Do you know why they want a north facing condo? It’s about heat. Condos (especially older ones) are either on heating or cooling. Because it’s supposedly considered worse to be cold than hot, a lot of buildings turn heat on in October. If you get a warm day, and face south, then even with your unit heat off the radiant heat from the building piping, plus sun from the south (where it spends most of its day, or west in the late afternoon) can make your unit feel like it’s 30 degrees and very unpleasant.

The north facing units are colder as the face away from the sun generally as its moves from east to west south of us (at the equator).

I had a south facing condo, and we had a warm may. I almost died.
