The core “method” is essentially a cost-to-features comparison.

    • Access to transit (e.g., BTS distance, shuttle availability)
    • Facilities & amenities (co-working, gyms, pools, rooftop areas, etc.)
    • Unit size & included furnishing
    • Pros/cons (noise, distance, lifestyle fit, standout features like a bathtub)
