About District 2

District 2 (now part of Thu Duc City) is one of the most popular residential areas for expats in Ho Chi Minh City. It encompasses Thao Dien and An Phu, along with the developing Thu Thiem area. The district offers a quieter, more suburban feel compared to District 1 while still being connected by the Saigon Bridge and Thu Thiem Bridge. You will find international schools, Western supermarkets, brunch cafes, and a strong expat community. Apartment buildings here tend to be newer with better amenities including pools, gyms, and children's play areas.
