Key Highlights
- The phrase condos near me only becomes searchable once you translate it into an area name or a station name, because the platform groups units by area and by station rather than by a radius in meters
- Starting rents at station level sit at 10,000 baht per month across Asok, On Nut and Bang Kapi alike, even though sale prices per square meter in those three areas differ sharply
- Sale price per square meter at Asok runs 62 percent above On Nut and double that of Bang Na, according to bambooroutes.com updated 2 April 2026
- Moving your search pin outward therefore changes the maths far more for buyers than for renters, and renters are better served by other criteria than distance alone
How close is near me when you search for condos?
When someone types condos near me into a search box, what they picture is rarely a radius in meters. It is usually something like walking home from the office, or being one station away on the train. The trouble is that this feeling does not translate directly into a search filter. Almost every property platform in Thailand, PropertyScout included, groups units by district, by area and by train station, not by straight-line distance from wherever you happen to be standing.
So the first move in a search that actually works is turning near me into the name of an area or a station. Only then do you narrow with price and size filters. This guide walks through the live numbers in the system right now, how to read the average prices around you, and the criteria that decide between several units sitting at roughly the same distance. If you are moving to Bangkok from abroad, there is also a section covering the two points that apply only to foreign buyers.
How many condos are around you now, and where do prices start?
These figures were pulled from live listing pages on PropertyScout on 14 August 2026. Counts move constantly as listings go up and close, so treat them as a picture of market size rather than a fixed number.
- Condos for rent across Bangkok make up the largest pool on the platform, which is where a search should start before you have settled on an area
- Condos listed for sale across Bangkok cover the same areas and stations as the rental pages, so the same area search works on either side
- The rental side carries roughly 2.9 times as many listings as the sale side, which means that if you are not yet sure how long you will stay, renting simply gives you more choice inside the same area
One thing worth knowing before reading any of the numbers below. A starting price is the lowest-priced unit still available in that group at that moment, not an average of the group. Units priced at the floor are usually few and usually go quickly, so setting your budget exactly at the starting figure tends to leave you finding nothing.
What are the three ways to search for condos near you?
Use your current location when the area is new to you
Letting the browser share your current location suits the moment when you are standing outside a building or walking an unfamiliar area, because you do not need to know the district or station name first. The limitation is that results are tied to wherever the device reads you as being. If you are sitting at your desk in Sathorn while hunting for a place near your partner's office in Ratchada, this method sends you straight to the wrong side of town.
Type an area, station or landmark once you know where you want to be
This is the more accurate route for anyone with a target in mind. If all you know is the name of an office building or a mall you visit often, open a map first and find the nearest station, then search on that station name. Station pages are the narrowest unit the platform groups listings into, which makes searching by station the closest available match to what near me really means.
Apply price, size, bedroom and buy or rent filters last
The order that wastes the least time is area first, budget second. Going the other way around cuts out areas that genuinely do have units within your range, particularly areas where smaller units sit inside the same buildings as larger ones. Filter to a place, see what the place costs, then decide.
How do you read the average prices around you?
Sale price per square meter by area
The Bangkok-wide average sits at 197,000 baht per square meter. The figures below come from bambooroutes.com, updated 2 April 2026. They are useful for comparing the price level of one area against another, though any individual unit can sit well away from the area average depending on floor, orientation and building age.
| Area | Sale price per square meter |
|---|---|
| Chidlom and Langsuan | 267,000 baht |
| Silom and Saladaeng | 252,000 baht |
| Thonglor | 246,000 baht |
| Sathorn and Chong Nonsi | 229,000 baht |
| Asok | 214,000 baht |
| Ari | 175,000 baht |
| Rama 9 | 163,000 baht |
| On Nut | 132,000 baht |
| Bang Na | 107,000 baht |
Starting rents by area on our own platform
This set was pulled live on 14 August 2026 and shows the starting figure for each group, not the average. What stands out is how little the starting figure moves when the area changes, in sharp contrast to sale prices per square meter, which move a great deal.
| Area | Depth of rental choice | How the entry point compares |
|---|---|---|
| Bangkok overall | The full pool across every area and station | The citywide entry point that the other rows are measured against |
| Sukhumvit | The deepest pool of any single area | Matches the citywide entry point |
| BTS Asok | A large pool at station level | One step above the citywide entry point |
| MRT Rama 9 | A pool close in size to Asok | Not confirmed in this round, so check the station page |
| BTS On Nut | A narrower pool than Asok or Rama 9 | One step above the citywide entry point |
| Bang Kapi | A smaller pool than Sukhumvit | One step above the citywide entry point |
Why does moving your pin outward matter more to buyers than renters?
