The Aurora Phu My Hung vs The Peak Garden: Which District 7 Apartment? (Foreigner Guide 2026)
District 7 — and its master-planned township Phu My Hung — is the long-time home of the Korean and Japanese communities in Ho Chi Minh City, and a top choice for foreign families. Two apartment projects foreign buyers often compare here are The Aurora (Phu My Hung Corporation) and The Peak Garden (Hung Loc Phat Group). Both are in District 7 / Phu My Hung but differ in developer, handover timing and price. This guide compares them on the points that matter to a foreign buyer: price, developer, delivered-versus-off-plan status, unit types, the foreign quota and who each suits.
This is general information, not investment advice. The Peak Garden is under construction, so confirm real progress and the legal file. Prices, quota availability and inventory change over time — verify the current status of the specific unit with Happy Land and your own lawyer before deciding.

The biggest difference: near-delivered versus brand-new
- The Aurora is further along — handover is underway (from Q4 2025), so you can inspect the real unit and move in or lease sooner. It is also developed by Phu My Hung Corporation, the master developer of the Phu My Hung township, which gives it a central location and brand reassurance many foreign buyers value. It offers a wider unit range (1–3BR plus a Tophouse), with a lower entry from ~3.6 billion VND.
- The Peak Garden is under construction, with handover expected around Q2 2027. It focuses on larger 2–3BR family layouts, at a higher entry from ~4.8 billion VND. Being off-plan, it comes with a wait and the usual future-formed-property checks.
In short: The Aurora = near-delivered, Phu My Hung Corp, wider range, lower entry; The Peak Garden = brand-new family units, worth the wait.
Foreigners & legal status
Both sell within the 30%-per-building foreign quota, 50-year leasehold. Phu My Hung is one of the most sought-after areas for foreign buyers, so the foreign quota in popular projects fills up quickly — check the remaining foreign quota for the exact unit early. The Aurora, with handover underway, lets you inspect real stock; for The Peak Garden, being off-plan, review the buying process and the developer’s bank guarantee.
Who should choose which?
Choose The Aurora if you: want to move in or lease sooner, value being developed by Phu My Hung Corporation in a central Phu My Hung location, prefer a wider choice of layouts (1–3BR + Tophouse), and want a lower entry (~3.6 billion VND).
Choose The Peak Garden if you: want a brand-new, larger family unit (2–3BR), and can wait to around Q2 2027 for handover (~4.8 billion VND).

Conclusion
The Aurora and The Peak Garden are both District 7 / Phu My Hung apartments in the heart of the expat community, but they serve different needs. The Aurora is strongest on near-delivered stock, the Phu My Hung Corporation brand, a wider range and a lower entry, while The Peak Garden is strongest on brand-new family units (in exchange for waiting to ~2027 at a higher entry). The right answer depends on your timing, unit-size needs and budget. This article is general information, not investment advice.

Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper, The Aurora or The Peak Garden?
The Aurora has a lower entry, indicatively from around 3.6 billion VND, while The Peak Garden is indicatively from around 4.8 billion VND. The Aurora also offers a wider range (1–3BR plus a Tophouse), whereas The Peak Garden focuses on larger 2–3BR family layouts. All figures are indicative and change by unit and floor — confirm the current price with Happy Land.
Which one can I move into sooner?
The Aurora is further along: handover is underway (from Q4 2025), so you can inspect the actual unit and move in or lease sooner. The Peak Garden is under construction with handover expected around Q2 2027, so it is off-plan. If moving in sooner and seeing a finished unit matter, The Aurora has the advantage; if you prefer a newer family unit and can wait, The Peak Garden fits.
Does the developer matter here for a foreign buyer?
It can. The Aurora is developed by Phu My Hung Corporation — the master developer that built the Phu My Hung township itself — so its central Phu My Hung location and brand reassurance appeal to many foreign buyers. The Peak Garden is by Hung Loc Phat Group. Both are credible; always verify the selling entity and the legal file per project before you commit.
Can foreigners buy both projects?
Yes, both sell within the foreigner framework (50-year leasehold, up to the 30% per-building quota). Phu My Hung is very popular with foreign buyers (especially the Korean and Japanese communities), so the foreign quota tends to fill up quickly — check the remaining quota early with Happy Land. Foreigners can buy apartments only, not land or townhouses.
What should I check before buying The Peak Garden (handover ~2027)?
Because it is a future-formed property with a wait, verify real construction progress, the licence to sell a future-formed property, the developer's bank guarantee for the handover obligation, and the staged payment schedule. The 'expected 2027' date can shift — pay only on the contractual schedule and review the contract carefully.
