Top-floor apartments are the units located on the highest level of an apartment building. These apartments often offer several advantages. Some of them are no upstairs neighbors, potentially better views, and sometimes less noise from the street. They can also receive more natural light, attracting more buyers. These also have many disadvantages. These include higher temperatures during the summer and more stairs to climb if the elevator is out of service. Sometimes, top-floor apartments also have higher prices due to their desirable features.

Prestige Group has launched many top-floor apartment projects in Bangalore and other cities. These come with many benefits and disadvantages. The apartments are in high demand but also have their demerits.

Some of the benefits and disadvantages of Prestige Group's top-floor apartments are:

Benefits: Top-floor apartments give peace of mind and take the buyers away from the city's busy culture.

1. Sweeping View - Top-floor apartments definitely offer amazing views. In many big cities, buying a top-floor apartment can be a smart investment. These flats are demanded highly. If the flat is near a lake, sea, or similar natural area, people can get these beautiful spots.
2. Privacy - These flats give better privacy as compared to apartments on the ground-floor. These apartments are safer from theft and burglary.
3. Closer to nature - The top-story flats get fresh air and are well-lit. These receive ample amounts of sunlight as well. Ventilation in these units is good and is more airy.
4. Away from noises - Top-story units are away from the city's hustle-bustle. These get low noise and are free from light traffic as well.
5. High rental income - As these apartments are demanded more, they are easily taken for rent. The rental value is also high compared to floors in the middle and ground.

There are many disadvantages as well

1. Accessibility issues - Reaching the units built on top floors takes a lot of time. Towers with more than 15 floors can take time, and if the lifts are out of service, then reaching to apartment becomes tiresome.
2. Low emergency evacuation - In case of fire, earthquake, or any other major issue, the residents get stuck. To reach the ground floor, these might take alot of time. There should be emergency exits for these situations.
3. Less outdoor space - Top-floor flats usually have less balcony and utility space. The ground-floor apartments get these spaces more comparatively.
4. High Temperature - The top-story units receive more sunlight compared to the flats below them. The excessive sunlight makes the apartment very hot and raises the temperature. The units have to be properly insulated in order to keep them cool.
5. High Rental prices - The rental prices of the top-story flats are high as compared to other floors. These units often offer terrace gardens, or luxurious units offer swimming pools as well. Giving up for rent and paying rent becomes difficult for both owners and renters.
