Thanks all for your advice. I think I will go for first floor instead of second.The apartment is far from the main gate hence ground floor is also a good option.

You are allowed 5 floors in Nairobi if you have a lift... Without a lift... the 5th might be illegal!

I think what you need to consider as said by vv is availability of lift..... i bought a unit under construction in westie, and i chose the 3rd fl since theres a lift, again depending with the sourrounding, i have a nice view sitting at the b/room balcony, u cant enjoys this on ground or even 1st fl.Shame on you

top floor... hata ukipiga nduru when landing planes in Wajir airstrip the noise will be minimally heard by the people behind you.

But on a serious note i find it abit more private since watu sio wengi wanapita pita hapo. its cleaner since its only u and ur neighbor who use the common area as compared to the other floors where everyone passes thru.
Security.. utaskia nduru za 1st floor kabla thugs hawajakufikia and be better prepared for them

GF is ideal if u have small kids but be ready to fight crawling intruders like ants & rats. 1st is the best compared to upper floors, when water is scare u & the fellow on GF will get it first.

Nowadays, [good] developments have tanks on the ground & one the roof so the GF does not have much of an advantage. Unless, you use debes to carry water to the apartments...

Also remember that the service charge will be significantly higher when there is a lift.

The best floor to stay in an apartment is the ground floor especially far from the entrance,.You will have the comfort that comes with it, climbing stairs even to the first floor 2 or 3 times a day sucks .

Ground Floor - You are the guard. All visitors to the block will stop there for directions. When thugs visit, you will be the nearest target. God forbid when there is a sewer problem.

2nd, 3rd & 4th Floor - Your mother will be worn out by the time she gets to your place.

5th Floor - Illegal and the City Council will one day catch up with you.

1st Floor - BEST.

BTW - this is from experience.


........and tell you to detach your 5th floor apartment from the rest of the block...
