Renting in Vinhomes Gardenia

Vinhomes Gardenia is a 17.6-hectare Vingroup development on Hàm Nghi in Mỹ Đình, Nam Từ Liêm, the first the group built in west Hanoi. It is laid out either side of Hàm Nghi and is mostly low-rise: The Botanica’s villas, townhouses and shophouses sit among gardens, beside the three apartment towers of The Arcadia. A Vinschool primary school is inside, and Metro Line 3’s Cầu Diễn station is a short walk north.

Families who want a house with a garden in west Hanoi, especially with children at the Vinschool primary school inside or the Japanese School of Hanoi along Hàm Nghi, and people who commute on Metro Line 3.

Inside Vinhomes Gardenia

• The Arcadia (A1, A2, A3): Three apartment towers on Hàm Nghi, with flats from one bedroom up to four bedrooms and duplexes, set around a 50-metre outdoor pool.
• The Botanica: The low-rise area of villas, townhouses and shophouses along the main landscaped avenue, among gardens, tennis courts and a jogging track.

Schools, health and shopping

• Schools: Vinschool’s Gardenia primary school is inside the development on Violet 1 street. The Japanese School of Hanoi is about 600 metres further east along Hàm Nghi.
• Parks and water: The plan is built around gardens, among them a water-lily garden, a Japanese garden and a tai chi garden, and the development looks towards the Nhuệ River.
• Sport: The Arcadia has a 50-metre outdoor pool and tennis courts, and The Botanica has tennis courts, cycle lanes and a jogging track.
• Transport: Cầu Diễn station on Metro Line 3 is on Hồ Tùng Mậu, a few hundred metres north of the development.

Getting there

• By road, about 12 km to Hoàn Kiếm Lake (15 to 20 minutes) and 25 km to Nội Bài Airport (25 to 30 minutes), with no traffic.
• Metro Line 3 (Nhổn – Hanoi railway station) stops at Cầu Diễn station, just north of the development; its elevated section from Nhổn to Cầu Giấy opened on 8 August 2024.
• Hàm Nghi runs through the middle of the development, and Hồ Tùng Mậu, with Cầu Diễn station, runs just to the north.

Good to know

• Most homes here are houses rather than flats: there are only three apartment towers, so it is far less dense than the tower clusters nearby.
• Vinschool’s primary school is inside, and the Japanese School of Hanoi is on the same street, Hàm Nghi.
