Urban Green Apartments for Rent — Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City

1. Urban Green Overview — New-Build Value in Thu Duc

Where most of HCMC’s established expat compounds sit in Binh Thanh, Thao Dien or the older District 2 clusters, Urban Green takes a different position: a brand-new, mid-priced development on the calmer Thu Duc side of the Saigon River. Developed by Kusto Home, it occupies roughly 2.02 hectares on Street No. 6 in Hiep Binh Phuoc (an area formerly under Thu Duc City), about 100 metres from National Highway 13.

The project is built as two towers — The Bliss and The Aster — rising 23 floors over a shared podium, for a total of around 735 apartments in layouts from one to four bedrooms, plus garden units and shophouses. Handover began in 2024, with structural topping-out completed in early 2026, so units are new and amenities are fresh rather than worn.

For renters, the appeal is simple: modern apartments at noticeably lower rents than the central districts, in a greener, lower-density setting next to the Van Phuc City riverside township. It suits people whose routine centres on Thu Duc, Binh Duong or the Highway 13 corridor, and anyone who would rather have a new, spacious unit than a central address.

3. The Bliss & The Aster — Towers and Design

Urban Green is arranged as two residential towers sharing a landscaped podium:

• The Bliss and The Aster — 23 floors each, ~735 apartments combined, with efficient, light-filled layouts aimed at owner-occupiers and long-term tenants rather than short-stay investors.
• Moderate density, green setting: at ~2.02 ha with two towers, the design leans on landscaping and a shared amenity deck rather than sheer height.
• New-build condition: with handover from 2024 and topping-out in early 2026, lifts, lobbies, finishes and the amenity deck are all new — a genuine advantage over older compounds where common areas show wear.

Apartments come in a practical range of sizes (detailed below), from compact one-bedrooms suited to individuals and couples up to large three-bedrooms for families, plus a limited number of garden apartments and ground-floor shophouses.

4. Apartment Layouts & Sizes

Larger four-bedroom and duplex-style layouts also exist in limited numbers. Most units are handed over with a basic fit-out; many are offered fully furnished by individual landlords (see pricing below).

5. Urban Green Rental Prices (2026)

Figures are typical asking rents as of 2026 (USD converted at roughly 26,000 VND/USD). Rent varies with floor, view, tower and the quality of furnishing — fully furnished units typically run 2–4 million VND/month above unfurnished. The 2BR ECO is the most-requested layout for its balance of space and price; garden and shophouse units are limited and quoted case by case.

6. Amenities & Facilities

Urban Green’s amenity deck is concentrated on the podium (level 3), arranged into three zones — children’s play, leisure gardens and the pool:

• 🏊 Resort-style swimming pool — using an eco salt-electrolysis system instead of heavy chlorine
• 💪 Fitness centre / gym
• 🌿 Rooftop and podium gardens — including a BBQ garden and a yoga lawn
• 👶 Children’s play areas — dedicated kids’ zones
• 🏠 Clubhouse / community space
• 🅿️ Basement parking below the towers
• 🔒 24/7 security — gated access and CCTV
• 🌊 Riverside setting — next to Van Phuc City’s waterfront and green space

For larger-scale retail, dining and entertainment, the adjacent Van Phuc City township fills the gap a brand-new compound’s on-site retail does not yet cover.

7. Advantages of Urban Green

• ✅ Brand-new apartments — fresh finishes, new lifts and an untouched amenity deck
• ✅ Strong value — modern 1–3BR units well below central-district rents
• ✅ Resort-style salt-water pool and green podium gardens
• ✅ Quiet, lower-density, riverside setting next to Van Phuc City
• ✅ Practical layouts — efficient 1BR up to genuinely family-sized 3BR
• ✅ Highway 13 access toward Binh Thanh and central HCMC
• ✅ Great for Thu Duc / Binh Duong commuters and value-minded families

8. Disadvantages to Consider

• ❌ Away from the centre — District 1 is a 30–40 min drive in peak traffic
• ❌ Highway 13 congestion at rush hour is a real factor
• ❌ No nearby metro — a motorbike or car is needed for daily errands
• ❌ New community still filling in — resident services and the secondary rental pool are still maturing
• ❌ Fewer international services on the doorstep than Thao Dien (partly offset by Van Phuc City)
• ❌ Not ideal if you need a daily District 1 presence

9. Who Should Rent at Urban Green?

Urban Green is ideal for:

• Value-minded couples and small families who want a new, modern apartment
• Professionals working in Thu Duc, along Highway 13, or toward Binh Duong
• Renters who prefer a quiet, green, riverside setting over a busy central address
• Anyone who wants more space and newer finishes for their budget
• Residents who value the adjacent Van Phuc City for dining, riverfront and weekends

Urban Green is NOT ideal for:

• Renters who need to be in District 1 every day (consider Vinhomes Central Park for a more central riverside option)
• Those who want a dense international expat scene on the doorstep (consider Thao Dien)
• Metro-dependent commuters
• Renters who need a deep, established secondary rental market

10. Urban Green vs Nearby Alternatives

In short: choose Urban Green for newer apartments and lower rent on the Thu Duc side; choose the Binh Thanh compounds if a shorter commute into District 1 matters more than price.

11. FAQ — Urban Green Apartments

Q1: How much does it cost to rent at Urban Green?

Typical asking rents run from about $330/month (around 8.5 million VND) for an unfurnished 1BR up to about $885/month (around 23 million VND) for a fully furnished 3BR. Garden and shophouse units are priced individually.

Q2: Are the apartments furnished?

Both options exist. Basic/unfurnished units sit at the lower end of each range; fully furnished units typically cost around 2–4 million VND/month more and are ready to move into.

Q3: Where exactly is Urban Green?

On Street No. 6 in Hiep Binh Phuoc, Thu Duc (formerly Thu Duc City), about 100 metres off National Highway 13 and right next to the Van Phuc City riverside township.

Q4: Is Urban Green a good choice for families?

Yes for value-minded families — the 2BR-large and 3BR layouts are spacious, the compound is new and quiet, and the salt-water pool, gardens and kids’ zones suit children. Van Phuc City next door covers dining and weekend outings.

Q5: How new is the building?

Very new — handover began in 2024 and structural topping-out was completed in early 2026, so finishes, lifts and amenities are fresh.

Q6: Is it suitable for expats working in District 1?

It can work if you don’t commute daily — Highway 13 reaches Binh Thanh and District 1, but peak traffic is real and there is no nearby metro. Daily-D1 commuters often prefer Binh Thanh or Thao Dien.

Q7: How quickly can I view and move in?

VietnamRenty can usually arrange viewings within a few days and a move-in shortly after deposit. Tell us your bedroom count, budget and furnishing preference and we’ll send a shortlist.
