Mr. Stephen, a foreign professional who has lived in Vietnam for 10 years with a variety of living experiences, living in this “Western” urban area said: “I am very happy with my life here because eco-culture is very close to what I have been familiar in my hometown. In the urban area, the Board of Management puts the trash out of every house, of which rubbish is dumped every day and recycled. In the urban area, there are signs of pets which require pets to be attached to the chain and their owners must clear the pets’feces. Perhaps it is strange to the Vietnamese people, so there seem have no urban area caring, but for us, it is the norm standards of life and Ciputra really makes us pleased.”
International residents account for nearly 40% of the total population in the urban area.
Besides, the quietness is also a factor Mr. Stephen and the foreigners highly appreciate. Mr. Stephen shared: “Having lived in other locations in Hanoi, I’ve been obsessed by the noise of my neighbor’s house when they repaired almost 24 hours a day, even in the middle of the night, or the sound of street vehicles and the chatting voices of neighbors. But in Ciputra, noise is a “peripheral” concept which is never compromised and disrupted the “special” tranquility and identity of this place”.
“I changed my noisy two-bedroom apartment to a 4-bedroom house with full of peace, tranquility and freshness. Although it may be more expensive to invest, the cost of living is cheaper because I do not have to spend more time finding the ideal“place to live”. I often sit and enjoy coffee and readbooks by the window overlooking the green nature and enjoy the peaceful space. We felt very fortunate to be residents of Ciputra”, concluded Stephen.
Happily living in the Ciputra International urban area is a privilege and also a fortune. This is partly because of the few opportunities for new residents to join the green and “Western”-based civilized. Typically, in the past year, Ciputra only offered 161 villas adjacent to 25ha of green parks and the few numbers of apartments in The Link 345.
According to the latest information from the investor, residents who wish to join the Ciputra international community can visit the actual apartments and sample houses for experienceing the living space in harmony with the nature and gazing with veneration of modern luxury apartment design in the two The Link 3 and The Link 4.
