West_end Neutral Newbie January 20, 2013 Share January 20, 2013 Planning to get a resale flat near Dawson, where the highest floor is 40. Wonder how is it like living in a place with several tall blocks & large number of apt units? Appreciate your kind feedback on the pros and cons. Thanks very much ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_blade Turbocharged January 20, 2013 Share January 20, 2013 I don't think it will means much after a while. You will probably get used to the high, the view, watching fireworks, etc after a while. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
