As the title says.

Basement pros:
- Cooler in the summer
- Less stairs
- Often cheaper to rent

Basement cons:
- Colder in the winter/Higher heating costs
- Less sunlight
- More insects
- Neighbors living above

Top floor pros:
- Lots of sunlight
- Less insects
- No neighbors above
- Better view

Top floor cons:
- Hot in the summer
- More stairs

Some people I know seem to swear by basement units. Anytime they move out or rent a place it's a basement.

I on the other hand can't stand having people live above me. Been renting top floors for the past 6-7 years and would never go back to a basement unit.

So which one do you like best?

Of course this only applies to people living in an appartment or condo.

My man

Second floor is definitely the worst. Neighbors above and below. Maybe even on each side.
