The River Thu Thiem Pool Villa for Rent: 4 Bedrooms, 380 m², Private Pool

Private pool of a 4-bedroom pool villa at The River Thu Thiem, Ho Chi Minh City

Most luxury apartments in Thu Thiem give you a nice view and a shared pool. This one gives you your own pool, your own elevator and 380 m² of space, inside a riverside project just across the water from District 1.

The River Thu Thiem was built with only 12 pool villas across its three towers, so units like this rarely come up for rent. Below is everything an expat family or executive needs to decide whether it is worth a viewing: the unit, the project, the location, the rent and what to check before signing.

What does this pool villa at The River Thu Thiem offer?

Quick answer: This is a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom pool villa of 380 m² at The River Thu Thiem, Thu Duc City (former District 2), Ho Chi Minh City. It has a private swimming pool and a private elevator, comes with basic finishing, and rents for VND 350,000,000 per month. Achieve Realty VN arranges viewings.

Unit type	Pool villa
Bedrooms / bathrooms	4 / 4
Size	380 m²
Private pool	Yes
Private elevator	Yes
Furnishing	Basic finishing (furnish to your own taste)
Monthly rent	VND 350,000,000
Tower / floor / view	Seine Tower
Management fee	27,000 VND/m2
Available from	Nov 2026

At 380 m², the villa is close to three times the size of a standard 4-bedroom apartment in the same project. Basic finishing means the space is ready to live in but largely unfurnished, which suits tenants who are shipping their own furniture or want to style the home themselves.

What is The River Thu Thiem, and is it ready to move in?

Quick answer: The River Thu Thiem is a riverside luxury residence in the Thu Thiem New Urban Area, developed by City Garden, a member of Refico Group. Its three towers, named after the Seine, Thames and Hudson rivers, were handed over from late 2022. The project is complete and tenants can move in now.

Developer	City Garden (Refico Group)
Architect	DP Architects (Singapore)
Location	Lots 3-15 & 3-16, Thu Thiem New Urban Area, Thu Duc City
Land area	15,378 m²
Towers	Seine (12 floors), Thames (18 floors), Hudson (18 floors)
Units	525 in total: 501 apartments, 12 penthouses, 12 pool villas
Handover	From Q4 2022
Foreign ownership	50-year term for foreign buyers, under current Vietnamese law

With just 12 pool villas in 525 units, this unit type makes up roughly 2% of the project. That scarcity is the main reason pool villas here are priced well above the project's standard apartments.

Where is The River Thu Thiem and how do you get around?

Location map of The River Thu Thiem and river views

Quick answer: The River Thu Thiem sits on the Saigon River in Thu Thiem, beside Thu Thiem 1 Bridge and Nguyen Co Thach (Vong Cung) Boulevard. District 1 is directly across the river, and Landmark 81 in Binh Thanh is about 3 km away via Thu Thiem 1 Bridge.

To District 1: across the river via Thu Thiem 2 (Ba Son) Bridge or the Saigon River Tunnel. [Tom to fill: typical drive time to Ben Thanh / Dong Khoi]
To Binh Thanh and Landmark 81: about 3 km via Thu Thiem 1 Bridge.
To Thao Dien (expat schools, cafes): [Tom to fill: typical drive time]
On your doorstep: a 3.7-hectare riverside park borders the project, good for morning runs and evening walks with a view of the District 1 skyline.

Thu Thiem is still building out, so expect some construction nearby. In return, streets are wider and quieter than in District 1, and the river views are open.

What facilities come with a rental at The River Thu Thiem?

Quick answer: Beyond the villa's own pool and elevator, tenants at The River Thu Thiem share a 50-metre pool with aqua deck, a jacuzzi, a kids' pool, a gym and yoga area, a jogging track, BBQ terraces, landscaped gardens and a children's playground, plus the 3.7-hectare riverside park next door.

Inside the villa

Private swimming pool for your household only
Private elevator: no shared lobby or corridor between you and your front door
4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across 380 m²

Shared in the project

50 m pool and aqua deck, cabanas, jacuzzi, kids' pool
Gym, yoga space and jogging track
BBQ terraces, gardens, children's playground

Confirm before signing: whether the rent includes the management fee, car parking slots, and what the landlord will add to the basic finishing (air-conditioning, curtains, kitchen appliances).

Who is this pool villa right for?

Quick answer: This villa suits expat families who need four bedrooms and room for children to play, senior executives who value privacy, and households that entertain at home. It is less suited to tenants who want a fully furnished, move-in-tomorrow apartment or a short lease.

A good fit if you:

Have a family of four or more, or regularly host visiting relatives
Want a pool without sharing it with 500 other households
Prefer a private entrance for security or discretion
Plan to stay two years or more and bring your own furniture

Probably not for you if you:

Need a fully furnished home on arrival
Want a lease shorter than 12 months
Prefer to be within walking distance of District 1 nightlife

What should expats check before signing a lease here?

Parking: confirm the number of car slots included.
Pets and renovations: check building rules and landlord consent before you sign.
