The expansion of urban development space in Ho Chi Minh City, including administrative mergers and strengthening infrastructure connections with Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau has created a positive spillover effect to the market in general and land in the Eastern region in particular.
The East with the focus of Thu Duc City (old) possessing a "strateistic intersection" position is expected to become an inter-regional connectivity center, playing a key role in the chain of interconnected urban - industrial - service. After the merger, this position became more obvious and an important driving force for the growth of the land segment.
According to data from Batdongsan.com.vn, land prices in many areas in the Eastern region have continued to increase in the past two months. Specifically, land in Truong Thanh ward (old), now Long Phuoc ward, located on Nguyen Duy Trinh axis has increased from about 59 - 62 million VND/m2 to 61 - 64 million VND/m2. Also in this area, land on Lo Lu street, the selling price increased from 47 - 56 million VND/m2 to 48.5 - 58 million VND/m2.
Notably, the frontage lots near Truong Thanh market have reached 115 million VND/m2, instead of the price of 110 million VND/m2 of the two previous months. Land in Phu Huu ward (old), now Long Truong ward, plots of land with good infrastructure, cars entering and exiting also set a price level of about 56 - 60 million VND/m2, a significant increase compared to the previous 54 - 56 million VND/m2. Areas such as Go Cat and Lien Phuong also recorded a price increase of 2 - 4 depending on location and area.
Not only the above areas, Binh Chieu wards, Tam Binh ward, Tam Phu ward (old), now Tam Binh ward land also recorded land prices for newly established land, about 5% higher than 2 months ago.
Land in An Khanh ward also increased by an average of 1-2 million VND/m2 in the same period. Many plots of land in Binh Trung ward, formerly An Phu ward, Binh Trung Dong ward, Binh Trung Tay ward, have also established new prices, increasing by about 4-5% compared to May 2025.
Investor Nguyen Minh Khoi - a long-time investor in Ho Chi Minh City - said that the core factor helping this area continue to increase prices is the simultaneous implementation of strategic infrastructure projects with highland connectivity such as Ring Road 3, metro line No. 1 and the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway are expanding, creating favorable conditions for capital flows, residents and trade to move to the East.
Mr. Khoi said that in addition to infrastructure, the urban space development strategy connecting Ho Chi Minh City with some neighboring areas such as Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau to form an "urban - industrial - service superficial zone" is also an important driving force, creating great expectations for the market. In this picture, the East is positioned as a center for trade and innovation, where key economic sectors such as finance, technology, logistics and real estate are concentrated.
Mr. Nguyen Quoc Anh - Deputy General Director of Batdongsan.com.vn - said that after a period of hot growth at the beginning of the year until now, investors have begun to shift to a state of caution, prioritizing areas with complete infrastructure and clear planning. In particular, in the long term, urban planning and transportation development will still be the deciding factor for the resilience of each area, and at the same time, the basis for medium and long-term investment decisions.
