Hillside 2 is a 228-unit condo across 10 floors, built in 2007 by V Group (same developer as Hillside 3 and 4). It sits directly on Nimmanhaemin Road — not on a soi, not nearby, but literally on the main drag. There's a 7-Eleven in the building lobby. Zero communal amenities: no pool, no gym, no laundry room. What you get is the location and the price. Based on property listing data and Booking.com guest reviews, the building is described as "well managed and secure" with units scoring 9.3/10 for location. A trend of "luxury retrofits" across the Hillside buildings means some units have been gutted and fully modernized while others still have original 2007 interiors — the gap between a good unit and a bad unit here is enormous.
“The cheapest way to live directly on Nimman Road. No pool, no gym, no frills — but a 7-Eleven literally in the lobby and everything on Nimman at your doorstep. Unit quality varies wildly because individual owners renovate at different times — some look fresh, others still have 2007 finishes. Always ask to see the actual unit before signing. If you want amenities, Hillside 3 on Soi 8 has a gym, included WiFi, and bigger units for similar money. Hillside 4 on Huay Kaew has two pools. This one is for people who want location above all else.”
Expat Tips
•Studios from 10,000 THB directly on Nimman is the cheapest you'll find in this location. Negotiate hard for 3+ month stays
•Ask for a north or east-facing unit on floors 4-10 to avoid traffic noise from the main road. One Booking.com guest confirmed Doi Suthep mountain views from the quiet side
•No building WiFi — arrange your own ISP. AIS Fibre or True Online are the main options in Nimman (590-1,200 THB/month for 100Mbps-1Gbps). For stays under a year, internet dongles from the lobby 7-Eleven work as a stopgap
•Laundry, restaurants, massage, and cafes are all within 40 meters of the building entrance. Maya Mall is about a 600m walk
•Electric at 5 THB/unit is near the government rate — unusually fair for a Nimman condo. Most nearby buildings charge 7-8 THB
Gotchas
•No pool, no gym, no communal facilities at all. Hillside 3 down Soi 8 has a gym, yoga studio, included WiFi, and bigger units. Hillside 4 on Huay Kaew has two pools and a restaurant. Both are in the same price range
•Nimman-facing units get significant traffic noise — motorbikes, songthaews, late-night bar crowds. Insist on a quiet-side unit
•Building is 19 years old. Common areas look dated. Expect renovation noise from other units being gutted — this is an ongoing issue across all Hillside buildings, especially April-October
•Unit condition depends entirely on the individual owner. Some are beautifully renovated, others look untouched since 2007. Always view the actual unit, not just photos
•Parking is limited if you have a car
