Lumiere Riverside 2BR | Metro Line 1 Luxury in An Phu

An Phu Metro Corridor: Saigon’s Contemporary Transit Hub

Positioned along Hanoi Highway (Xa Lo Ha Noi) at the gateway of Thu Duc City (formerly District 2), An Phu represents the most modern, infrastructure-rich residential corridor in eastern Ho Chi Minh City. Directly serviced by Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien line), An Phu combines seamless transit with modern retail complexes, top international schools, and expansive green living.

The An Phu advantage:

• Direct Metro Line 1 Connection: Step directly from the development into the elevated An Phu Metro Station for a fast 10-minute commute to Ben Thanh Market and District 1.
• Top Expat Retail & Dining: Surrounded by Estella Place Mall, Mega Market An Phu, Vincom Mega Mall Thao Dien, and international supermarkets.
• Superior Road Infrastructure: Broad, multi-lane boulevards and modern elevated flyovers eliminating the narrow road congestion seen in older parts of Thao Dien.
• Concentration of Elite Schools: Minutes from ISHCMC, British International School (BIS), Australian International School (AIS), and TAS.

2026 rental dynamics: Following the full commercial operation of Metro Line 1, Lumière Riverside has established itself as the most sought-after luxury transit-oriented development (TOD) in Ho Chi Minh City.
