More and more foreigners moving to reside in HCM City’s South Saigon area
Without the turmoils that plague many other countries and with its burgeoning economy, Việt Nam has become a magnet for foreigners. According to a report from the Ministry of Planning and Investment, nearly 90,000 foreigners work in the country.
Finding an accommodation is the first thing to do when there is an intent to settle down in a country. For a foreigner, a peaceful place near nature with fresh air in a city is a priority.
Indian Sudeep Bansal and his wife have been in Việt Nam since 2006. Despite working in Bình Dương Province, he has chosen to live in an apartment in Phú Mỹ Hưng City Centre in HCMCity’s District 7 for years.
He said: “We need a place that offers us all amenities like education, healthcare and banks. It is also safe and clean. In Bình Dương, it is just an accommodation.
“But here in Phú Mỹ Hưng City Centre, we have a self-contained hub where my family members can satisfy their various demands. It offers all amenities that people need such as education, healthcare, entertainment, shopping, work places and financial and banking services.
” Bansal is one of 15,000 foreigners living in Phú Mỹ Hưng City Centre, the place where the largest number of foreigners now live in Việt Nam.
Why Phu My Hung City Center?
Asked why he chose Phú Mỹ Hưng City Centre, Bansal said: “Everything here makes me feel relaxed. It gives me peace of mind after a hard working day. This is happiness and the place I live is full of the sound of happiness.”
The maintenance and security are also very good, he said SpaniardM.Reyes has lived in the area for more than a year. His apartment is in the International Commercial and Financial District one of Phú Mỹ Hưng City Centre’s eight distinct areas. He said he and his wife had lived in District 2 before moving to Phú Mỹ Hưng.
“We finally chose Phú Mỹ Hưng City Centre because all amenities are next door. The roads are so clean and we can walk on pavements. It is fantastic!” During the weekend, he and his family walk or ride five minutes to reach shopping malls, cinemas,and coffee shops.
Foreigners agree that, with its plethora of amenities, Phú Mỹ Hưng is undoubtedly on top of their list when looking for a place to live in Việt Nam.
Developer Phú Mỹ Hưng Development Corporation has kept improving this urban to achieve the same standards as urban areas elsewhere in the world where foreigners used to live before coming to Việt Nam.
It has been developed as a refined urban area with modern amenities, infrastructure and management. The company has tried to create a place where residents’ privacy is carefully protected without erasing the sense of living in a community, and people are not isolated unlike in most other urban areas.
