1st floor apartment :
cooler in summer, warmer in winter
easy furniture loading
ants, spiders, burrowing things, & weird insectile-worm hybrids galore
flood whenever there's water outside
unexpected plant-like growths
first-level invasion scenarios
2nd floor apartment :
can load awkward furniture via deck door
relatively safe / easy to escape
neighbours above AND below to deal with
maintenance issues ( often via above & below neighbours )
drunk neighbours pass out on deck ( drunk climbers )
neighbours throw shit onto deck/at windows thinking you're someone else
3rd floor apartment :
godlike view from the deck
warmer in winter... and summer and spring and... (h eat rises! )
least likely maintenance issues ( unless roof or heating )
despised by neighbours below just for walking ( "sorry, haven't learned to float yet" )
seasonal ants & spiders ( WHY do these f'ers have to CLIMB ?!? )
flights of stairs... every... single... day...
