Overview
Aspire Ngamwongwan is a high-density residential community that serves as a landmark on the bustling Ngamwongwan Road. Completed around 2016, the project consists of two residential towers (North and South) and a separate parking structure.
Known for its affordability and "resort-style" facilities, it is a favorite among students from nearby Kasetsart University and Dhurakij Pundit University. Unlike many city-center condos, this project offers a distinct "Campus" vibe, with active common areas and a large number of younger residents.
Developer
AP (Thailand) PCL is a market leader in mass-transit condominiums. With the Aspire brand, they target the "Entry-Level" market, focusing on functional room layouts and surprisingly high-quality common areas (gyms/pools) that punch above their price class.

Location & Transit
The project is located on the main road (Ngamwongwan), near the Chinnakhet intersection.
| Station | Line | Distance | ๐ถ Walk | ๐๏ธ Motorbike | ๐ Car |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SRT Bang Khen | Red Line | 1.7km | 20 min | 5 min | 6 min |
| MRT Nonthaburi | Purple Line | 4.5km | N/A | 15 min | 20 min |
| Bus Stop | Public Bus | 0m | 0 min | 0 min | 0 min |
The "Van" Culture: Most residents here rely on public vans (rot-too) and buses that stop directly in front of the building. These provide direct links to Victory Monument, Jatujak (BTS Mo Chit), and The Mall Ngamwongwan.
Nearby Landmarks
- The Mall Ngamwongwan โ 700m (Recently renovated into a lifestyle destination with a water park and high-end dining; walkable in the cooler evenings).
- Pantip Plaza Ngamwongwan โ 1.0km (Famous for IT gadgets and the amulet market).
- Kasetsart University โ 1.5km (A massive demand driver for rentals).
- Vibhavadi Hospital โ 2.5km.
Unit Types
The units are designed to be budget-friendly, often featuring the "closed kitchen" layout which is popular for Thai cooking.
| Type | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom | 28 sqm | The standard unit. Compact but functional. |
| 1 Bed Plus | 35 sqm | Features an extra flexible space often used as a study room. |
Interior Note: Most units are sold fully furnished by the developer. The design is modern but simple, utilizing laminate flooring and standard bathroom fittings.
Facilities
Recreation:
- Swimming Pool: A large free-form pool located on the ground/podium level, surrounded by trees to create privacy from the main road.
- Fitness: The gym is well-equipped for this price point, featuring treadmills, bikes, and free weights.
- Sports: A rare half-basketball court is available for residents.
Parking:
- Separate Building: Parking is housed in a separate 9-storey structure. Residents must walk from the parking tower to the residential towers, which can be inconvenient during heavy rain.
Pros
- Affordability โ Rentals here are very attractive (often 7,000 โ 9,000 THB/month), offering full condo facilities at apartment prices.
- Food & Retail โ The area is surrounded by street food, and the project usually has a 24-hour convenience store (FamilyMart/7-11) onsite.
- The Mall Access โ being walking distance (or a 20-baht motorbike ride) from The Mall Ngamwongwan is a massive lifestyle perk.
Cons
- Traffic โ Ngamwongwan Road is one of the most congested roads in Bangkok. During rush hour, getting in and out of the project by car can be slow.
- Not Near BTS/MRT โ While the Red Line (Bang Khen) helps, it is not a "walkable" train location. You must rely on a motorbike or bus to get to the station.
- Density โ With nearly 1,500 units, the common areas (especially the pool) can get very crowded on weekends.
Best For
- Kasetsart/DPU Students โ Who want a safe, modern place to live near campus.
- First-Jobbers โ Working in Nonthaburi or North Bangkok who want to save money.
- Non-Car Users โ Who are comfortable using the extensive bus network in front of the building.
The Bottom Line
Aspire Ngamwongwan is the "Best Value" condo in the Chinnakhet area. It lacks the luxury of city center projects, but it makes up for it with a vibrant community atmosphere, excellent food options nearby, and a rental price that is hard to beat for a fully-equipped high-rise.
