10 key things you can't overlook in your condo floor plan before buying

May 18, 2024 7:00 AMWhat makes a good condo layout? Well, the answer is, truthfully, quite subjective — but there are some common features that most people appreciate.

That said, if you are willing to bear higher costs for things like custom carpentry and furniture, odd-shaped rooms can be quite exotic and interesting.Some layouts will be designated with a "plus one", such as a 3+1 bedder. The plus one suggests there's enough space to add one more room, which can mean anything from a small study to a reasonably sized bedroom.

There's also the benefit of some extra privacy, if there's a bedroom on another floor. If you ever have a tenant, for example, it can be more comfortable if they're living downstairs, while you reside in the upper floor bedrooms.Bathrooms without ventilation are quite unpleasant. No one wants to go in after someone's done their business, and we've seen older condos where you need to open the door and blow a fan to "air it out" afterwards.

Other than natural light helping an area to look more spacious, it can also be a great saver in terms of electricity. Those who are looking to incorporate more plants will want to be wary too, as you will be limited to the types of plants that you can have in your home.
