In the old days, Prawet District and the proximity of Srinagarindra Rd was marked as the yellow area in the city plan due to the low density of residential places and lifestyle amenities. As time passed, housing estates began to show up along the advancement of infrastructures. On Nut Rd, Sukhumvit 101/1 Rd and Udom Suk Rd helped to connect Srinagarindra Rd and Sukhumvit Rd together; and the campaign of widening the street from three lanes to four lanes has soothed the heavy traffic in the rush-hour, all complemented a greater condition of living. Not so long, the city plan of this district was changed from yellow to orange, meaning a greater number of population have inhabited in the area. Correspondingly, lifestyle amenities started to emerge and transform; Thai Daimaru Department Store was renovated into Paradise Park, Train Night Market Srinakarin and Seacon Square were launched. Besides, residents will get benefits of connectivity from the expansion of Metropolitan Rapid Transit campaign, covering Yellow, Blue, Grey, Orange and Light Green Line. When the campaign comes to its completion, the land price will be appraised to a higher value.
Chaloem Phrakiat Ratchakan Thi 9 Rd is specified as an environmental-reservation road
AQ ARBOR is situated on Chaloem Phrakiat Ratchakan Thi 9 Rd 48 Alley with a 20-minute drive to Suan Luang Rama IX. The area is restricted with the height of the buildings to reserve the condition of environments; therefore, you will not likely to see high-rise nor low-rise condominiums in this area. The surrounding atmosphere remains quite peaceful and most lands are occupied with agricultural purposes, otherwise owned by rich people. Public transportations are vans and mini-bus. When Prawet District was changed from yellow to orange in the city plan, the restriction was softened to compromise a fifteen-meter-high building. This led to many housing projects initiation to serve new generation residents with a promising career growth and started to raise up his/her family. In addition, there is an elevated Phatthanakan-On Nut Rd that links to Chaloem Phrakiat Ratchakan Thi 9 Rd, offering convenience for residents to travel in and out the city.

Selling the house has a higher chance to generate more profits as the land price shifts rapidly in the recent days due to the advancement in public utility and transportations. Land prices around Chaloem Phrakiat Ratchakan Thi 9 Rd range between 80,000-100,000 Baht/Sq.w.; while those in the alley range from 30,000-60,000 Baht/Sq.w. The completion of MRT Yellow Line will fetch up these ranges by 20-30%. Leasing a unit may not be the best choice as installment periods are short, meaning a large down payment is required to grant the ownership.
