How's It Like Living In Tall HDB Block?

[West_end]

Planning to get a resale flat near Dawson, where the highest floor is 40.

 

Wonder how is it like living in a place with several tall blocks & large number of apt units?

 

Appreciate your kind feedback on the pros and cons.

 

Thanks very much

Check whether there is parking problems at night, can be extremely irritating

You will get low signal or no signal for your mobile phones

 

Another con is you will wait forever to go down and up via elevators.

I meant 1 set of lifts serve from eg 1st and 21st-40th floors while the other set serve 1st-20th floor..........at least that's what I saw in the new flats near my house.......

If you stand naked by the window on a clear day, your balls won't shrink but it sure looks tiny from down here.

That could be dangerous as a flying bird could mistake the "stick" as a worm........

You have to take the right lifts.

 

Some serve lower half, some all the way to top.

I used to stay 24th flr point block... IMO not much diff only gets dusty quite quickly cos no blockage, wind blow in all the dust everyday... As for lift failure only happen to me once when both lifts failed and I was walking my dog... Had to carry doggy all the way up... When indo earthquake also can feel more lo

I don't think it will means much after a while. You will probably get used to the high, the view, watching fireworks, etc after a while.
