Lexington Residence is one of Novaland’s most successful An Phu projects. Developed by Novaland — one of Vietnam’s largest local developers — and delivered in 2016, Lexington Residence was designed to fill a specific market gap: An Phu location and school proximity at mid-range price points, between budget developments and premium offerings like Estella Heights.
The development consists of four towers labeled LA, LB, LC, and LD, totaling approximately 1,100 apartments. The location at 67 Mai Chi Tho, An Phu Ward, District 2 places it within walking distance of ISHCMC, Estella Place mall, and other major An Phu amenities — without the premium associated with Keppel Land’s Estella properties.
Over 9+ years of operation, Lexington Residence has built a strong mixed expat-and-Vietnamese family community — particularly popular with mid-budget Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Western family expats who want An Phu lifestyle benefits without stretching budgets.
Lexington Residence shares An Phu’s key connectivity advantages:
Lexington’s walking distances are slightly longer than direct An Phu adjacencies (Estella Heights is closer to ISHCMC by 2-3 min), but the 10-12 min walk is still comfortable and saves $300-500/month vs premium alternatives.

Quality is consistent. Choose based on view orientation: LA/LB closer to Mai Chi Tho main road (busier); LC/LD slightly more internal (quieter). Floor level matters more than tower choice.
Yes — sidewalks are continuous, route is well-trafficked by other ISHCMC families. Many Lexington families have children walk independently from age 9-10.
Yes — cats and small dogs accepted. Pet deposit typically $150-250. Some breed and size restrictions.
Lexington: newer (2016 vs 2013), slightly fewer amenities, similar price, walk to mall (not direct connection). The Estella: older finishes, direct mall walkway, mature community. Both target similar tenant profiles.
Yes — Novaland is one of Vietnam’s largest local developers with strong operational track record. Lexington has performed well over 9 years.
Strong inventory with active turnover — most layouts available within 1-2 weeks. Move-in 3-5 days after deposit.

Lexington Residence is the mid-budget family champion in An Phu. If you want walking access to ISHCMC and Estella Place at sensible prices — without paying Estella Heights premium or accepting The Estella’s older finishes — Lexington delivers the right balance. Best for mid-tenure family expats with $1,200-2,400/month budgets.
Compared to alternatives: Estella Heights wins for premium quality. The Estella wins for direct mall walkway. Diamond Island wins for resort amenities. Lexington wins for “mid-budget + family + An Phu.”

"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.
