The Western New City refers to the area around Le Hong Phong Road and planned development zones such as VCN and SSH. With steady supply of new apartment complexes, the residential environment is well-organized, and this is the most popular region chosen by Korean residents planning long-term stays.
Who Is This Right For?
- Those planning to stay 6 months or longer
- Family units with children
- Those who work from home or spend long hours indoors
- Those who prefer new or near-new apartment conditions
If beachfront walking lifestyle is your top priority, the city center would be a better fit.
Location and Transportation
Heading west inland from the city center, it is a short distance by Grab motorcycle. Vehicle transportation is needed to reach the beach, but you gain a quiet residential environment away from tourist noise. The roads around residential complexes are wide and well-maintained, making motorcycle commuting less stressful than in the city center.
Monthly Rental Rate Range
Rates vary significantly depending on property condition, apartment complex, and contract duration. Use these as reference ranges only.
- 1-bedroom new apartment: approximately 8–14M VND/month
- 2-bedroom apartment: approximately 11–20M VND/month
- Premium units (high-floor, corner units, etc.): approximately 18M VND/month and above
For the same unit size, you can often find better-conditioned properties at lower prices compared to the city center. However, popular new apartment complexes have vacancies filled quickly, so confirmation on the day of contract is necessary.
Supermarkets, Hospitals, and Living Infrastructure
- Supermarkets: Large supermarkets and shopping facilities in apartment complexes are nearby, making grocery shopping convenient.
- Hospitals: Accessible by car to downtown general hospitals. Pharmacies and clinics are increasing around residential complexes.
- Schools: Good access to international and local schools, advantageous for family residence.
Honest Drawbacks
- Vehicle transportation is required each time you want to visit the beach or tourist attractions. This is not a walkable neighborhood.
- Some areas outside the complexes are still under development, which may cause construction noise.
- Korean restaurants and Korean business districts are less concentrated compared to the city center.
