1. District 9 apartment market overview

The former District 9 sits at the north-eastern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City, bordering the Thao Dien – An Phu area, the former Thu Duc district, Dong Nai and the former Binh Duong Province. Since 1 July 2025, the area has fallen mainly within five wards: Tang Nhon Phu, Phuoc Long, Long Truong, Long Phuoc and Long Binh. As the name “District 9” remains in widespread market use, this article gives former ward names where helpful so that readers can cross-reference listings published before 1 July 2025.

Demand for apartments in the area is supported by three main factors:

• Transport infrastructure: Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien) has 14 stations and has been in commercial operation since 22 December 2024, alongside the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway, Hanoi Highway and the ring roads. Savills Vietnam has analysed the progress of the metro and its impact on real estate in a separate article.
• Employment: The Ho Chi Minh City High-Tech Park attracts engineers and specialists, generating demand to rent and buy apartments close to the workplace.
• Education: Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City and surrounding educational institutions generate rental demand from students, lecturers and postgraduate students.
