Vietnam continues to solidify its position as one of the top 10 best destinations in the world for expats, thanks to its stable economy, high safety standards, and appealing lifestyle. These factors have made Vietnam a favored location for work and settlement among international visitors, leading to a growing demand for apartment ownership in major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
In the first half of 2024, over 1,000 apartments in Hanoi were sold to foreigners. Experts attribute this surge to several key factors, including competitive property prices, high investment potential, high-quality developments, and favorable policies that allow foreigners to own property in Vietnam.
The Rise of East Hanoi as a Prime Destination
East Hanoi has emerged as a hotspot for international buyers. The area boasts large-scale urban developments by leading investors, modern and synchronized infrastructure, low population density, and an upgraded transportation network. These features make it easy for residents to commute to Hanoi’s Old Quarter as well as neighboring industrial hubs such as Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Dong Anh, and Hung Yen, which host numerous multinational corporations.
Adding to the appeal, the National Exhibition and Fair Center—a sprawling 90-hectare complex and one of the largest exhibition venues globally—began construction in August 2024. Scheduled for completion by July 2025, this landmark development is expected to drive economic growth in East Hanoi and further boost its real estate appeal.