Put the two sets of figures above side by side and something emerges that ordinary listing pages never mention. Asok, On Nut and Bang Kapi all share the same starting rent of 10,000 baht per month, yet Asok sells at 214,000 baht per square meter against On Nut at 132,000 baht, a gap of 62 percent. Set Asok against Bang Na at 107,000 baht and the gap is exactly double.
Translated into money on a 35 square meter unit, the picture gets sharper. A unit at Asok comes to roughly 7,490,000 baht. The same size at On Nut comes to roughly 4,620,000 baht, a difference of 2,870,000 baht. At Bang Na it is roughly 3,745,000 baht, which is 3,745,000 baht below Asok. On the rental side, moving from Asok to On Nut does not lower the rent floor by a single baht.
Two conclusions follow, and both are usable today. If you are buying, shifting your search pin one or two stations outward is the single most effective budget tool available to you, and it does more for your budget than shrinking the unit in the same area. If you are renting, chasing distance to save money returns less than most people expect. Unit size, building age, common area fees and real door-to-door travel time deserve your attention instead.
There is a further consequence of these numbers that often slips past buyers. A 35 square meter unit at Asok at roughly 7,490,000 baht sits above the 7 million baht ceiling of the measure that cuts the transfer registration fee to 0.01 percent, which the cabinet extended on 30 June 2026 through to 30 June 2027. The transfer registration fee on that unit therefore reverts to the standard 2 percent, around 149,800 baht. The same size unit at On Nut at roughly 4,620,000 baht stays under the ceiling and pays around 462 baht. That is a gap of roughly 149,338 baht from one line item alone. Note that this measure applies to Thai individual buyers, so foreign buyers pay the standard rate either way.

Units available right now within your radius
This section is a listing block that pulls genuinely available units and shows the distance from your location. Every unit shown has been through duplicate removal, carries a badge showing whether the listing has been confirmed with the owner, and displays the date it was last updated. In the meantime you can browse the full sets on the Bangkok condos for rent page and the Bangkok condos for sale page.
How do you choose when several units sit at a similar distance?
This is where most searches stall, and it is exactly what a listing page cannot help with. Once you have filtered down to units in the same area, at similar budgets and similar sizes, the three criteria below are what separate a place you settle into happily from one you regret six months later.
Real walking distance to the train and bus stops, not the straight line on a map
A map measures a straight line. You walk on pavements and cross roads. A unit listed 300 meters from a station can turn into a 600 meter walk once a footbridge detour is involved. The check you can run yourself is simple. Stand at the building entrance at the hour you would actually be leaving, walk to the station and time it. Do it twice, once on a weekday morning and once in the evening, because some pavements fill with stalls after dark and stop being walkable.
The unit's price per square meter against the area average
Divide the asking price by the usable area, then compare it against the area figures above. If it sits well above the area average, ask what justifies it. A higher floor, an open view, a newer building. If nobody can answer, that is room to negotiate. If it sits unusually far below the average, check for west-facing afternoon sun, a floor directly above the shared facilities, or a unit next to the rubbish room or facing the lift lobby.
Common area fees and building age, the costs people forget to add
Common area fees in the market run roughly 23 to 75 baht per square meter per month, while sansiri.com, updated 24 November 2025, puts the range at 40 to 85 baht per square meter per month. The two sources draw on different pools of projects, so ask the building for its actual rate rather than guessing. At a mid-range 50 baht per square meter per month, a 35 square meter unit pays around 1,750 baht per month, or 21,000 baht per year.
On building age, the question worth asking is not the year of completion. It is when the lifts and water pumps were last replaced or overhauled, and how much the building holds in its sinking fund. Those two answers decide whether the common area fee is about to rise. One more document to request early is the debt-free certificate for common area fees, since leaving it until transfer day is a reliable way to have transfer day postponed.
Search for condos near me by popular area
The entries below follow an identical order of points. Rental counts and starting rents were pulled live on 14 August 2026, while sale prices per square meter come from bambooroutes.com.
Sukhumvit
Sukhumvit is the stretch most newcomers picture when they imagine living in Bangkok, with a station every few hundred metres from Asok out past On Nut. It is the easiest place to start when you want the widest field to compare, so open condos for rent in Sukhumvit and work inward from there.
- Rental choice, the deepest pool of any single area covered in this guide
- Starting rent, 8,000 baht per month
- Sale price per square meter along this corridor, Asok at 214,000 baht and On Nut at 132,000 baht
- Suits people working anywhere along Sukhumvit who want the widest choice inside one area, and it is the area most familiar to newly arrived expats
Bang Kapi
Bang Kapi is the side of the city that university students and office workers on the Yellow Line know best, with campuses, markets and malls sitting close together. If your week runs along that line, condos for rent in Bang Kapi deserve a place on the shortlist.
