Apartments for rent in Ba Dinh District, Hanoi include furnished apartments, serviced apartments and luxury residences in some of the most convenient central areas of Hanoi. The rental market covers studios, 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom apartments, with particularly strong choices around Lieu Giai, Kim Ma, Ngoc Khanh, Doi Can, Dao Tan and the area around Truc Bach.

Ba Dinh is especially popular with expats, diplomats, embassy staff, international professionals and families who want to live close to embassies, offices, restaurants, shopping and major landmarks.

Rental prices vary considerably according to apartment size, building, floor, view, furnishing, condition and the services included in the lease.

Apartment Types

The choice of apartments for rent in Ba Dinh is broad enough to accommodate single professionals, couples, families and corporate tenants. The most common options are:

  • Studio apartments: Compact open-plan homes generally suited to single professionals or couples who prefer a smaller and easier-to-maintain property.
  • 1-bedroom apartments: A separate bedroom and living area make these a practical choice for individuals and couples who want more privacy or space for working from home.
  • 2-bedroom apartments: One of the most practical choices for couples, small families and professionals sharing accommodation. Many newer apartments provide two bathrooms and a balcony.
  • 3-bedroom apartments: Larger homes suitable for families and corporate tenants, with substantially more living space and storage than smaller units.
  • 4-bedroom apartments: Less common than smaller units but available in larger developments such as Vinhomes Metropolis and other premium residential buildings.
  • Serviced apartments: Professionally managed apartments where the rental package may include services such as housekeeping, internet, reception or selected utilities.
  • Penthouses and duplexes: Premium residences offering larger floor plans, terraces, high-floor views or distinctive layouts.

Apartment size can vary significantly even within the same bedroom category. For example, current listings on this page include 80m² two-bedroom apartments, 90m² two-bedroom apartments and 115–120m² three-bedroom apartments, while larger four-bedroom homes are also available. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Rental Prices in Ba Dinh

There is no single rental price for an apartment in Ba Dinh. The monthly rent depends on the building, apartment size, furnishing, floor, view, age and condition of the property, as well as whether the apartment is individually rented or professionally serviced.

Apartment Type Typical Rental Position Main Factors Affecting Rent
Studio Entry-level to mid-range Location, furnishing, services and building quality
1 bedroom Entry-level to premium Size, building, floor, furnishing and included services
2 bedrooms Mid-range to premium Size, view, building facilities and interior quality
3 bedrooms Mid-range to high-end Floor area, building, views and furnishing
4 bedrooms High-end Large floor area, building, floor and views

As a current market reference, the listings displayed on this page include 2-bedroom apartments around USD 1,200–1,700 per month and 3-bedroom apartments around USD 2,000 per month, while other properties can be lower or substantially higher depending on the building and specification. These are asking prices for individual properties, not fixed district-wide averages. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

For tenants comparing properties, the most useful question is therefore not simply “What is the average rent in Ba Dinh?” but “What apartment can I get for my budget, and what is included?”

Best Areas to Rent

Ba Dinh is not a uniform rental market. Different streets and neighborhoods suit different lifestyles, commuting patterns and budgets.

Lieu Giai

Lieu Giai is one of the strongest choices for tenants working around Lotte Center, Vinhomes Metropolis and nearby offices. The area combines high-rise residential developments with restaurants, shopping and everyday services.

Vinhomes Metropolis is the area's most prominent residential development and offers a wide choice of furnished apartments in different sizes. Current listings include 2- and 3-bedroom apartments as well as larger homes. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Kim Ma

Kim Ma is a major central road connecting Ba Dinh with surrounding districts. It is particularly convenient for tenants working around embassies, offices and Lotte Center. The surrounding streets also contain many smaller serviced apartment buildings.

Kim Ma can be a useful alternative to large developments when tenants want a furnished or serviced apartment with a more residential atmosphere and a wider choice of individual buildings.

Ngoc Khanh

Ngoc Khanh is centered around Ngoc Khanh Lake and Thu Le Park and provides a mixture of apartment buildings, serviced apartments, restaurants and local services. It is a practical location for tenants who want central access without necessarily living in a large high-rise development.

Dao Tan

Dao Tan is particularly relevant for international tenants looking for furnished and serviced apartments close to Lotte Center. Current listings include both 1- and 2-bedroom apartments in this area, with options ranging from smaller serviced units to larger modern apartments. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Doi Can

Doi Can offers a more local residential environment while remaining convenient for central Ba Dinh, Lotte Center and major government and cultural landmarks. It has a substantial supply of smaller serviced apartments as well as larger family-oriented properties.

