I recently selected #4th floor. Currently staying #13 so also a bit worried about it.
One thing to note that being on high floor currently, we still get insects flying in, including big cockroaches who fly through the window!

I have lived #03 before. Insects are quite frequent, cockroaches are frequent. But then my house was very old and in old estate. Got centipedes before also.

Currently staying #08 in a newer estate and really much better. Maybe got a cockroach a year flying from outside.

But I hate the aircon ledge. People from upstairs thrown down rubbish and land on the lower floors like dumpsite!

I used to stay on #04 and currently #12. I can see a difference between the number of creepy crawlies or flying insects visiting my house. Lol. Lower floor i get more insects as compared to now.

Take the #03 unit.

Take slightly higher would be better. #03......

Low floor tends to be more noiser if it has a playground / or similar fuction areas.

I having been staying low floors most of the time. No issues of smell or insects. My first was level 3 with void deck. Next was level floor, but top floor. Then moved to level 3 with void deck. Then again to level 4, also top floor. Finally, I am staying at level 11, but it takes slightly longer to get down.

Only problem is hanging out clothes to dry.

If you dont have trees in front of your house then i think it should not be too bad. Mine used to have a tree in front of my house about 7-10metres away.
