I think its important to have a pool with a good southerly aspect that isnt going to be overlooked . I would be concerned if the development backed onto a main road as Egyptians tend to drive with their horns  and other factors that might cause noise (nightclubs,bars etc).I would rather be in a quiet area than a really lively one.
Then apartment practicality . Nice size terrace or balcony (roof terrace a big plus) .Fair sized rooms with separate living area (studio's out for me).The possibility of noise from surroundings (The first apartments near lifts will be noisier than at the end of the corridor). The fewer directly neighbouring apartments the better really .Good finish and good aftersales are also important. |
Hi Crombie'
I agree with you. The majority of apartments are now being built under so called European Standards and the finishing is very similar but for me it has to be location,location,location.
Like you said you can have a rose which is surrounded by thorns and unless you want to send people on holiday to hibernate in their apartmenta they will eventually want to come out and check the area around them. Too many developments are great looking and promise the best finish but are in poor areas. The same applies to beach front which is valuable but is surrounded by underdeveloped areas.