Truc Bach

Truc Bach is a quieter lakeside area close to the Old Quarter. It can appeal to tenants who value restaurants, walkability and a more relaxed residential setting. Skyline Tower Residences is one of the serviced-apartment options in this part of Ba Dinh.

Hoang Hoa Tham

Hoang Hoa Tham runs along the northern side of Ba Dinh and provides convenient connections towards West Lake and Tay Ho. It is worth considering for tenants who want to balance Ba Dinh's central location with easier access to the lake.

Choosing the building is often as important as choosing the neighborhood. A tenant comparing two apartments with the same number of bedrooms may find a significant difference in facilities, management, services, views and total monthly costs.

Vinhomes Metropolis

Vinhomes Metropolis is one of the most established premium apartment developments in Ba Dinh. It is particularly suitable for tenants who want a modern high-rise environment, extensive on-site facilities and convenient access to Lieu Giai and Lotte Center.

The development includes 1- to 4-bedroom apartments, with current listings showing a range of approximately 80m² two-bedroom apartments through 110–120m² three-bedroom homes and larger four-bedroom residences. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Lotte Serviced Residence Hanoi

Lotte Serviced Residence Hanoi is designed for tenants who value a fully managed residence and direct access to the wider Lotte complex. It is particularly relevant to executives, corporate tenants and families who prioritize convenience and professional services.

Lancaster Hanoi

Lancaster Hanoi on Nui Truc Street is another established option, offering both serviced and individually rented apartments. Its central location and building facilities make it relevant to professionals and families looking for a managed residential environment.

Golden West Lake

Golden West Lake is particularly attractive to tenants looking for larger apartments, balconies and lake-oriented views. Current listings include 115m² two-bedroom apartments, making it an interesting option for tenants who want more space than is typically available in smaller central apartments. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

The Five Residences

The Five Residences is a premium serviced-apartment option for tenants who want a higher level of hotel-style management and facilities. Current property information on the site includes one-bedroom residences of approximately 58m², with facilities including an indoor swimming pool, gym, sauna and spa. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Other properties worth comparing include Mayfair Serviced Apartments and Rose Garden Tower Hanoi.

Furnished vs Serviced Apartments

Most international tenants searching in Ba Dinh will encounter both fully furnished apartments and serviced apartments. They are not necessarily the same product.

Feature Furnished Apartment Serviced Apartment
Furniture Normally included Normally included
Housekeeping Usually separate Often included or available
Internet Depends on property Often included
Utilities Usually charged separately May be partly included
Reception / management Depends on building Usually available
Facilities Depends on development Often includes shared facilities

The exact package should always be confirmed before signing. Two apartments with the same advertised monthly rent can have very different total costs once electricity, water, internet, management fees, cleaning and parking are added.

Who Ba Dinh Suits

Ba Dinh is particularly suitable for tenants who value a central location and easy access to Hanoi's diplomatic, business and cultural areas.

  • Diplomats and embassy staff: Convenient access to many diplomatic missions and central government areas.
  • International professionals: Strong access to offices, restaurants, shopping and business districts.
  • Corporate tenants: Serviced residences can simplify relocation and day-to-day property management.
  • Families: Larger 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom apartments provide substantially more living space.
  • Couples and single professionals: A wide selection of 1- and 2-bedroom furnished and serviced apartments.

Nearby Landmarks

Living in Ba Dinh provides convenient access to some of Hanoi's best-known cultural and historical landmarks, including the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Ba Dinh Square, Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh Museum, Imperial Citadel of Thang Long and One Pillar Pagoda.

The district also provides access to green and lakeside areas such as Ngoc Khanh Lake, Thu Le Park and Truc Bach Lake. Depending on the exact location, residents can also reach West Lake and the Old Quarter relatively easily.

This combination of central offices, diplomatic institutions, historic sites, restaurants and residential buildings is one of the main reasons Ba Dinh remains an important rental market for international tenants.

Renting an Apartment in Ba Dinh

Finding the right apartment is usually faster when the search starts with a clear set of requirements rather than a particular building.

  1. Set your budget: Decide the maximum monthly rent and whether utilities and services must be included.
  2. Choose the location: Identify the area that best fits your workplace, school, embassy or daily routine.
  3. Select the apartment type: Decide between a studio, 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-bedroom apartment and whether you need a serviced residence.
  4. Compare buildings: Look at management, facilities, parking, views, furnishing and total monthly costs.
  5. View the apartment: Check the actual condition, furniture, appliances, natural light, noise level and building facilities.
  6. Review the contract: Confirm rent, deposit, payment schedule, lease term, maintenance responsibilities and all included services before signing.

For tenants relocating from overseas, video tours can help create an initial shortlist, but important lease conditions and the actual apartment condition should be confirmed before committing to a long-term rental.
