Townships — Projects Distributed by HPR

A township is a large-scale project planned as a whole from the start: internal roads, parks, schools, commercial areas and many types of housing. Within one township you can choose an apartment, a townhouse, a shophouse or a villa. Most townships are built and handed over in several phases.

Why buyers look at townships

• Infrastructure comes first. Roads, power, water, drainage and greenery are designed together. Daily life is more settled than in unplanned residential areas.
• Amenities within walking distance. Schools, parks, supermarkets and clinics are inside or right next to the township. Well suited to families with young children.
• Resident community. Shared management rules help maintain landscaping, security and cleanliness. Residents share the same wish for a settled life.
• Many product choices. You can start with an apartment and later move up to a townhouse or villa in the same township.
• Clearer deposit rules. For off-plan homes, the 2023 Real Estate Business Law only allows a deposit of no more than 5% of the sale price once the project is eligible for sale. The first payment may not exceed 30% of the contract value, including the deposit.

What to check before you buy

• Legal status of each sub-zone: each phase and sub-zone needs its own construction permit and approval to sell. Do not rely only on the overall master plan decision.
• Existing versus paper amenities: go and see which schools, parks and supermarkets are already open. For the rest, ask for the completion milestones in the contract or in the developer's documents.
• Connections to the outside: access roads, bridges and junctions. Rush-hour commuting time is a deciding factor if you will actually live there.
• Flooding and high tides: many townships in southern Vietnam are by rivers. Ask about ground level, dykes and the flooding history of the access road.
• Estate management fees and resident rules: security and landscaping fees, rules on renovation, pets and parking.
