higher. There was one in my garden once. A snake appeared, so I called property management to take care of it. Luckily he didn't crawl into the room and just wandered around the garden.

Regarding the problems mmentioned by other Internet users regarding humidity and lack of light, I have not encountered any. Today, newly built garden sheds are spaced so far apart that lighting poses no problem. And there is a basement and garage downstairs, so the room won't be too humid.
The ground floor has many advantages:
First of all, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. My house is in Chongqing and summers in Chongqing are notoriously hot, but my house can do without air conditioning in the summer. Underfloor heating is installed but is almost never used. When I walk from the room to the outside, it feels like it is. its own air conditioner and underfloor heating.
Secondly, most garden sheds now have a large garden on the ground floor, where flowers, vegetables, etc. can usually be grown. This benefit was revealed during the quarantine period, my son. et I could have a garden in the garden. Play table tennis indoors. If the puppy needs to pee or something else, he can go straight to the garden. With the garden, the privacy on the ground floor is better.
This is again a security issue. If a fire breaks out on other floors, an emergency exit is necessary. But I can go straight out to the ground floor. If I have children at home, I don't have to worry about falling from tall buildings. Nowadays, with the development of e-commerce, no one keeps too much cash at home and there are unlikely to be thieves. Additionally, it is in the community and security officers patrol it.
The first floor of our community that will be full when it opens is the ground floor, and the price is much higher than the other floors. Before buying it, I was worried about the downstairs flaws, as wasthe original owner, but now it's great to experience the main floor in person.
The poster's statement must therefore be based on the ancient community. The specific situation must be analyzed based on the housing situation.
My suggestion is: If the community has an underground garage and the distance between buildings is relatively large,If there is a garden on the ground floor, then the ground floor ground floor is definitely a good choice.
The top floor is also better if elderly people do not live there.
1. Disadvantages of the attic
1. Hot in summer and cold in winter. Generally speaking, when the attic is exposed in summer, the interior temperature rises significantly, so it remains high throughout the day. In addition, in winter, since the roof is in direct contact with the outside, the interior temperature will easily be lower than that of the outside.very high, which will give a colder feeling in winter. 2. The elevator runs for a long time. If you choose to live on the top floor of a six-story building with an elevator, the wait time for the elevator may not be long, but if you live on the top floor of a 30-story building , the average elevator descent time can take more than a minute. When I get off work, there are many breaks between floors, so it will take me at least 5 minutes to get down. Are you ready to wait? 3. Low water pressure. 4. Water leaks may occur. 5. It’s too tiring to climb the stairs during a power outage.
As for whether it is recommended to buy a penthouse, it depends on personal preferences.
2. Advantages of the top floor
1. No light blocking, good view. Generally speaking, there is usually no shade on the upper floors and most floors areupper parts are exposed to light throughout the day. 2. Fewer mosquitoes and less noise. 3. Good ventilation and dry air. 4. Exclusive large platform. 5. Cheap price.
