Avenue Residence, The Urban, City Garden

[sulu]

I've stayed at the Avenue residence twice for a total of 7 months. Not a bad place at all but I'm thinking I'd like to try one of the other 2.

 

City Gardens is clearly more spread out.

 

Looks like the Urban and City are a tad more expensive for similar accommodations but not so much that it would make a difference in my choice.

 

I should have taken a look at both of them while I was there but I didn't. Oh well.

 

Any opinions on the 3 of them and how they compare ?

I stayed at the urban before and I really liked it. No complaints at all.

Location, location, location.

City Garden had a 31 sqm studio and a larger 44 sqm studio at 25k baht/month.  They had a decent gym and one large pool with sufficient lounge chairs.  Electricity, water and a TV cable charge would be added to the 25k rent.  The 44 sqm studio included a full size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, hot water pot, cooktop, cookware, dishes, and utensils.  The 44 sqm studio had a love seat, end chair, 2 person dining table, queen sized bed, safe, shower, flat screen TV and balcony.  All 3 condos offered more space than a hotel room at a better price, and in a decent location close to a 7/11 and The Avenues shopping center.

 

The Urban did not have studios and was priced from 30k baht/month for 1 bdrm.  The Urban had two pools, but the rooftop pool was accessible only if you were in that building. 

 

I did not like the pool at the Avenues which was surrounded by the buildings because I felt that the sun would be blocked by the building unless the sun was directly overhead.

Stayed in the urban last trip. Was the first time I've rented a condo and I've booked to stay in there again. Brilliant location was also nice and quiet. The laundry service was really good as well no clothes shrunk and when I asked for them to be ready the next day was always told no problem ( I tipped him every time I used him). Only downside for me was the internet wasn't great and sometimes never worked. I stayed in building a looking on to city garden 3 rd floor.

I live in the Urban condo. They recently (August) did an internet upgrade and it seems to be much better - still not perfect but better. I've been here since 2009 and really like it. A good friend lives in City Garden and has good things to say about it also. And has been said before, they're both in a great location.

 

Cheers

Beerman, usually knows what he's talking about..... unless he's been at two for one Vodkas at Oasis. Then he's absolutely useless!

 

Fantastic Soi to live in. Cant recommend it more. Quiet but still close to everything.

How old are those prices ? I've seen some condos, even 1 BRs, available(?) at considerably lower prices lately (20-25K).

 

Funny but I liked the Avenue BECAUSE so little sun hit the pool. It was hot enough even in the shade and I have no need for too much sun,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

City Garden large studio for 25k baht/month is the current price agent quoted for Oct/Nov 2015. 

The Urban 1 bdrm for 30k baht/month was the price agent quoted back in Nov 2014.

These prices are for 1 month rental, but if you book longer stay price may be lower.
