Houses for Rent

A house can be located in a gated real estate development or be a stand-alone property. Almost all rental houses in Bangkok belong to individual owners who are responsible for the maintenance. Some gated communities offer a clubhouse, swimming pool, playground and gym. There are also Townhouses which are multi-level and terraced. They may have a small rear garden which is not particularly private. In Bangkok, there are some gated townhouse developments which provide facilities such as a pool for residents. Maintenance services in a rented house may not be as good as a well managed rented apartment, especially for stand-alone properties.

Bangkok Apartment Rental Areas: Definition

Sukhumvit Road between Sois 1-63 remains the most popular area for expatriates to live. Most people who rent here tend to rent a Bangkok apartment (single-ownership) or a Bangkok condo.(multi-ownership).

Central Lumpini Apartment Rental
Lumpini is in the Central Business District (CBD), and offers a range of modern buildings with both apartments and condos for rent.
Apartment and condo unit sizes tend to be smaller than in Sukhumvit as well as more expensive. The area also has few single homes or townhouse developments especially with facilities.
Sathorn / Silom Apartment Rental
The Sathorn/ Silom area close to the CBD is popular and again the majority of people rent a Bangkok apartment or condo although there are some homes situated off Sathorn Road.
Riverside / Rama lll Apartment Rental

The Bangkok side of the Chaophraya River has a limited number of apartments/condos for rent. The Thonburi side of the river is less attractive because of the limited number of bridges consequently restricting access to the CBD, although some of the condo buildings provide a free boat service.
East Bangkok
East Bangkok is a major suburban housing location. Popular among parents who want access to the Bangkok Patana School which has a British curriculum and is consequently a favourite among ex-pat apartment renters.
There are also a limited number of housing estates again all popular among expatriates. some offering single homes with clubhouse and swimming pools.
North Bangkok
In contrast to East Bangkok, North Bangkok has the International School of Bangkok (I.S.B.) with an American curriculum. This area is attractive to American expatriates looking for houses to rent.

Nichada Thani, (the most popular housing development and consequently very expensive) is a secure housing estate where I.S.B. is located. Here there are a mix of single houses, condos and townhouses for rent. The site includes a clubhouse offering a wide range of sports facilities.
