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. 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. 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.

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.

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.
