Nordic Terrace

Nordic Terrace is a low-rise, resort-style condominium on Pratamnak Hill in Pattaya. Completed in 1999, it is one of the earlier residential projects in the area: a single 6-storey building with a small number of apartments. Nordic Terrace condominium in Pratamnak, Pattaya is defined by its large terraces, generously sized apartments and a tropical garden with a pool at the centre of the property.

Location

The building sits on Pratamnak Soi 4, in a cul-de-sac with no through traffic. The sea is about 600 m away by map: the nearest stretch of shore is the small beach by the Asia Pattaya hotel, with Cosy Beach a little further north. The hotel also has a nine-hole golf course. The hilltop has a viewpoint and the Big Buddha temple, and on the far side of the hill are Walking Street and Bali Hai Pier; central Pattaya is about 2 km away. Songthaews (shared pick-up taxis) run along Thappraya Road between Pattaya and Jomtien. The neighbourhood has plenty of cafés and restaurants, while residents head to the malls of central and south Pattaya for bigger shopping trips.

Facilities

• communal swimming pool with a sun terrace and loungers;
• tropical garden;
• gym;
• covered parking;
• 24-hour security.

The list is restrained, with no entertainment areas: the building is meant for quiet living, not holiday traffic. Some agencies also mention an on-site café and laundry, which is best confirmed at a viewing.

Apartments

Nordic Terrace offers apartments with one to four bedrooms, including penthouses on the upper floors. Floor areas are well above the Pattaya norm: one-bedroom units start at 68 sq m (More Property has one in its catalogue), while two- and three-bedroom apartments reach 170–200 sq m. Almost every apartment has a wide terrace facing the garden and pool, and some upper-floor units have sea views. The building is more than two decades old, so the condition and finish of each individual unit deserve a close look.

Who it suits

People choose Nordic Terrace for permanent living and long winter stays: the large floor areas and terraces feel closer to a house than to a typical resort apartment. It suits families, older couples and anyone who spends a lot of time at home and values quiet and greenery. The beach is a walk away, so buyers who want a beachfront address should look at other projects. For letting, the format is aimed at long-term tenants. As in any Thai condominium, up to 49% of the total unit area can be registered in foreign freehold ownership (the foreign quota), with the rest held under the Thai quota or through a company.
