  1. Overview of Thu Thiem New Urban Area: A Shining Gem

Thu Thiem is ideally located on the eastern bank of the Saigon River, opposite the bustling District 1. Planned with a vision to become the new financial, commercial, and cultural center of the city, Thu Thiem possesses outstanding development potential.

With an area of over 657 hectares, Thu Thiem is divided into 8 main functional areas, including a financial center, residential area, commercial service area, cultural entertainment area, and ecological park area. This planning ensures a harmony between living, working, and entertainment spaces, creating an ideal living environment for residents.

In my personal opinion, Thu Thiem is like a "gem" being polished. With strong investment in infrastructure and well-planned planning, this urban area promises to become a new symbol of Ho Chi Minh City in the near future.

2. Assessment of Living Environment: Green, Clean, and Safe?

Green spaces and landscape: Thu Thiem is planned with low construction density, prioritizing green spaces and water surfaces. The large central park, riverside parks, and tree-lined roads create a fresh and airy living space. However, some areas are still under construction, so the green coverage may not be as expected.

Pollution levels: Compared to the central areas of the city, Thu Thiem has significantly lower levels of pollution. However, during construction, noise and dust are inevitable. Once the projects are completed, this situation will improve significantly.

Security and order: Security in Thu Thiem is ensured by a surveillance camera system, a professional security team, and close coordination with the local police force. However, residents still need to raise awareness of protecting personal property.

Resident community: The resident community in Thu Thiem is diverse in nationality and education level. This is an ideal environment for cultural exchange and learning. Community activities are regularly organized, helping to connect residents and build a civilized and friendly community.

From my experience, the living environment in Thu Thiem is quite ideal, especially for those who love green spaces and tranquility. However, to have a perfect living environment, it still requires time and effort from both the government and residents.

3. Assessment of Amenities: Classy and Convenient?

Traffic connectivity: Thu Thiem is connected to other areas of the city through a modern system of bridges, tunnels, and roads. The Thu Thiem Tunnel, Thu Thiem Bridges 1, 2, 3, 4 and Ba Son Bridge make it easy and quick to travel to District 1, Binh Thanh, and neighboring areas. However, during peak hours, traffic congestion still occurs on some roads.

Education system: Thu Thiem has many high-quality international and public schools, meeting the educational needs of residents. AIS International School, BIS, and Tran Dai Nghia High School for the Gifted are top choices for parents.

Healthcare: Vinmec Central Park International Hospital and reputable polyclinics provide high-quality healthcare services to Thu Thiem residents.

Shopping, entertainment, dining: Sala shopping center, luxury restaurants, cafes, and riverside walking streets are attractive destinations for Thu Thiem residents. You can easily find everything you need, from expensive designer items to affordable street food.

Other services: Banks, post offices, supermarkets, and other convenient services are all available in Thu Thiem, fully meeting the daily living needs of residents.

From my personal point of view, the amenities in Thu Thiem are constantly being completed and upgraded. With strong investment from large corporations, this urban area promises to become a leading shopping, entertainment, and dining center of Ho Chi Minh City.

4. Comparison with other areas: Each place has its own beauty

Compared to Phu My Hung, Thu Thiem has the advantage of being closer to the city center. Meanwhile, Thao Dien is famous for its green living space and large expatriate community. District 1 is the economic, cultural, and entertainment center of the city, but lacks green space and a quiet living environment.

Each area has its own advantages and disadvantages, suitable for different customer groups. If you prioritize modernity, convenience, and green space, Thu Thiem is a worthy consideration. If you like the excitement and bustle of the city center, District 1 may be a better choice.

5. Price and investment potential: Golden opportunity?

Real estate prices in Thu Thiem have been increasing in recent years. However, compared to the central areas, prices are still quite competitive. With outstanding development potential, Thu Thiem promises to bring attractive investment opportunities for investors.

According to data from 456.com.vn, apartment prices in Thu Thiem range from 70 million to 200 million VND/m2, depending on the location, area, and amenities of the project. The rental price of a 2-Bedroom (BR) apartment ranges from 20 million to 40 million VND/month.

6. Things to note when choosing to live in Thu Thiem: Consider carefully

Location: Choose a location that suits your commuting and working needs. Projects near main roads will be more convenient for traveling to other areas of the city.

Developer: Learn carefully about the reputation and experience of the developer. Projects developed by reputable developers often have good construction quality and guaranteed progress.

Amenities: Consider the internal and external amenities of the project. Full and modern amenities will help you enjoy a comfortable and convenient life.

Budget: Clearly define your budget and choose a suitable apartment. Don't forget to calculate the costs incurred such as management fees, parking fees, and other living expenses.
