Just as in a house, the entryway is one of three most important areas in a NYC apartment building. When you're buying or renting a home in a major city like New York, you can evaluate the main entrance of an apartment building with this easy list of Do's and Don'ts for a Feng Shui main entrance.
DO look for an apartment with: - An obvious, easy-to-find main entrance
- A main entrance with a large, bright foyer (or Ming Hall)
- A main entrance you can access from street level, without walking up or down stairs (or using an elevator)
- A main entrance with glass doors, glass walls, or conventional walls
DON'T buy an apartment with: - A sunken main entrance, because the apartment will lack Yang energy, leaving residents tired, lethargic and lacking ambition
- An open air main entrance
- A main entrance with a steep staircase
- A main entrance that is blocked by architectural structures, posts, trees, lampposts or other obstructions
- A main entrance that faces a back entrance, because chi and opportunities will rush in and then out very quickly
