1. No low floors and never the highest floor
2. Dont take the unit beside the lift and rubbish chute, but not a big issue at all if the floor has only 3-4 units.
3. Corner units are the best choice
4. If you have a choice of cluster blocks, choose the block away from the main road, eatery etc...
5. Morning sun is ok, evening sun is not.

Eh? Evening Sun into living, bed room, your room will be hotter than usual, doesn’t help if ppl are at home after evening time?!
Mitigate with solar film. Natural light is really quite nice. If too much can use curtain but not enough cannot add.

Is all personal preference. and are people comparing with old or new hdb build? Some negative points of old build might be corrected with new design

No use... From my west facing neighbour... He advise never touch West facing unit.

Many things can use engineering to control... West sun no. All the house I stay all NS facing...

Think he will not share his tips so that he will still get the best choice of unit. Singaporeans owning Singaporeans is not a good trait.

Mine I get morning sun in the Living room and bedroom at an angle and evening sun at the yard. So far so good. Solar film made a significant difference. At least 2 degrees difference in room temp after being out the whole day.

Highest floor.
Beside lift lobby.
Highest floor means u get free sauna daily and if helicopters fly by, u are the first to know, besides lift lobby is bad only if u are on the level where the lift will auto park, it's the first and 8th for me here.
