Tay Ho 3BR Penthouse | Heritage West Lake Panoramic View
Lac Long Quan, Tay Ho District, Hanoi
85,000,000 VND/mo
Tay Ho: Hanoi’s Premier Diplomatic & Expat Sanctuary
Tay Ho (West Lake) has served as Hanoi’s undisputed diplomatic, executive, and cultural haven for decades. Encircling the city’s largest natural lake (500+ hectares), the district commands the highest residential rental values in northern Vietnam, driven by low density, elevated air quality, and strict zoning regulations prohibiting heavy industrial intrusion.
The Tay Ho geographic advantage:
- Direct 15-minute express transit to Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) via Vo Chi Cong Highway.
- Immediate connectivity to Ba Dinh administrative center (10 minutes) and Hoan Kiem Old Quarter (15 minutes).
- Home to international embassies (South Korea, Singapore, Australia), diplomatic residences, and multinational country directors.
- Walkable waterfront promenades, Michelin-selected dining, artisanal roasteries, and wellness studios along Xuan Dieu and Quang An.
2026 rental dynamics: With the completion of Vo Chi Cong metro corridor planning and CapitaLand’s flagship developments on Lac Long Quan, high-net-worth expat demand has shifted toward fully managed, international-standard luxury high-rises offering centralized air purification and high-security infrastructure.
Heritage West Lake: CapitaLand’s Architectural Masterpiece
Heritage West Lake represents CapitaLand’s most ambitious ultra-luxury residential development in Hanoi — a boutique 25-story tower developed in partnership with Hien Duc Group, offering 173 bespoke private residences.
