Apartment for Rent in Hanoi (2026 Prices)
Real 2026 rents in Hanoi for expats: 1-bed $500–$950/mo. Tay Ho, Ba Dinh and Cau Giay prices, with selected listings.
Last updated: 11 November 2026 · Listings checked against public sources on 11 November 2026.
Quick answer: A furnished studio in Hanoi costs $350–$650/month, a 1-bedroom $500–$950, and a 2-bedroom $900–$1,800. Tay Ho (West Lake) is the most expensive area — 1-bedrooms there run $700–$2,000. Deposit is normally 2–3 months, the highest in Vietnam. Best for expat life: Tay Ho. Best value: Cau Giay / My Dinh.
Hanoi is the capital and the second-biggest expat rental market in Vietnam. The market is built on apartments: modern towers around West Lake (Tay Ho) and newer buildings in Cau Giay and My Dinh, plus older flats in Ba Dinh and the Old Quarter. Most of the listings on this page are in Tay Ho — 11 of the 13 — in buildings like PentStudio West Lake, Sunshine Golden River and Starlake Tay Ho Tay.
Since 1 July 2025 districts have been abolished, so addresses on contracts now show only ward + city — but the market still uses the old district names (Tay Ho, Cau Giay, Ba Dinh, Hoan Kiem), so this page uses those names too. Hanoi winters are cold by Vietnamese standards (December–February can drop below 10°C) and most apartments have no central heating — check heaters and hot water before you sign.

Best areas for foreigners in Hanoi
Tay Ho / West Lake
best for expat life
The biggest expat area in Hanoi, around West Lake: lake views, international restaurants, embassies nearby. The most expensive — 1-bedrooms $700–$2,000, and 2–4 bedroom apartments in PentStudio, Sunshine Golden River and Starlake from ₫27M. 11 of the 13 listings on this page are in Tay Ho.
Ba Dinh
best quiet, embassy area
Embassies and quiet streets south of the lake. Older apartments, less supply aimed at foreigners, prices similar to Tay Ho. Good if you want calm and central.
Cau Giay / My Dinh
best value, newer towers
Newer apartment towers, tech offices, and lower prices than Tay Ho. A 1-bedroom at 219 Tran Duy Hung lists at ₫15M ($588). Good for longer stays and families who want space.
Hoan Kiem (Old Quarter)
best for atmosphere
The Old Quarter is walkable and atmospheric, but noisy, and long-term apartments are scarce. Expect small spaces and higher prices for the location.
How to rent in Hanoi — 5 steps
- Search. FazWaz Tay Ho and Cau Giay pages, Facebook groups ("Hanoi Massive", "Hanoi expat housing"), and agents such as Alpha Housing. Tay Ho has the most English-language listings; Cau Giay and My Dinh are cheaper.
- View in person. Test the WiFi, check the heaters and hot water (Hanoi winter is cold and most flats have no central heating), and visit the street at night. Never pay before viewing, or before a live video call you control.
- Verify the Pink Book. The name on the ownership certificate must match the name on the contract and the bank account you pay into. If the "landlord" cannot show it, walk away.
- Sign a bilingual contract. Get the deposit terms, repair responsibility, electricity billing, and notice period in writing in both languages. Expect a deposit of 2–3 months in Hanoi — get the deposit return conditions in writing.
- Pay and register. Pay by bank transfer, keep receipts, and make the landlord register your temporary residence. Do not sign 12 months on your first visit — rent short, like the area, then extend.
Hanoi scam warnings
- Deposit of 2–3 months. Hanoi has the highest deposits in Vietnam. Move-in cost is the deposit plus the first month — get the deposit return conditions in writing before you pay anything.
- Foreigner premium in Tay Ho. English-language listings in Tay Ho are often priced well above the same unit on Vietnamese platforms. Compare the price on Batdongsan before you agree to anything.
- Winter cold, no heating. Hanoi winter (December–February) can drop below 10°C and most apartments have no central heating. Check heaters and hot water before signing — a cheap flat can be miserable in January.
- Deposit before viewing. The classic trap: a too-cheap apartment, an agent who demands a "holding deposit" before you arrive, then disappears. No viewing, no money — no exceptions.

Frequently asked questions — Hanoi
How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Hanoi?
A furnished studio in Hanoi costs $350–$650 a month, a 1-bedroom $500–$950, and a 2-bedroom $900–$1,800. Tay Ho (West Lake) is the most expensive area, with 1-bedrooms at $700–$2,000. Prices are asking prices, usually negotiable by 10–30% on a 6–12 month lease.
Can foreigners rent an apartment in Hanoi?
Yes, with a passport and a valid visa. You do not need a work permit just to rent a home. The landlord must register your temporary residence.
How much deposit is normal in Hanoi?
Two to three months' rent is normal in Hanoi — the highest in Vietnam. Never pay a deposit before seeing the home in person or on a live video call, and check that the name on the Pink Book matches the contract and the bank account.