- Rental choice, a smaller pool than Sukhumvit with steady supply along the Yellow Line
- Starting rent, 10,000 baht per month
- Sale price per square meter for this area has no figure confirmed from the same source, so none is stated
- Suits people studying or working on the eastern side of the city who rely on the Yellow Line
Search for condos near me by train station
Station pages are the narrowest grouping the platform offers, which makes them the closest match to what near me means in practice. The entries below follow an identical order of points.
BTS Asok
Asok is the point where the BTS crosses the MRT, which is why so many tenants treat it as the default answer to near me. If your meetings move around the city, condos for rent near BTS Asok keep almost every office district within a single ride.
- Rental choice, one of the larger pools at station level
- Starting rent, 10,000 baht per month
- Sale price per square meter, 214,000 baht
- The draw is the BTS and MRT interchange, plus office districts reachable on foot without changing trains
MRT Rama 9
Rama 9 has grown into an office and shopping cluster of its own, close enough to the centre to stay convenient without sitting inside Sukhumvit. Anyone weighing convenience against price should look at condos for rent near MRT Rama 9 before deciding.
- Rental choice, close in size to Asok at station level
- Starting rent, check the current figure on the station page, as it could not be confirmed in this round
- Sale price per square meter, 163,000 baht
- The draw is a unit count close to Asok at a sale price per square meter around 24 percent lower
BTS On Nut
On Nut is where Sukhumvit starts to feel like a neighbourhood, with everyday markets and shops at street level and a short ride into town. It suits people who would rather spend a few extra minutes on the train than on rent, so it is worth browsing condos for rent near BTS On Nut.
- Rental choice, a narrower pool than Asok or Rama 9 while still leaving plenty to compare
- Starting rent, 10,000 baht per month
- Sale price per square meter, 132,000 baht
- The draw is the widest gap in this group between purchase price and starting rent, which makes it the point where buyers gain most from moving the pin
What two extra rules apply only to foreign buyers?
The first concerns what you are allowed to own. Foreign nationals can hold freehold title to condominium units up to a combined 49 percent of the total unit floor area in a building. The quota is calculated on floor area, not on the number of units, so a larger unit consumes more of it. Ask the project in writing how much of the foreign quota remains for the specific unit you are considering, and ask again if your transfer date moves, since the quota can be taken up while you wait.
The second concerns how the money arrives. Funds for the purchase should be transferred into Thailand in foreign currency, and for amounts above 50,000 US dollars the receiving bank issues a Foreign Exchange Transaction form, with a bank certificate or credit note used for smaller amounts. The name and stated purpose on the bank paperwork need to match the name going on the title. Worth noting alongside the earlier point about the transfer fee reduction, foreign buyers pay the standard fee rate regardless of price, which does remove the 30 June 2027 deadline pressure and leaves more room to negotiate a later transfer date than a Thai buyer racing that date would have.
Frequently asked questions about condos near me
Where can I find condos near me
On PropertyScout. Open the Bangkok condos for rent page or the Bangkok condos for sale page, then either allow the browser to share your current location or type in the nearest area or station name. Every listing has been through duplicate removal, and the platform is free for buyers and tenants.
Is searching by current location more accurate than typing an area name
Not always. Current location wins when you are physically standing in the area you want. If you are searching from your office for a place somewhere else, typing the station name closest to your target gives a truer result, because the platform already groups units into station and area pages.
Does a starting rent of 8,000 baht per month mean I can find a unit at that price anywhere
No. A starting rent is the lowest-priced unit still available in that group at the moment you look. It is neither an average nor a promise that units at that price will be there to choose from. The Bangkok-wide and Sukhumvit-level figures sit at the same entry point, while station-level areas such as Asok, On Nut and Bang Kapi start higher.
How much does moving further out actually save
It depends on whether you are renting or buying. Buying saves a lot. A 35 square meter unit at Asok runs roughly 7,490,000 baht, while the same size at On Nut runs roughly 4,620,000 baht, a difference of 2,870,000 baht. Renting barely changes, since the starting rent at both stations is 10,000 baht per month.
What should I prepare before a viewing
Three things. Time to walk from the building to the station yourself with a stopwatch running. The area's price per square meter, so you can measure the asking price against it. And a question about the building's actual common area fee rate along with the maintenance history of the lifts and water pumps. None of it takes long to prepare and all of it improves the decision more than anything else you could do in the same time.
Summary
Start by turning near me into an area or station name, then apply price and size filters. Use the area's price per square meter as your yardstick against any asking price. Finish by walking the route yourself with a stopwatch before you commit. If you are buying, try shifting the pin one or two stations outward first, since this data set shows it to be the most effective budget lever available. If you are renting, put that same energy into comparing unit size, building age and common area fees instead.
