Frequently asked questions
Why do foreigners choose Thao Dien and An Phu?
Thao Dien and An Phu (in Thu Duc City, former District 2) have long been the expat heartland of HCMC: international schools, riverside greenery, cafes and a large established foreign community, plus quick access to District 1 and Metro Line 1. This keeps both resale liquidity and rental demand from expats relatively strong — though prices here are among the highest in the city.
Can foreigners buy apartments in Thu Duc City?
Yes. Foreigners can buy apartments within the 30% cap per building, held as a 50-year leasehold (extension possible under current regulations). Thu Duc has the widest choice of foreign-eligible premium projects in HCMC. Foreigners cannot own land, townhouses or villas — only apartments. Contact Happy Land to check the remaining foreign quota of each project.
