Is Eco Retreat Worth Buying? Pros And Considerations
Pros
- The founder of Ecopark has proven eco-township experience at Ecopark Hung Yen and EcoVillage Saigon River
- About 55% of the land is landscape; a 50 ha green core with 20 themed gardens, 14 ha Swan Lake and 8 km of forest-bathing trails
- First Home Retreat homes (Spring cluster) handed over from 09/2026
- Low-rise homes from about VND 5.8 billion – far below inner-city HCMC townhouses and villas
- Next to the HCMC – Trung Luong expressway, close to Ring Road 3 and the Ben Luc – Long Thanh expressway
- 1/500 plan approved; main contractors Coteccons and Ricons; flexible payments with up to 24 months of loan support
Considerations
- About 30 km from District 1; travel time depends on rush hour
- Most zones are still under construction and many amenities follow the build schedule
- The resale market is new and long-term liquidity is not yet proven
- The administrative address has changed to Tay Ninh – check each zone’s documents carefully
Who is Eco Retreat for?
Great fit
Families wanting a second home
Looking for green space and weekend retreats about an hour from Ho Chi Minh City.
Good fit
Long-term investors in the western gateway
Positioned ahead of Ring Road 3, the Ben Luc – Long Thanh expressway and the move of residents out of the inner city.
Think twice
Daily commuters to District 1
Consider apartments closer to the centre such as Palm City or The Global City.
Info Realty’s view: Eco Retreat suits buyers looking for a green family home or a long-term asset at the western gateway, rather than those who need to live next to the centre. To live in, consider a handed-over Home Retreat resale unit or a zone near the retreat ring and Swan Lake; to invest, garden townhouses and main-axis shophouses need the most accessible capital.
