Currently there are 8 View talay projects in Jomtien and Pattaya. With View talay 8 due to be completed by the middle of 2010. So I thought it was time to look once again at where it all started some 15 years ago with View talay 1.
This condominium complex was the first to be built and when finished was an instant success. As one of the first modern condominium complexes in Jomtien Pattaya its designers introduced many interesting features such as shopping areas on the ground floor of both buildings and a large swimming pool sat between them. The pool is much larger than most other condominium projects in Pattaya and there is also a restaurant area serving food and refreshments. Being surrounded by shrubbery and palm trees the pool has a very relaxed feel about it
View talay 1 is a 15 story building and from the mid to high floors gives good views of Jomtien and Pattaya. The standard room size is 32sqm. Many owners have bought rooms side by side so it is possible to rent 64 and 96 sqm apartments.
In the last two years both buildings 1A and 1B have under gone a complete refurbishment program, with many improvements both inside and outside been undertaken. All this is good news if you're looking to rent an apartment in Jomtien Pattaya. View talay's 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 are all more expensive to rent because they are newer and offer slightly bigger room sizes but View talay 1 since its refurbishment is equally as pleasant to stay and if your budget is not vast well worth considering. Below is a list of pro's and con's and when you consider the difference in price View talay 1 is not so bad at all as a holiday rental.
Con's:
15 minute walk to the beach
Room size: 32sqm
Pro's:
Relatively cheap rent
Large swimming pool
24hr Security
Key card entry
Easy access to Pattaya
Newly refurbished
Children's play area
Various shops and internet
Car and motor bike hire
The cost of renting a 32sqm apartment in View talay 1 varies between 7500Baht to 15000Baht for something special. Compare that to renting a 48sqm apartment say in View talay 5 at 18 - 23000Baht a month.
Location, location, location. Yes location is important. View talay 1 may not be as close to the beach as some others but you do have easy access to the baht buses that pass by the main entrance every few minutes. From the entrance you can walk down to the beach at Jomtien. No more than 15 minutes or! For just 10Baht, catch a Baht bus and be at Jomtien beach in less than 5 minutes. By baht bus from the main entrance, Pattaya is only 10 minutes away. Yes location is important and View talay 1 is in one of the best.
