Savills Vietnam’s Q2/2025 report reveals that the average primary selling price in Ho Chi Minh City during 2024 and Q1/2025 reached approximately 90 million VND per square meter. Against this backdrop, a noticeable shift towards key connectivity axes is underway, with National Highway 13 emerging as a standout choice.
National Highway 13 – The Leading Axis for Residential Relocation
National Highway 13 is a vital transportation route connecting Ho Chi Minh City with the Northeast region, particularly the former Binh Duong Province—one of the fastest-urbanizing and industrially developing localities in the country. According to the General Statistics Office, Binh Duong currently ranks among the provinces attracting the largest migrant workforce, with hundreds of thousands of experts, engineers, and laborers settling long-term.
Additionally, the area along National Highway 13 is benefiting from long-term public transportation infrastructure development plans, including the expansion to 10 lanes, reaching up to 60 meters in width, and the construction of Metro Line 2. This significantly reduces travel time between home and work. In practice, many young professionals working in Ho Chi Minh City’s center but residing in the bordering areas of former Binh Duong have chosen National Highway 13 as a “balance point” between distance, cost, and quality of life.
Apartments Along National Highway 13 Meet Real Housing Needs
Today’s youth are no longer drawn to speculative or overly luxurious projects; instead, they prioritize developments that cater to genuine living needs. A CBRE Vietnam survey indicates that individuals under 35 prioritize affordability, convenient transportation, and a stable living environment over extravagant amenities.
Residential projects along National Highway 13 excel in meeting these criteria: Proximity to industrial zones and employment hubs reduces daily commute stress; more competitive pricing compared to the city center makes homeownership more accessible for young buyers; and diverse amenities tailored to family life foster a stable community.
This is why many young people now view settling in this area as a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix, aligning with their financial plans and lifestyle preferences.
Long-Term Settlement Over Short-Term Choices
Instead of enduring long-term renting or facing significant financial pressure to buy a home, young individuals are proactively seeking areas with sustainable development potential, where living value and property value can grow in tandem over time. National Highway 13, with its connectivity advantages and urban development potential, is increasingly meeting these expectations.
Experts predict that in a real estate market trending toward stability and transparency, projects focused on genuine housing needs, strong connectivity, and clear legal frameworks will remain top priorities for buyers.
