Nice Location
New City Thu Thiem boasts an unbeatable location in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 2. Situated on Mai Chi Tho Street, it offers quick access to key areas: 10 minutes from District 1 and Thao Dien, 5 minutes to Central Park, and 20 minutes from Tan Son Nhat Airport.
Modern Apartments with Varied Amenities
New City Thu Thiem offers four apartment buildings: Babylon, Bali, Hawaii, and Venice. Babylon, the quietest option, sits further back from the main road, reducing noise and dust. It also houses a convenient Ministop on the ground floor. Venice, similar in location, has fewer amenities, relying on Babylon and Bali for shops and cafes.
Standing Out from the Crowd
New City, developed by Thuan Viet, a construction company known for quality builds, boasts a unique and luxurious design. The project stands out from the surrounding, still-developing Thu Thiem area. Currently, only New City and the Duc Khai project are populated, creating a bustling atmosphere within New City itself, while the broader area remains quiet.
Limited External Amenities (But Improving!)
Previously, external shopping options were limited. Thankfully, the recent opening of Emart Sala provides more variety. However, commuting can be tiring due to narrow streets like Luong Dinh Cua and potholes on Nguyen Hoang. Additionally, the poorly lit route at night might feel unsafe.
Compensating with Diverse Internal Offerings
New City makes up for limited external options with a plethora of internal amenities. Two swimming pools cater to different preferences: a scenic underground pool and a second-floor pool in Babylon. A large internal park, a preschool, and a spacious, well-equipped Miami Sport Club (membership separate) cater to families and fitness enthusiasts.
Beyond the gym, residents enjoy outdoor and indoor facilities like a lap pool, children’s pool, playground, BBQ pits, and a sauna. The project also boasts various shops and cafes in the Bali Tower, including popular names like Highland Coffee, Tobby Coffee, and Korean BBQ restaurants. These well-designed shophouses offer a relaxing atmosphere with pleasant views.
In Conclusion: A High-Quality Choice with Considerations
New City Thu Thiem presents a compelling option for those seeking a well-located, modern apartment with excellent amenities. However, be mindful of the slightly inconvenient access to District 1 upon return and the limited (but improving) external options.
