Apartments for Rent in Dong Da, Hanoi
Apartments for rent in Dong Da, Hanoi include furnished apartments, serviced residences, duplexes and larger family homes across established residential areas such as Lang Ha, Duong Lang, Ba Mau Lake, Hoang Cau, Nguyen Chi Thanh, Thai Ha, Tay Son and Kham Thien. Current listings on this page range from compact apartments to large multi-bedroom residences and penthouses, with asking rents varying according to size, building, furnishing, floor, view and included services.
Dong Da is one of Hanoi's most established central residential areas and remains popular with professionals, expatriates, couples, families and corporate tenants who want convenient access to central Hanoi without limiting their search to the Old Quarter. The area combines major commercial streets, universities, hospitals, local markets, restaurants and lakeside residential pockets.
The current apartment selection includes options from around 70m² to 360m², with visible asking rents ranging from approximately USD 800 to USD 7,500 per month. These figures represent individual properties currently displayed on the website rather than a district-wide average, so the actual rent for a suitable apartment should be assessed from the building, location, size, condition and lease package.
Dong Da Rental Market
Dong Da offers a different residential experience from Hanoi's dedicated expatriate enclaves. It is centrally positioned, highly urbanized and closely connected to major employment, education, healthcare and commercial areas. For many tenants, the main advantage is being able to choose between modern high-rise apartments and smaller furnished or serviced buildings within the same broad location.
The local rental market is diverse. A tenant may find a compact one-bedroom apartment, a two-bedroom family residence, a larger three-bedroom apartment, a lake-view property, a duplex or a high-end penthouse. Because the housing stock varies considerably, comparing the individual property is more useful than relying on a single area-wide rental figure.
Apartment Types and Sizes
The right apartment type depends mainly on household size, budget, lease length, furnishing requirements and proximity to work or school.
Studio and 1-Bedroom Apartments
Studios and one-bedroom apartments are suitable for single professionals and couples who want a central Hanoi location without paying for unnecessary space. Furnished options are particularly practical for tenants relocating to Hanoi or staying for a defined period.
2-Bedroom Apartments
Two-bedroom apartments are among the most versatile choices for Dong Da. They can work well for couples, small families, colleagues sharing accommodation or professionals who need a separate home office. Depending on the building, tenants may find balconies, lake views, two bathrooms, modern kitchens and full furnishing.
3-Bedroom Apartments
Three-bedroom apartments provide substantially more living and storage space and are better suited to families, corporate tenants or professionals who require dedicated work areas. Current Dong Da listings include both conventional apartments and larger duplex-style layouts.
Larger Apartments, Duplexes and Penthouses
For tenants who prioritize space, views or distinctive layouts, Dong Da also has larger duplexes and penthouses. Current listings include a 360m² duplex penthouse overlooking Hoang Cau Lake, demonstrating the upper end of the local rental inventory.
Rental Prices in Dong Da
There is no single rental price for an apartment in Dong Da. Monthly rent is influenced by the apartment's floor area, bedroom count, building, floor, view, furniture, condition, parking arrangement and whether the property is individually managed or operated as a serviced apartment.

Best Areas to Rent
Dong Da is not a uniform rental market. The best location depends on where you work, how often you travel across Hanoi and whether you prioritize shopping, lake views, quieter streets, major roads or access to specific buildings.
Lang Ha and Duong Lang
Lang Ha and the Duong Lang corridor are practical choices for professionals who want central access to offices, restaurants, retail and major roads connecting Dong Da with Ba Dinh and western Hanoi. The area includes both established apartment buildings and newer premium developments.
Lancaster Luminaire apartment rental is one example of the premium inventory currently associated with this corridor.
Ba Mau Lake and O Dong Lam
The streets around Ba Mau Lake and O Dong Lam are worth considering for tenants who want a quieter residential setting while remaining close to central Hanoi. Current listings include furnished two- and three-bedroom apartments with lake views and larger duplex layouts.
Modern 2-bedroom lake-view apartment and another furnished apartment on O Dong Lam Street illustrate the type of inventory available in this pocket.
Hoang Cau and Mai Anh Tuan
Hoang Cau is particularly relevant to tenants who value lake views, larger apartments and a residential environment close to major central roads. The available stock includes furnished apartments, serviced residences and larger premium homes.
For tenants looking for a high-end option, the current inventory includes a 360m² Hoang Cau Lake-view duplex penthouse.
Nguyen Chi Thanh and Huynh Thuc Khang
This corridor connects Dong Da with Ba Dinh and is convenient for professionals working around major office, commercial and diplomatic areas. Although some properties are technically associated with Ba Dinh rather than Dong Da, the location is relevant when comparing apartments around the boundary between the two areas.
Vinhomes Nguyen Chi Thanh offers furnished apartments in a managed residential development with facilities including retail, fitness and swimming facilities.
Thai Ha, Tay Son and Kham Thien
These established urban corridors provide access to restaurants, local shops, offices, universities and everyday services. They can be useful alternatives for tenants who prefer a central location and practical access to different parts of Hanoi rather than a resort-style residential environment.
Current listings include two-bedroom apartments on Kham Thien Street and larger three-bedroom apartments around Lang Ha.
Furnished vs Serviced Apartments
Furnished and serviced apartments should not be treated as the same product. A furnished apartment normally provides furniture and appliances, while a serviced apartment may also include professional management and services such as housekeeping, reception, internet or selected utilities.

What to Check Before Renting
A good apartment is not determined by monthly rent alone. Before committing to a property, compare the following:
-
Exact location and travel time to work or school
-
Actual usable floor area
-
Natural light and apartment orientation
-
Noise levels during peak traffic hours
-
Furniture and appliance condition
-
Air-conditioning and hot-water systems
-
Internet availability and reliability
-
Parking arrangements
-
Management and security
-
Housekeeping and other included services
-
Electricity, water and management charges
-
Deposit and payment schedule
-
Lease term and early-termination conditions
-
Responsibility for repairs and maintenance
For lake-view or high-floor apartments, it is particularly useful to inspect the actual view, natural light and surrounding noise rather than relying only on listing photographs.
How to Rent an Apartment
-
Define your requirements: Set your monthly budget, preferred location, bedroom count, furnishing level and move-in date.
-
Shortlist suitable properties: Compare several apartments rather than selecting solely by advertised rent.
-
Arrange viewings: Inspect the actual apartment, building, access, parking and surrounding streets.
-
Confirm the rental package: Ask which utilities, cleaning, internet, management fees and other services are included.
-
Review the lease: Confirm rent, deposit, payment schedule, lease duration, maintenance responsibilities and termination terms.
-
Complete handover: Record the property's condition, furniture and equipment before moving in.
For tenants relocating from overseas, online property tours can help create an initial shortlist, but important lease conditions and the actual condition of the property should still be confirmed before signing a long-term agreement.
