"We chose Masteri Thao Dien specifically for Metro Line 1 access — getting to our District 1 office is now 18 minutes door-to-door, completely traffic-proof. The 2BR unit was well-priced for the location, and the building has held its quality well. Renewed for a second year without hesitation.

1. Masteri An Phu Overview — The Boutique Sister Project
Masteri An Phu is one of Masterise Homes’ most successful boutique-scale developments in Thao Dien Area. Built as the smaller sister project to the original Masteri Thao Dien (which has 3,000+ units), Masteri An Phu was conceived as a more refined, boutique-scale alternative for renters who appreciate Masterise’s build quality but prefer smaller community density.
The development consists of 2 towers (typically labeled A & B) totaling approximately 1,000 apartments, delivered in 2018-2019. The location sits at the An Phu/Thao Dien border — geographically part of the broader Thao Dien expat area, walking distance to ISHCMC, Annam Gourmet, and other Thao Dien amenities.
For renters, Masteri An Phu offers a distinctive position: Masterise Homes’ established build quality at mid-budget pricing. While its newer sister Lumiere Riverside (2022-2024) targets premium tier with smart home and newest finishes, and the older Masteri Thao Dien (2016) competes on scale and value, Masteri An Phu sits comfortably in the middle — newer than Masteri Thao Dien, cheaper than Lumiere Riverside, with boutique 2-tower scale that neither offers.
2. Location & Connectivity
Masteri An Phu sits at the An Phu/Thao Dien border:
- Walk to ISHCMC: 10-15 minutes
- Walk to Annam Gourmet Thao Dien: 8-12 minutes
- Walk to Thao Dien Metro Line 1 station: 12-18 minutes
- Walk to Estella Place mall: 12-15 minutes
- To District 1 (Ben Thanh): 15-22 min by car via Saigon Bridge
- To AIS / BIS / EIS: 8-15 min
- To Tan Son Nhat Airport: 25-30 min
Masteri An Phu’s positioning is slightly more inland than direct-riverside Thao Dien buildings — but compensates with closer walking access to An Phu amenities (Estella Place mall, An Phu Supermarket) and the broader Thao Dien expat infrastructure.
3. What Makes Masteri An Phu Different — The Boutique Position
- Boutique 2-tower scale — smallest among Masterise’s Thao Dien-area projects
- Masterise Homes developer pedigree — same brand as Grand Marina, Lumiere Riverside, Masteri Millennium
- Mid-budget pricing — accessible to dual-income families

What Tenants Say About Thao Dien Area
"Concierge service is responsive and the property management runs the building like a five-star hotel. Maintenance requests are handled same-day, and the gym towel service is a small touch that adds up.
"
"Thao Dien is the easiest landing spot in HCMC for first-time expats. Walking distance to Western groceries, English-speaking dentists, yoga studios, and a community that organically helps newcomers settle in. After three years here I cannot imagine living anywhere else in the city.
