Empire City Apartment for Rent: Modern Living on Mai Chi Tho Street
Looking for a well-positioned 1-bedroom apartment in one of District 2's most talked-about developments? This unit at Empire City checks a lot of boxes for expats seeking convenience, views, and genuine value.
The Property
Unit T2A-30.06 is a 64-square-meter apartment fully furnished with modern finishes. The standout feature here is the view: you get sightlines toward both District 1's skyline and the Bitexco Financial Tower, which makes for impressive sunsets and a real sense of openness. One bedroom, one bathroom, clean layout. The furnishing is complete, so you're ready to move in as soon as your lease is signed.
Location: Mai Chi Tho Street Advantages
Empire City sits on Mai Chi Tho Street in An Khanh Ward, Thu Thiem, a residential area across the river from central District 1. Because the area is close to major business hubs, the commute to District 1 and District 3 is straightforward by car or taxi, and restaurants, coffee shops, and small markets are available in the surrounding area.
If you work in a tech hub or corporate office in the central districts, the drive from here typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic. Local bus routes and Metro Line 1 serve the wider area, and Crescent Mall and other shopping centers in the Saigon South area of District 7 are a drive away.

At this price point, you're getting a modern serviced apartment in an established development. That typically means building maintenance, 24-hour security, and common facilities like a gym or small lounge are already handled. Utilities (water, electricity, internet) are usually separate, so confirm that with me before signing.
Why This Works for Expats
Empire City has a solid reputation for reliable management and tenant services. The building caters to a mix of expats and local professionals, which means a community feel without feeling isolated. If you need assistance with visa documentation or your Temporary Residence Registration, I can guide you through that process, and building management is familiar with expat paperwork requirements.
The neighborhood itself is quieter than District 1 but still connected. You won't feel like you're in the suburbs, but you also won't be dealing with the highest density of tourists and nightlife. It's a middle ground that a lot of professionals prefer.
Good to Know
Standard lease term is 12 months minimum. Pets are generally not permitted, though this is worth confirming directly. The building operates a professional check-in process, usually requiring a passport scan, copy of your work permit (or tourist visa), and references from a previous landlord if you have them.
If you're relocating with a company, many offer letter of invitation (LOI) or employment certification that can speed things up. I work with both large corporate tenants and individuals, so however you're moving in, we can make this straightforward.
Ready to View?
Empire City has been popular with expats for good reason. At $1,136/month for a modern, fully furnished 1-bedroom with those views, it's worth a closer look if you're in the Mai Chi Tho area or want to explore District 2. Inventory moves quickly at this price point, so let me know if you'd like to schedule a viewing or need any other details about the building or neighborhood.
