Starlake Hanoi Overview

Starlake, also known as Tay Ho Tay New Town, is a major planned urban development in Hanoi. According to the project's official information, the development covers approximately 186.6 hectares and is planned as a mixed-use urban area combining residential, commercial, educational, administrative and public functions.

The official project information identifies THT Development Co., Ltd. as the developer and Daewoo E&C as investor. The master plan places strong emphasis on open space, landscaping, water areas and public facilities, with the official project website stating that 84% of the project area is allocated to green space, water surfaces and public works.

Residential properties within Starlake include high-rise apartments as well as villas, townhouses and other landed homes. This makes the area relevant to both expatriate professionals and families looking for a long-term rental in a planned residential environment.

For tenants specifically interested in landed homes, see the Starlake villa rental listings.

Starlake Location

Starlake is located in the Tay Ho Tay area of western Hanoi, close to the western side of West Lake. Its location provides convenient access to Hoang Quoc Viet, Vo Chi Cong and the wider road network serving northern and western Hanoi.

The official Starlake apartment information states that the H9 complex is approximately a 5-minute walk from Hoang Quoc Viet Street and about 10 minutes from West Lake. Actual walking and driving times naturally depend on the exact building, destination and traffic conditions.

The location is particularly relevant to people working or studying around Tay Ho, Cau Giay, the diplomatic area, western Hanoi and the northern airport corridor. The wider Starlake development is also planned as a mixed-use administrative, commercial and residential centre rather than a standalone apartment complex.

The original project gallery contains several master-plan and streetscape references, including the Starlake master plan, lake and tower view, wider master-plan view and central development view.

Apartments for Rent in Starlake

Starlake apartments are concentrated in the H9 apartment complex, which the official project website describes as three 24-storey towers containing 603 apartments. The complex covers approximately 2.5 hectares.

H9 Apartment Complex

H9 is the most clearly identifiable apartment component of Starlake. The official project information describes the complex as a residential development designed around modern Korean-influenced architecture, landscaped space and a relatively low-density residential environment.

Current rental examples on Hanoi Real Estate include 128–130m² three-bedroom apartments. These units generally provide three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with both fully furnished and different furnishing configurations represented in the available inventory.

For example, current listings include a 3-bedroom corner apartment in Starlake, a 130m² three-bedroom apartment in Building 901A, and a fully furnished 130m² three-bedroom apartment.

Current Apartment Options

These figures are current listing examples rather than an official Starlake-wide rental tariff. The final rent can change according to floor, view, furnishing package, renovation quality, landlord requirements, lease term and availability.

For tenants comparing individual apartments, the most useful factors are usually the exact building and unit, floor height, orientation, view, furniture condition, management arrangements and total monthly occupancy cost rather than headline rent alone.

Villas for Rent in Starlake

Starlake's low-rise residential areas provide an alternative to apartment living, with larger homes suitable for families that need multiple bedrooms, private outdoor space or a larger living area.

Villa Types and Sizes

Current Starlake rental examples on Hanoi Real Estate include villas and landed homes ranging from approximately 230m² to 400m². Available configurations include three-, four-, five- and six-bedroom homes.

The current inventory includes a 230m² three-bedroom villa with a garden and a 400m² six-bedroom linked villa.

Other available or recently listed examples include a brand-new four-bedroom villa, a furnished four-bedroom villa, a four-bedroom villa in Starlake and an additional four-bedroom Starlake villa.

The original Starlake gallery also includes references to the low-rise residential environment, including the low-rise villa area, villa streetscape, residential pool area, public square, Starlake streetscape and additional Starlake street view.

Furnished and Unfurnished Villas

Starlake rental inventory includes both furnished and unfurnished landed homes. Furnished properties are generally more convenient for international tenants relocating to Hanoi, while unfurnished or partly furnished homes can be more suitable for tenants who already have furniture or want to personalise the property.

Before signing a lease, tenants should confirm exactly what is included in the furniture inventory, whether appliances are provided, which utilities are separately metered and whether management or maintenance charges are included in the quoted rent.

Facilities and Lifestyle

The wider Starlake master plan is designed as a mixed-use urban environment rather than a residential compound containing only homes. Official project information describes residential, commercial, educational, administrative and public functions within the development.

For apartment residents, the official H9 information highlights access to facilities such as shopping areas, swimming pools, kindergartens, schools, libraries, sports facilities, landscaped gardens and children's play areas. Availability of a particular facility should be confirmed for the building and period of tenancy because facilities can change as the development evolves.

The wider location also benefits from proximity to West Lake and established residential areas in western Hanoi. This gives tenants access to restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, international schools and other everyday services beyond the immediate residential complex.

For tenants comparing the area with other Hanoi apartment complexes, the original site also maintains links to the Hanoi apartment complex directory and the Tay Ho apartment complex listings.

Starlake Hanoi Rental Prices

The current English Starlake rental page shows apartment examples at approximately $1,800–$1,850/month and villa examples from approximately $2,500 to $3,500/month. These figures represent the properties displayed on the page at the time of review, not a fixed project-wide price list.

Rental prices can move when individual properties leave the market or new homes are added. For that reason, tenants should treat online prices as asking-price references and confirm the current rent, availability and included services before making a decision.

Who Starlake Suits

Starlake is particularly suitable for tenants who want a planned residential environment with larger homes, modern apartments and convenient access to western and northern Hanoi.

• International professionals: suitable for tenants working in western Hanoi, diplomatic areas or major business districts.
• Families with children: the location provides access to schools and family-oriented residential facilities.
• Tenants needing more space: villas offer substantially more living and outdoor space than typical city apartments.
• Long-term residents: the combination of apartments, villas, commercial services and green areas supports longer stays.
• Tenants preferring modern planning: Starlake provides a planned urban environment rather than a traditional narrow-street residential neighbourhood.

Renting in Starlake

When comparing a Starlake property, start with the property itself rather than the project name. Two homes in the same development can have significantly different rental values because of their floor, orientation, view, furnishing, renovation quality and exact location.

1. Define your requirements: bedrooms, size, furnished or unfurnished, parking and preferred move-in date.
2. Compare suitable properties: review the actual unit rather than relying only on project photographs.
3. Inspect the property: check furniture, appliances, bathrooms, air conditioning, water pressure, natural light and noise levels.
4. Confirm the total cost: ask about rent, management fees, utilities, internet, cleaning, parking and other charges.
5. Review the lease: confirm deposit, payment schedule, notice period, renewal conditions, maintenance responsibilities and early termination provisions.
6. Complete the move-in process: record the property's condition and inventory when the tenancy begins.
