The Sky-High Living Trend: Unveiling the Appeal of High-Rise Residences

For Nguyen Thu Hien, a 38-year-old resident of Binh Thanh, Ho Chi Minh City, the daily grind of navigating through crowded streets during rush hour can be overwhelming. She confides that she sometimes experiences a new form of depression – what she calls “crowd depression.”

Having lived and worked in Singapore for several years, Hien yearned for a living space that echoed the conveniences and aesthetics of her time abroad. Her ideal residence included a beautiful view and a spacious balcony where she could tend to her beloved flowers instead of the instant “noodle packet” flowers often hung outside windows.

Working in a creative field, Hien has moved multiple times in search of a living space that sparks new ideas and provides a seamless blend of amenities and security. She finally found her “soulmate” residence, a high-rise apartment where she could travel worry-free for extended business trips or return home late after long flights, knowing her home was secure.

Residents of high-rise buildings often desire a nature-filled home.

It’s not just independent professionals and creatives who appreciate the allure of high-end, amenity-rich apartment complexes. Families, like that of Tran Dinh Thanh, a resident of District 2 in Ho Chi Minh City, with two young children, seek living spaces that offer a plethora of on-site amenities tailored to their kids’ needs. They want a place where play, recreation, and family bonding can occur without having to navigate through crowded city streets.

Many families opt for apartments that cater to multi-generational living.

“With young children, living close to grandparents is essential, especially during the summer holidays when we rely on them for childcare,” says Thanh. His family purchased two apartments in the same building, allowing his parents to have their private space while remaining close to their grandchildren. “They prefer ‘living close but not together,’ he adds with a laugh.

The Rise of Demanding Standards

As urban lifestyles evolve and intersect, residents’ expectations of their living spaces and amenities soar. They seek a vast array of facilities catering to diverse age groups, from grandparents to teenagers and toddlers, even accommodating the unique needs of infants under three years old who spend most of their time at home.

Well-thought-out designs that allocate ample space for parking and elevators are also crucial. With most families owning one or two cars, high-end apartment complexes with spacious parking areas are highly valued. Well-designed underground parking is a bonus, offering residents a convenient and weather-protected option instead of circling the building on rainy or scorching days.

The criteria that Hien and Thanh value are shared by other successful homebuyers who have experienced diverse and quality urban lifestyles. Living in the sky is not merely about budget-friendliness but about fulfilling stringent demands for services, amenities, and space.
