住电梯房，每天爬楼梯都很累，所以老旧小区的顶楼，很多人说都是"雷区里的雷区"，天热得像蒸笼、冬天冷得不行，再遇上漏雨的那才叫憋屈。 如今说起步梯房，很多人第一反应就是"过时了"。 你看，我们觉得是坑的地方，别人看到可能就是宝。 但是最近身边一些经济条件不错的有钱人，开始盯着这种"老破小的顶楼"了，明明在房产鄙视链上没电梯的老顶楼就是垫底的，有钱人为什么要买？ 后来我听一位干了十多年的房产中介说，这里面藏着许多商机和门道。 01、为什么有人愿意买老小区的顶楼？ 普通人买老小区顶楼也不是凭运气，是真的看中了老小区某一点，可能有的时候并不见得在楼盘广告上写，却真实影响居住感受。 第一，地段和学区。 老旧小区的房子虽旧，但却是城市中心或学区范围内的房子，相同地段，高层的价格往往比低层的要低一些，甚至可以省出几十万。 对于要上学、要通勤的家庭来说，能用更便宜的价格买到核心地段的房子，多好啊？ 第二，顶楼很安静。 网友@露露： 我自己当初买那套老小区的顶楼，身边的人都说她"人傻钱多"，就是看中了那个200平的大露台， 咬牙买下一套350平的顶楼跃层，装修好，楼上种花种菜，楼下生活起居，日子过得比很多别墅还舒服。 住过中间 ...

近几年，随着房地产市场下行，不少人都在抱怨房贷月月还，房子却亏麻了，越住心里越没有底。 可从生活的角度来看，房子终究是用来住的，舒适性才是关键。 网友@樱桃小鑫： 房子涨跌关我什么事，再大的问题也没有一顿火锅解决不了的，而这也是"两梯两户"给我的底气。 本期就来聊聊前段时间频繁登上热搜的"两梯两户"住宅，看看它都有哪些优缺点。 01. 什么是"两梯两户"住宅？ 简单来说，就是一层只有两户人家，并配备了两部电梯，且出了电梯门就是一块"前室"空间。 不过它还有一个更吸睛的叫法——"一梯一户"。 因为从住宅结构上来看，它和标准的"一梯一户"似乎并没有多大区别，都有一块"消防前室"空间。 02. "两梯两户"住宅都有哪些优势？ 1、私密性更好 2、电梯出行更方便 高层住宅最大的痛点，就是随着入住时间的加长，电梯出行会越来越不方便，尤其是早晚高峰时间段， 那叫一个折磨人。 相较于一梯一户，其实两梯两户的私密性也不差。 虽然一层有两户人家，但由于前室各设有一道常闭式防火门，两家的日常出入动线完全分离，所以生活 中完全不会受到邻居的干扰。 而且，不只是"两梯两户"，有些11层的"一梯两户"住宅也会被售楼小姐姐吹成是"一梯一 ...

Given President Trump’s pledge to conquer America’s housing crisis, and the plan he just grandiosely delivered to do it, you’d think he’d soon hatch a new credo to spotlight the campaign—something like MAHAA, for “Make America’s Homes Affordable Again.” Indeed, the biggest part of the overall “affordability” problem that’s so crucial to voters, and increasingly dominates the debate among politicians—led by Trump himself—is the explosion in the cost of housing. The rise in what families need to pay for the s ...
