Thao Dien district has a prime and beautiful location, located right at the front of Hanoi Highway – the most important road axis in District 2 and is considered the heart of the East, the gateway to the city center. Located on this arterial road, the most prominent is the Metro High-Altitude Railway No. 1 Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien. After being officially started in 2012, Thao Dien real estate market has been pounding to welcome investment waves with a series of large-scale projects; attracting the attention of investors, contributing to promoting regional land price fluctuations.
