Estella Heights represents one of the strongest international developer investments in District 2. Developed by Keppel Land — a Singapore-listed property giant with major projects across Singapore (Keppel Bay, Reflections at Keppel Bay), China, and Vietnam — Estella Heights brings Singapore-grade construction quality and design discipline to the HCMC family rental market.
The development consists of four towers (T1, T2, T3, T4) totaling approximately 870 apartments, delivered in phases from 2017 to 2019. The location at 88 Song Hanh Street, An Phu Ward, District 2 places it in the heart of D2’s expat family belt — walking distance to ISHCMC, adjacent to Estella Place shopping mall, and 5-10 minutes from Thao Dien.
For family expats prioritizing school proximity, established expat community, and proven Singaporean developer reliability, Estella Heights consistently ranks at the top of consideration sets — and has done so since its first units were delivered.
Estella Heights’ An Phu location is one of D2’s best for family expats:
The combination of multiple international schools + Estella Place mall + Western groceries + Metro Line 1 access within walking or short-drive distance is unmatched in D2.

Generally similar quality. T1 and T2 are closer to Estella Place mall (better for mall users). T3 and T4 have slightly quieter orientation. Choose based on view direction and floor preference.
Genuinely walkable — 8-10 minutes on sidewalks. Many ISHCMC families have children walk to school independently from age 8-9.
Yes — cats and small-to-medium dogs accepted. Pet deposit typically $200-300. Some breed restrictions.
Smaller — Estella Place is a mid-sized mall (Vincom Mega Mall is significantly larger). But Estella Place covers daily needs: supermarket, dining, banks, cinema, kids’ play centers.
Yes — most visibly in soundproofing (you don’t hear neighbors), elevator reliability, and finish durability over 7+ years. Subtle but real.
Sunwah Pearl: newer (2020-2021), more central D1 access, more premium tier. Estella Heights: established family community, ISHCMC walking, more amenities for kids. Choice depends on family priorities.
Estella Heights inventory turns reasonably — typical wait for specific layout is 1-2 weeks. ISHCMC family demand peaks July-August.
Estella Heights is the premium ISHCMC family choice in District 2. If you value Keppel Land’s Singapore-grade construction, walking distance to ISHCMC, mall integration, and established family expat community — Estella Heights consistently delivers. Best for school-age family expats with mid-to-premium budgets.
Compared to alternatives: Diamond Island wins for resort lifestyle and AIS proximity. The Estella wins for value + mall direct integration. Lexington wins for mid-budget family. Estella Heights wins for “ISHCMC + Singapore quality.”

"We moved from Thao Dien to An Phu after looking for a newer building. The shift was barely noticeable — same shops, similar communities, but a brand-new tower with better insulation and quieter living.
"
"An Phu is the next Thao Dien — it has the same expat feel but with newer building stock and faster D1 access via Mai Chi Tho. Watch this area: by 2027 it will have caught up entirely.
"
"An Phu is excellent but commute via Mai Chi Tho can still bottleneck at peak hours. Worth doing a test drive at 8am before committing.
