“A well-planned, modern city area Clean and organized streets and buildings Popular malls and cafés such as Crescent Mall and The Crescent Walk Beautiful lake and parks for leisure Home to many expatriates and high-end residents”
The Phu My Hung, located in the south of Ho Chi Minh City, is a new urban zone that was systematically developed by a foreign corporation in the 1990s. It has since become the city's premium residential and business hub.
This area is characterized by its orderly urban planning, wide roads lined with mature trees, and modern, clean buildings. It offers a stark contrast to the busy, older cityscape of central Ho Chi Minh, making it ideal for those seeking a tranquil yet convenient environment for living.
Within Phu My Hung, amenities are comprehensive, including major shopping centers like Crescent Mall and SC VivoCity, numerous international restaurants, charming cafes, and several international schools. It also features significant green spaces such as Crescent Lake and large public parks, which are perfect for walking or cycling.
The district is also home to a large expatriate community, particularly Koreans, Japanese, and Europeans. This contributes to its international atmosphere, with many foreign restaurants and imported goods supermarkets available.
In the evening, the area comes alive with people relaxing by the lake, strolling along The Crescent Walk, or dining at upscale restaurants along the streets. This makes Phu My Hung a luxurious retreat that perfectly blends modernity with lush greenery.
