How do you like living in a high rise?

I live in a 3 floor apartment building and really have an intimate relationship with my neighbors and landlord. I’m feeling intimidated to move to a bigger building but I’m interested in buying a condo next year and a lot of what I like is in those big buildings with a door guy and shared gym, etc. I’m feeling a bit intimidated to live in one of these places but am also excited to move to a part of the city I prefer living in. How do you like living in a high rise?

... Read moreMoving to a high-rise apartment raises several important questions. Many residents enjoy the enhanced amenities that come with larger buildings, such as fitness centers, doormen, and community lounges. These features can create a more luxurious lifestyle and convenient living experience. However, it's natural to feel apprehensive about leaving a close-knit community for a more anonymous environment. High-rise living often provides breathtaking views and access to urban conveniences that ground-level homes may not offer. Additionally, life in a high-rise can also foster a unique lifestyle with vibrant social opportunities and events hosted by the building management. The experience can be personalized based on the type of community you seek and your lifestyle preferences. Ultimately, weigh your comfort in leaving behind your intimate community against the excitement of the amenities and life in a preferred neighborhood. As you consider this transition, think about what aspects of living in a high-rise appeal to you the most. Are you ready for a change, or do you value the closeness of your current living situation? Gathering opinions from current high-rise dwellers can also provide valuable insights that aid in your decision-making process.

I mean, honestly, if you have the money and the means to be able to live in a high-rise and a nice area then do it. Life is short not to take risk and enjoy it.

I live on the 20th floor in downtown and the views are great! Plus it gets super noisy with all the cars so being higher up helps mediate the noise levels a bit compared to being on a lower floor
