Thủ Đức is the eastern urban belt around universities, technology employment, newer housing and the Metro Line 1 corridor. It is too large to have one consistent personality: established streets, campuses, industrial land and apartment projects sit within the same broad city area.
The eastern city has its own gravity, especially for people working near the university and technology clusters. The further the address is from the metro and established centres, the more important road access becomes.
The honest version
Thủ Đức is a city-sized catchment, not one neighbourhood. Choose the corridor first, then judge the individual housing pocket.
Good to know
Metro Line 1 gives the western part of the area a direct rail spine
The wider city-level area is too large for one uniform description
