“A condominium along the MRT allows convenient travel and avoids hectic traffic. Comparing between BTS and MRT routes, I much prefer a condominium along MRT routes. Simply delivering what I need for my lifestyle.”
As DDproperty had interviewed various people from many occupations. They asked about their experiences while choosing a property. It can be concluded that the first criteria for choosing a property is the location. Property near sky train was the most popular because of the convenient travel. However, most people prefer to be near BTS while Khun Peem Peerakit prefers to be near the MRT sky train. He will share his experiences, pros and cons, in this interview.
Near to MRT gives a quality of life.
If there is a survey choosing between property near BTS or MRT, most people would have picked to be near BTS. BTS routes pass through many main attractions. For example, shopping centres, tourist attractions, educational institutions, and business sources. It can fulfil various types of lifestyles.
“People who do most of their activities in the cities or at main attractions might fall in love with properties along BTS sky train routes. I’m neither a person who socialises nor do I do activities in cities. I much prefer MRT routes, as it is not overly crowded like the BTS.”
Khun Peem confirmed our understanding of the concept of “a good life.” Not all city people have the same preferences. Some people fulfil their life by going out travelling. Some people love to stay home. They maximise their relaxation by staying away from crowded and chaotic places. While they still need to have convenient travel to important places such as school, office or shopping mall. So, a condominium near MRT routes makes life much better.
Does location = quality lifestyle?
To fulfil a good quality lifestyle is more than choosing a ‘location.’
Because individuals’ needs and lifestyles are different. The location might not be the only important factor in choosing the property. Like condominiums along MRT lines that Khun Peem chose, there are a lot of criteria in mind.
“Of course, the first reason I choose the condominium near MRT station was because of its convenient location. It is on the main road and convenient to walk to the station. The second criterion is the overall atmosphere of the project. It is not crowded because it is a Low-Rise condominium. There are lots of greenery. The last criterion is the reasonable price for what is offered. Condominiums along BTS routes are priced much higher.”
Khun Peem crossed out all the projects in CBD or shopping areas because they are crowded. The choice he had was more than enough. And not inferior to condominiums near BTS routes, as it still allows him to travel conveniently. It also has many options with much more reasonable prices.
Relax in a condo near MRT
The dream condominium near MRT could give you the relaxation you need.
“I choose Metro Luxe Ratchada because the location is not crowded. It is a Low-Rise condominium with lots of greenery surroundings. It is only 500 meters away from MRT station.”
Khun Peem emphasised privacy. Plus relaxing surroundings. Which made us realise we might put too much attention on the ‘outside’ world. Neglecting the life inside the property. Sometimes we focus only on convenient travel. Forgetting that it needs to have a balance. Between travelling conveniently and being able to relax at home. Choosing a condominium along MRT routes could fulfil you with both points.
“I like the design and concept of luxury projects. Still offering good quality of life for the residents. This place has nice facilities with the surrounding greenery. The project also has a 50-meter swimming pool, fitness room, sauna room, space for jogging and for the kids to play and do activities with family.”
Besides the location and reasonable price, the important things that made Khun Peem buy the property in this project are the decoration, surroundings, services, and facilities. It is not crowded as Khun Peem preferred. He can both relax at home and be able to travel conveniently to work or run errands without using as much energy as he used for travelling.
Hunting the right condo.
Searching for the right condominium near MRT station with detailed information.
“When I decided to choose condominium in a more peaceful area, I have to say that it’s quite challenging to do so. Fortunately, I found the DDproperty website. It allowed me to search for new and interesting projects. The website offers reviews and real-life experiences from the users. Making it so much easier for me to find the property of my dreams.”Khun Peem is one of the people who chose a condominium near MRT station. Even if he can go to see the actual places, he chose to find initial information of the properties first to save cost and time. It helps make buying decisions easier and Khun Peem took lesser time before he signed the contract for the property of his dreams.“New searching feature is my favourite about DDproperty website. It is so easy to search for a condominium in a particular area that I want. I needed to pin the location by using searching by sky train station filter. With minimal clicking, a list of projects that suited my needs pops up. I can look at reviews and details of the projects. It is so convenient and cut down a lot of searching time I might have taken without the DDProperty website.”The new feature can be used on www.ddproperty.com. Click the search bar, then type or choose your wanted location and then click ‘searching from the sky train station.’ Click the routes you want and click search. That’s it. It is so easy for a condominium-hunting beginner like Khun Peem to search for his dream place with a few clicks.
Suggestions for people who want to buy a condominium near MRT
“You can start by exploring your lifestyle. Besides the location, what are the things you need for your lifestyle? Then use the ‘New Feature’ on the DDproperty website to search for the property. It gives you a full list of information and eases all the processes before going to visit the actual project. The properties are conveniently accessible because of the sky train. This new tool could help save a lot of time without visiting all the projects you are interested in.”
“Because purchasing many properties requires a lot of money. Especially for properties within the reach of sky train routes. It is important to choose wisely and pick the place that is worth the investment. Start with evaluating your lifestyle. Then consider the condominium near MRT stations that you’re interested in. If it cannot fulfil your lifestyle, then move to the nearby locations. With MRT, travelling becomes more convenient and available across Bangkok and its outskirts. The costs and time in moving nearby are not that much different.”
If the place doesn’t suit what you want or the price is too high, look at nearby locations by using the new feature available on the DDproperty website. Even if you don’t visit every project yourself, you can still find the dream place that fulfilled all your needs.
