Living a high life, sort of

TWO years ago this month, I moved from a bungalow to a condominium. By doing so, I unwittingly joined the majority of my generation – baby boomers aged 60 to 80 – who are also making the same choice.

Condo living is also the preferred choice for even older Malaysians, the so-called builder generation born before 1946, with 93% buying high-rise units. Among boomers, the figure is 77%. At the other end of the generational spectrum, the Gen Z born between 1997 and 2012, are also choosing to live in condos.
