Are you looking for a perfect match for your urban lifestyle in the form of a condominium? Do you prefer a low-rise or a high-rise unit?
First of all, we have to admit that people like condos because of less maintenance and good location for their workplace by MRT or BTS around Bangkok.
You may consider buying a condo based on brand, price, materials, design and perhaps promotions offered. Some people buy condos for their own living. Some buy for investment. Other factors to consider include facilities such as a nice lobby, fitness centre, swimming pool, security staff and so on.
But besides all the above considerations you may want to think about the height of the condo, whether it is low-rise or high-rise. Of course, both have pros and cons but which one is the right condo for you?
Let's help you to find your "condo-sweet-condo".
Low-rise condo advantages
1. More peace and privacy
Low-rise condos are good for those who have a hard working day and want to come home and find peace, quiet and private atmosphere. Typically, your neighbours, who also chose a low-rise condo, will have similar behaviours.
2. Secure and no worries of disasters
Due to the smaller area, security and services are well covered. In case of a disaster such as a fire, earthquake, or even just a power-out, there will be less panic than with high-rise architecture. It will be easier to evacuate the building due to less stories.
3. Real lifestyle living
Because they don’t have too many stories or barriers, low-rise condos give you the feeling of living in a house. Mostly, they also have larger unit sizes and you can extend the living space to create your own place that makes you feel as warm as in a house as well.
4. Renting and Selling
Low-rise condos have more opportunities for renting and selling lower units because competitors in the same project can only have a few units whereas high-rise condos can have 100 units or more for rent or sale at any one time, resulting in price competition that is unfavourable to investors.
High-rise condo advantages
1. Convenient lifestyle
High rise condos are more commonly located on main roads and near BTS or MRT stations than low-rise condos. This is because land prices are very high on main roads, so you have to build tall and create lots of units. High-rise condos are generally sited in more prime locations than low-rise developments. This makes the price of high-rise condos higher compared to low rise condos of the same quality in nearby locations.
2. Exotic view
Living on a high floor means getting a great view. Some high-rise condos offer views of the Chao Phya River and the concrete canyons of the city centre.
3. Design Features
Design features of large buildings include more height that gives high-rise condos more elegance, quaintness and liability.
4. Big Facilities
Because lots of people stay in high-rise condos, they need bigger facilities such as swimming pool, fitness, spa and so on. So before you buy a high-rise condo make sure the facilities are big enough for everyone.
Conclusion
Whether you choose a low-rise or high-rise condo is a matter of personal preference. But in the end, the main factors to consider before reaching a purchase decision are convenience, contentment, investment potential, rental potential, and, above all, location.
If you prefer a high-rise condo in a better location than other high-rise condos in the same area, you should be able to find one easily.
If you prefer low-rise condos, finding one in a good location is more difficult as few developers will utilise precious land resources that way.
A new low-rise condo project has been launched that is in a better location than high-rise rivals on a main road and near a BTS station.
