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 hubs 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 artery connecting Ho Chi Minh City to 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 top provinces attracting a large migrant workforce, with hundreds of thousands of professionals, engineers, and laborers residing long-term.
Additionally, the area along National Highway 13 is benefiting from long-term public transportation infrastructure developments, including the expansion to 10 lanes, spanning up to 60 meters, and the planned construction of Metro Line 2. These improvements significantly reduce travel time between home and work. In practice, many young professionals working in Ho Chi Minh City’s center but living in the adjacent 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 focus on 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 attainable for young buyers; and diverse amenities tailored to family life foster a stable community.
This is why many young individuals 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 rentals or purchasing homes under significant financial strain, young buyers are proactively seeking areas with sustainable growth 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, as the real estate market moves toward greater stability and transparency, projects focused on genuine housing needs, strong connectivity, and clear legal frameworks will remain a priority for buyers.
