Apartments for Rent in Cau Giay, Hanoi 

Apartments for rent in Cau Giay, Hanoi include furnished condominiums, serviced apartments, family apartments and larger penthouses across established residential areas such as Xuan Thuy, Cau Giay Street, Dich Vong, Yen Hoa and the wider Starlake area. Current listings on this page range from about 50m² one-bedroom apartments to 350–360m² penthouses, with asking rents currently shown from approximately $550 to $6,000 per month depending on size, building, furnishing and services.

Cau Giay remains one of Hanoi's most established western residential and business areas, particularly popular with expatriates, international professionals, corporate tenants and families. The administrative boundaries changed in 2025, but “Cau Giay” remains an important real-estate search term and is still widely used when referring to the broader residential market around the former district. The area also benefits from Metro Line 3, with the elevated Nhon–Cau Giay section operating commercially since August 2024.

Hanoi Real Estate provides access to both conventional apartments and serviced residences, allowing tenants to compare properties by location, bedroom count, living area, furnishing, facilities and monthly rent rather than choosing solely by building name.

Quick Links

Cau Giay Location and Connectivity

Cau Giay is an established residential and commercial area in western Hanoi. The area is connected by major roads including Cau Giay Street, Xuan Thuy, Tran Duy Hung, Nguyen Van Huyen, Pham Hung and Duy Tan, giving residents access to offices, universities, shopping, restaurants and other parts of Hanoi.

In 2025, Hanoi reorganised its commune-level administrative structure. The current Cau Giay Ward was established from parts of the former Cau Giay and Nam Tu Liem districts. For property searches, however, “Cau Giay” continues to describe a much broader residential market than the boundary of the current ward alone. This distinction is important when comparing apartments advertised as being “in Cau Giay”.

Metro and Public Transport

The elevated section of Hanoi Metro Line 3 between Nhon and Cau Giay has been in commercial operation since August 2024. The route includes eight elevated stations, including Chua Ha and Cau Giay, providing another public transport option for residents living and working along the western corridor.

The underground section between Cau Giay and Hanoi Railway Station is still under development, so tenants should distinguish between the currently operating elevated section and future metro connections when evaluating a property's transport advantages.

Roads and Daily Commuting

For tenants, the most useful way to evaluate a Cau Giay apartment is by considering the daily route to work, school and essential services. Properties close to Xuan Thuy, Cau Giay Street, Nguyen Van Huyen, Duy Tan and Tran Duy Hung can suit different commuting patterns, while properties farther west may offer larger homes and newer developments.

Xuan Thuy and Cau Giay Street

The Xuan Thuy and Cau Giay Street corridor is one of the area's most established apartment locations. It offers convenient access to universities, offices, retail facilities and Metro Line 3. Indochina Plaza Hanoi is one of the best-known residential developments in this part of the area.

Dich Vong and Yen Hoa

Dich Vong and Yen Hoa combine established residential streets with newer apartment buildings. These areas can be suitable for tenants who want a balance between access to offices and universities and a more residential environment.

Tran Duy Hung and Trung Hoa

The Tran Duy Hung and Trung Hoa area is particularly convenient for residents working around western Hanoi's office and commercial corridors. It also has a wide choice of restaurants, supermarkets and everyday services, including a strong Korean and Japanese presence.

Starlake and Nearby Areas

Starlake is a master-planned urban development in the Tay Ho Tay area. The official Starlake information identifies a 186.3-hectare urban development and a residential apartment complex with 603 apartments across three 24-storey towers. The development is positioned close to West Lake and Hoang Quoc Viet and has access to a growing network of offices, education and residential facilities.

Because Starlake extends beyond the current Cau Giay Ward boundary, it is more accurate to describe it as part of the broader western Hanoi rental market rather than simply as a Cau Giay apartment project.

Apartment Types and Sizes

Serviced Apartments

Serviced apartments are designed for tenants who want furnished accommodation with building or operator-provided services. Depending on the property, services may include housekeeping, internet, reception, security, utilities or access to facilities. The exact package varies by building and lease, so tenants should confirm which services are included before signing.

They are particularly practical for corporate tenants, expatriates relocating to Hanoi and residents who prefer a ready-to-move-in home without arranging furniture or household equipment themselves.

Furnished Condominiums

Furnished condominiums generally provide more independence than a serviced apartment. They are suitable for tenants planning a longer stay who want a conventional residential layout while avoiding the cost and effort of furnishing the property themselves.

Available layouts commonly include one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, although the exact choice depends on the building and current inventory.

Unfurnished Apartments

Unfurnished apartments can be suitable for long-term tenants who already own furniture or want to arrange their home themselves. Before renting, check exactly what is included in the handover, particularly kitchen equipment, air conditioning, curtains, wardrobes, water heaters and appliances.

Current Rental Prices

Current listings on this page show a wide rental range, from approximately $550 to $6,000 per month. This should not be interpreted as an average market rent because the inventory includes standard apartments, serviced residences and large penthouses.

Choosing an Apartment in Cau Giay

The right apartment depends less on the building's marketing description and more on how well the property matches your daily requirements.

  • For single professionals: a well-located one-bedroom or serviced apartment can reduce commuting time and simplify day-to-day living.
  • For couples: two-bedroom apartments provide additional workspace or guest accommodation.
  • For families: three- and four-bedroom apartments offer more living space and may be preferable near schools and parks.
  • For corporate tenants: serviced apartments can reduce the need to arrange furniture, internet and household services separately.
  • For longer-term tenants: conventional furnished or unfurnished condominiums may offer greater flexibility.

When comparing properties, check the actual apartment rather than relying only on the building's facilities. Two units in the same building can differ considerably in furniture quality, view, floor level, maintenance and landlord terms.

Renting an Apartment in Cau Giay

  1. Define your preferred area, bedroom count, approximate size and monthly budget.
  2. Shortlist properties based on location and actual availability.
  3. Confirm furnishing, facilities, utilities and services included in the quoted rent.
  4. Inspect the apartment and building before making a decision.
  5. Confirm lease duration, deposit, payment schedule and notice terms.
  6. Review the bilingual lease carefully before signing.
  7. Record the apartment's condition and included equipment at handover.

For long-term rentals, tenants should pay particular attention to what is included in the rent. Electricity, water, management fees, internet, housekeeping, parking and tax arrangements can differ substantially between properties.
