They Offer Breathtaking Views

The breathtaking views on top floors are "to die for", which makes them more expensive since they typically provide better views than flats on lower levels, even if you don't live in the finest location. In addition, the image of luxury and seclusion that come with living on a higher floor adds to its appeal.

There Is A Lot Of Natural Light

Compared to apartments on lower floors, apartments on higher floors may have more natural light, which is one of the best perks for tenants. Also, a lot of natural air blows into the apartments on the top floor. In addition, it is unlikely that there will be pest infestation such as mosquitoes and other smaller insects which cannot survive at very high altitudes.

It Is Quieter

You can rest and unwind on the top floor of an apartment complex because there is less street noise when you are on the top floor. Also, music from neighbours who are below can barely affect you. As such, penthouses are usually preferred by business executives who may need to have a lot of online meetings with their business partners.
