The Signature: 2BR with Private Garden
Of the 7 lines, the 2BR with Garden is what makes Eco Forest Onsen unique — there’s nothing equivalent in southern Vietnam at this price tier.
What you get:
- 76.6 sqm or 89.5 sqm net interior (≈824 or 963 sqft) — comparable to a generous 2BR in any market
- Plus 18–28 sqm private outdoor garden (≈194–301 sqft) — yours alone, not shared, not balcony-style
- Garden orientation: typically morning sun + afternoon shade (excellent for plants + outdoor dining)
- Garden access: direct from living room AND from master bedroom (depending on unit; verify per floor plan)
- Pre-installed irrigation + drainage (no DIY plumbing required)
Why this matters: For families with young children, this is functionally a “yard” — somewhere to play safely without leaving the apartment. For garden enthusiasts, it’s a real horticultural canvas. For most foreign buyers from Asia/Europe (where private outdoor space is luxury-tier), this single feature can drive the buying decision.
Trade-off: ~15% premium over comparable 2BR no-garden units in same tower. That’s worth it only if you’ll use the garden weekly. If garden is decorative-only, choose 2BR no Garden.

The Other 6 Lines — Quick Walkthrough
3BR Lake View (R1 + R2): 105.5 sqm or 120.5 sqm net interior. Master bedroom directly faces Swan Lake with floor-to-ceiling glass — wake-up view that doesn’t get old. City view from secondary rooms.
3BR No Lake View (F1 + F2): Same square footage, ~10–15% lower price. View depends on tower position: gardens, neighboring towers, or distant city skyline.
Studio + 1BR (T28–34, mostly R2/F1/F2): Compact, well-organized. Designed for solo professionals or short-stay rental. Bedrooms separated from living/kitchen (1BR) or in cabin layout (Studio).
Dualkey Lake View: The hardest-to-find product. Each unit has 2 entry doors — one to a master suite, one to a studio — sharing a common foyer. For multi-generation families: master parents + adult child / nanny. For owner-investors: live in master, rent the studio (separately metered).
Mezza (T3): 4.2m ceiling height with mezzanine. Live-work or open-loft style. Limited inventory, premium tier.
Duplex (T20–21): 2-floor unit. Floor 1: living + kitchen + master. Floor 2: 2 secondary bedrooms + study/library. Total ~242 sqm (≈2,605 sqft).
Penthouse (T41): Top floor, custom configuration. 8 units total in R1 + R2. Reserve very early — these typically go in the first 30 days of launch.

Floor Selection Guide — Where to Pick Within Your Layout
Tower R1+R2 has 41 floors. General floor selection guidance:
- T3 (Mezza): Higher ceilings, but ground-level activity audible. Best for live-work / showroom-style use.
- T4 (Wellness Deck level): Direct adjacency to onsen — convenient + slight foot traffic.
- T5–T15: Lower premium, mature canopy view, less wind exposure. Best value for owner-occupiers.
- T15–T25: Sweet spot for most buyers. Strong views without extreme wind/sun, less stair-evacuation distance.
- T25–T40: Premium. Strong views, longer elevator times. Where Dualkey + Penthouse cluster.
- T41 Penthouse: Top tier, premium pricing.
One more consideration: Vietnamese real estate culture skips floors 13 and 4 (which are “unlucky”) in some buildings. At Eco Forest Onsen, all floors are present and numbered conventionally (1, 2, 3… 41). For Western buyers this is a non-issue; for Vietnamese resale market, certain floors may have slight discount/premium. Verify with sales agent for the specific unit.
