The limited nature of just 74 exclusive villas and the prestige of WorldHotels have heightened Essensia Parkway’s appeal.
Villa owner Trong Khang shared, “The Onsen Clubhouse and Platinum Membership are truly rare privileges. Owning a home here doesn’t just provide luxury living – I also enjoy splendid vacations globally, knowing my property at Essensia Parkway is professionally managed.”
Seasoned investor Ngoc Ha added, “I’ve rarely seen a project as compelling as Essensia Parkway. The limited number of residences combined with WorldHotels’ reputation made my decision easy. It’s more than a home – it’s a legacy asset with substantial long-term value.”
Located along Nguyen Huu Tho Boulevard in South Saigon’s green corridor, Essensia Parkway enjoys a premium position surrounded by parks and waterways, just minutes from Phu My Hung urban area. Residents have access to top-tier amenities within a 2-kilometer radius, including international schools, healthcare facilities, shopping centers, and financial institutions.
