We lived in the apartment for a year. It was close to transport, shops and school. It was different living 3 floors up an over looking a 6 lane highway, but we called it home. At times it felt like living in a hotel, the entrance and hallways were tastefully decorated, and an entry system that worked via our phone, a gym and a swimming pool, and a gated car park. All sound very nice. However there were some draw backs, the highway I mentioned earlier, taking the rubbish out was interesting, not a 2 minute job more like 15 – it became rather a chore.
The apartment was well insulated, some may think that’s good, however in the summer it felt like living in a sauna. One of the things you have to remember when you are 3 floors up, is that you have to add an extra 10 minutes on to your planned leaving time, because by the time you have waited for the lift and got to the car and then out of the car park time has flown by. This also adds time and effort when you return home with the months shopping – how many times do you go to and fro the car!!!!! I never really worried about these things until it was time to move and I realised life would be simple with the garage attached to the house. The trips to and fro the apartment also meant when we moved would have been quicker but we spent sooooo much time walking the hallways and waiting for the lift it took as twice as long to move!
