Current Listings

The apartment listings on this page are the most useful starting point for checking available properties and asking rents. Inventory can change as apartments are rented, repriced or newly added, so tenants should confirm availability and the full rental package before arranging a viewing.

The current selection includes furnished apartments with 1 to 4 bedrooms, larger residences and duplex layouts. Examples in the displayed inventory include apartments near Hoan Kiem Lake, the French Quarter, Hanoi Opera House and the southern central streets of the district.

Use the available property filters to compare bedroom count, bathrooms, floor area and asking rent before contacting the agent.

Property Types

Hoan Kiem has a varied apartment market rather than one standard residential format. The main differences are apartment size, layout, furnishing, building management and the services included in the rent.

Studio Apartments

Studio apartments combine sleeping, living and dining areas within one main space. They can suit single tenants who prefer a compact home in central Hanoi. When comparing studios, check the usable floor area, kitchen, storage, natural light, ventilation and noise level.

1-Bedroom Apartments

One-bedroom apartments provide a separate bedroom and living area and are commonly suitable for single professionals or couples. The actual value of a 1-bedroom apartment depends not only on size but also on furnishing, building quality, balcony space, natural light and location.

2-Bedroom Apartments

Two-bedroom apartments can work well for couples, small families, colleagues sharing accommodation or tenants who need a separate home office. Current listings on this page include different sizes and layouts, from more compact apartments to larger residences.

3- and 4-Bedroom Apartments

Larger apartments provide additional bedrooms and living space for families and executive tenants. Some properties in the current inventory offer multiple bathrooms, balconies, larger living areas or direct car access.

Serviced Apartments

Serviced apartments in Hanoi combine furnished accommodation with professional property or building management. Depending on the individual property, the rental package may include housekeeping, internet, reception, security, maintenance or selected utilities.

Services are not identical between buildings. Before signing a lease, confirm exactly what is included in the monthly rent and which costs, such as electricity, parking, management fees or additional housekeeping, are charged separately.

Duplex Apartments

A duplex apartment has two internal levels and can provide more separation between living and sleeping areas. Duplexes can be useful for tenants who want a larger or less conventional layout while remaining in a central location.

Penthouses and Premium Residences

Penthouses and premium residences occupy the higher end of the rental market. Depending on the individual property, they may offer larger floor plans, higher floors, balconies, terraces, upgraded interiors or wider city views.

Flats and Condos

International tenants may use terms such as flat, condo or condominium when searching for an apartment in Hanoi. In everyday rental searches, these terms can overlap with “apartment”. The more important factors are the property's location, management, condition, facilities and rental terms.

Current Asking Rents

The apartment listings currently displayed on this page range from approximately $700 to $3,650+ per month. The spread reflects the significant differences between apartment sizes, locations, buildings, furnishing levels and services.

Displayed Asking Rent	Examples in the Current Inventory
$700–$1,000/month	Selected 1- and 2-bedroom apartments, including smaller or less service-intensive properties

This is an asking-rent snapshot of properties displayed on the page, not a district-wide rental average. Individual asking prices and availability should be confirmed before a viewing or lease negotiation.

Best Areas

Different parts of Hoan Kiem offer different living environments. The best area depends on whether you prioritize the lake, historic streets, quieter residential roads, restaurants, offices or access to transport.

Hoan Kiem Lake

The area around Hoan Kiem Lake is suited to tenants who value centrality, walking access and proximity to restaurants, cafes and cultural attractions. Traffic, noise and building access vary from street to street, so the exact address matters.

The Old Quarter

The Old Quarter is known for its dense network of historic streets, local businesses, restaurants, cafes and traditional commercial activity. It suits tenants who want to live in the most active part of central Hanoi, although noise and parking conditions vary considerably by street.

The French Quarter

The French Quarter has broader streets, colonial-era architecture, hotels, offices, restaurants and residential properties. It can suit tenants who want a central address with a different atmosphere from the busier Old Quarter.

Trang Tien and Hang Bai

Trang Tien and Hang Bai are central areas close to Hoan Kiem Lake, retail, restaurants and cultural destinations. They can be convenient for professionals working in central Hanoi.

Tran Hung Dao and Ly Thuong Kiet

Tran Hung Dao and Ly Thuong Kiet are major southern corridors of Hoan Kiem with offices, hotels and residential buildings. The local apartment network includes properties such as Pacific Place Hanoi, Sun Red River Hanoi, Elegant Suites Hanoi and Somerset Grand Hanoi.

Serviced vs Private Apartments

Tenants searching for an apartment for rent in Hanoi generally compare professionally managed serviced accommodation with privately managed apartments.

Factor	Serviced Apartment	Private Apartment
Management	Usually professionally managed	Landlord or property manager
Furnishing	Usually furnished	Furnished or unfurnished
Housekeeping	May be included	Usually arranged separately
Utilities	Some may be included	Often charged separately
Facilities	Depends on the property	Depends on the building
Lease terms	Depends on the operator	Depends on the landlord

A serviced apartment can be convenient when professional management and household services are important. A private rental can suit tenants who prefer a conventional residential arrangement and are comfortable managing utilities and household services separately.
