Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105: East Bangkok Origin Condo Reviewed

Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105 sits in a stretch of Bangkok that most condo hunters skip over entirely. That's exactly why it deserves a closer look. While everyone fights over the same overpriced studios near Thong Lo and Phrom Phong, this project from Origin Property quietly delivers solid value out near Bearing BTS. If you're the type of renter who cares more about getting a genuine one bedroom for 8,000 to 12,000 THB per month than being five minutes from a rooftop bar, keep reading. This Notting Hill Sukhumvit review breaks down what it's actually like to live here.

Location and Getting Around from Bearing

The condo sits on Sukhumvit 105, which is also known as Soi Lasalle. If that name rings a bell, it's because this area has quietly developed over the past decade with malls, condos, and restaurants popping up along the soi. Bearing BTS is your lifeline here, sitting at the far eastern end of the Sukhumvit Line.

From Bearing, you can reach On Nut in about 10 minutes and Asok in roughly 25 minutes by BTS. That's a perfectly reasonable commute if your office is anywhere along Sukhumvit. A motorcycle taxi from the condo to Bearing BTS runs about 15 to 25 THB depending on time of day, or you can walk it in around 12 minutes.

Picture this: you work at one of the office towers near Ekkamai or Phra Khanong. Your morning commute is a quick moto ride to Bearing, a BTS ride with a seat (because you're boarding near the end of the line), and you're at your desk in under 40 minutes. Meanwhile, you're paying half the rent of someone living two stops from the office. That math works out nicely month after month.

The Building and Unit Quality

Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105 is a typical Origin Property mid rise project. Think clean lines, a modern lobby that looks better than the price tag suggests, and units that are compact but intelligently laid out. Most rental units here are studios or one bedrooms ranging from about 23 to 35 square meters.

The finishes are standard for this price range. Laminate flooring, a small but functional kitchen counter, a built in wardrobe, and a bathroom that doesn't feel like an afterthought. Air conditioning units are included, and most units come furnished by the owner. The quality of furnishing varies wildly from unit to unit, so always ask for recent photos before committing.

One thing that genuinely surprised me was the pool area. For a project at this price point, the common facilities feel a step above. There's a decent swimming pool, a gym with enough equipment to skip a commercial gym membership, and a co working space that actually gets used. If you've ever seen the sad, empty "libraries" in some Bangkok condos, you'll appreciate that people here actually sit down and work in the shared spaces.

Rental Prices and What You Actually Pay

This is where Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105 really shines for renters. Studios here typically list between 6,500 and 9,000 THB per month. One bedroom units go for 8,000 to 13,000 THB depending on the floor, view, and how the owner furnished the place. Compared to a similar sized studio near Udom Suk or On Nut, you're saving anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 THB monthly.

Let's say you're a young professional earning 40,000 to 50,000 THB per month, maybe teaching English or working remotely for a small company. At Notting Hill, your rent eats up less than 20 percent of your income. That leaves real money for food, travel, and actually enjoying Bangkok instead of just surviving in it. Common area fees are handled by the owner in most cases, and electricity runs on MEA rates rather than inflated condo markups at many buildings in the area.

The Neighborhood Beyond the Lobby

Soi Lasalle itself has enough going on that you won't feel stranded. There's a Big C Extra within easy reach for groceries and household supplies. Street food vendors line parts of Sukhumvit 105, and you can find solid pad kra pao or som tum for 40 to 60 THB without walking far from the condo gate.

For a real meal out, Bearing area has a growing number of Japanese restaurants and local Thai spots. The Imperial World Samrong mall is a short BTS hop away at Samrong station, giving you a cinema, shops, and chain restaurants when you want them. It's not the same as having Terminal 21 on your doorstep, but honestly, how often do you really need a mall?

Consider a couple relocating from central Bangkok after their lease ends near Ari. They want to save for a trip home, cut monthly costs, and don't mind being further out. At Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105, they grab a furnished one bedroom for 10,000 THB, eat street food three nights a week, and bank the difference. After six months, they've saved enough for flights and a vacation. That's the kind of lifestyle math this location enables.

Who Should Rent Here and Who Shouldn't

This condo is a strong fit for budget conscious renters, young professionals, remote workers, and couples who don't need to be in the center of the action every night. If you commute along the Sukhumvit BTS line and value saving money over saving five minutes of travel time, it belongs on your shortlist.

It's probably not the best choice if you work in Silom or Sathorn, because the commute involves a transfer and gets long. It's also not ideal if you go out in Sukhumvit Soi 11 or RCA multiple nights a week. Grab rides home from central Bangkok will run 200 to 350 THB late at night, and that adds up fast.

Notting Hill Sukhumvit 105 does exactly what a good budget condo should do. It gives you a clean, modern place to live with real facilities, keeps your monthly costs low, and connects you to the rest of Bangkok through a BTS station that's close enough to be practical.
