Are you looking for a home? If yes, then you must have plans regarding the building construction or, the size of the building.

At this place, most of the potential buyers get confused between high-rise and low-rise buildings. Both buildings have their unique advantages. Thus, considering all the factors before booking one is important.

To make this process more convenient for you, Vinayak Realtech will elaborate on the advantages of High Rise and Rise Buildings in today’s blog so that you can choose the right one.

Let’s start!

What is a High-rise Building?

Before going into the agenda, it is important to clear the definitions first.

Typically, high-rise buildings are structures, that are higher than 75 feet (23 meters) and usually consist of 7 storeys or, more.

On the construction part, concrete and steel materials are used in the frame of a high-rise building.

Along with that, Concrete Piers, Piles, or Caissons also get used in the construction to enhance durability and strength. The robust structure allows the realtor to opt for different architectures or designs, help to deal with several weather changes, and incresase lifespan.

What is a Low-rise Building?

The building comes in various shapes and sizes. Although the high-rise building is quite popular among buyers, not everyone likes it.

High-rise buildings have several stories and offer a professional and city life. Additionally,  due to high-quality building materials, it comes with a higher price tag. Thus, it is not suitable for everyone.

Typically, a low-rise building consists of two to three floors and offers a quite intimate life. Also, as a few families are residing in the building, it offers a perfect community life.

On the building materials, originally traditional materials and methods are used here. Thus, the price tag usually remains lower.

As the definitions are clear, it is time to focus on the advantages and disadvantages. Let’s proceed.

The Advantages of High-rise Buildings:

Builders use steel frames in high-rise buildings which makes them flexible and strong. The flexibility provides the scope to play with architectural designs or height. Both factors appeal to the buyers or potential buyers. However, there are several benefits of high-rise buildings, too. Let’s shed some on that too.

Lower Pollution Rate:

As the main feature of high-rise buildings is their height, it allows the users to escape the pollution and surrounding noise. Also, it helps in more access to fresh air than the low-rise residents.

No MoreNosy People:

If you live in a low-rise building and have a window opposite another building, there is a chance that the residents of that house will stare at you. Even if not, it reduces your privacy. You must control your voice every time. However, With a high-rise building, it is never been the issue due to height.

Scenic View:

 A high-rise building allows you to have an overview of the surroundings, and it soothes your mind. Additionally, it helps to reduce mental stress and eye fatigue.

Peace:

Due to height, a lower amount of noise can reach the upper floors. It contributes to a peaceful and better life.

Secured Life:

High-rise buildings have better security features than any other type of buildings. Usually, the high-rise apartments have features like an intercom system, CCTV, etc. Additionally, above the fifth floor, no one can really climb. Thus, it offers a safer life for the residents.

Better Future Prospect:

Generally, high-rise building comes with better architectural works, designs and amenities. Thus, it has a greater appeal to the buyers. Also, it has a stronger type of construction which reduces the depreciation rate. Hence, if you want to invest in real estate, it is better to invest in a high-rise building.

Wide Range of Options:

Usually, a high-rise building has more than 20 or 25 flats and the number increases depending on the land area. It helps to get a wide range of apartments to choose from.

Although, most layouts (apartment layout means its shape or size) are the same, openness matters. It allows buyers to get the best.

Greater Access to Urban Facilities:

Maximum high-rise buildings usually get built in the middle or nearby of an urban area. It helps easy access to the urban facilities and makes life more comfortable.

Additionally, 99% of high-rise buildings have facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, and rooftop gardens. These things also contribute to a peaceful life.

Community Living:

High-rise building has more apartments and more people, thus, an individual gets the chance to get closer to a larger number of people and to form a community.

Smaller community or resident numbers reduce this scope.

Buyers are taking a higher interest in high-rise buildings due to amenities, exclusivity, and community living; and it is contributing to the growth of industry and reducing the price.

Advantages of Low-rise Buildings:

Typically, the low-rise buildings are 99 meters in height and as little as 35 meters tall. Due to the smaller size, they don’t have several flats, which reflects the look of a residential building and doesn’t have an elevator. Due to the close community feeling it is loved by many buyers. Here are some of its advantages:

Affordability:

As the low-rise building is not as tall as the high-rise buildings and requires a lower amount of land; one gets it at a much lower price (50% lower than high-rise).

Lower Maintenace Cost:

Usually, the low-rise buildings have a lower amount of amenities and limited floors. It reduces the maintenance cost and contributes to a minimal life.

Easy-to-live:

Although it is a fact that high-rise buildings have a larger amount of amenities and it makes life overall comfortable, any gadgets can be out of service anytime and it can make resident’s life miserable. Instance, if you live on the 14th floor and somehow all the elevators get out of service at a time; it can be difficult. However, as low-rise buildings have limited floors and families, these issues never happen.

Provides Family Away Family:

High-rise buildings have several families and most of them are busy, hence, they usually don’t talk to each other. The residents rely on technology and paid service; if they face any issues. On the other hand, the lesser number of families allows the low-rise building residents to form a bond and live like a family. In short, it provides a quieter suburban lifestyle.

Safety and Security:

You might be surprised by this point. Although it is a fact that low-rise buildings have a lower amount of amenities, they provide more safety and security in times of emergency such as earthquakes or fires.

Emergency evacuation is far easier than high-rise buildings and results in a reduced number of casualties.

Energy Efficiency:

High-rise buildings mostly rely on electrical gadgets or amenities which leads to large power consumption. However, it gets the opposite in the low-rise buildings. One can live a sustainable and minimal life in a low-rise building.

High-rise or Low-rise, Which One is Better?

According to market trends, a huge number of people prefer the high-rise building and especially, Gen Z. It is because of the comfort and higher security gadgets. It is allowing them to live or travel outside the city peacefully. Thus, the decision depends on the demands of your life and choices.

If you live a pretty hectic life, it is better for you to choose an apartment in a high-rise building in the middle of the city. It will contribute to making your life smoother.

On the other hand, go for a low-rise building if you love a slower and low-maintenance life.
