Hanoi Rent Index

What Nest Living is asking for the homes it has on the market in Hanoi right now, as a median, by district and bedroom count.

Recomputed from the live catalogue. Last regenerated Hanoi time. Nobody updates this page by hand.

What this is, and what it is not

This is not the Hanoi rental market. It is the asking rent on the homes Nest Living itself has on the market today: one letting agency’s book, not a survey, and not a sample drawn to represent the city. We choose which homes to take on, so the mix is ours rather than Hanoi’s.

The concentration is worth saying out loud. Of the 324 homes behind these figures, 271 are in Tây Hồ, which is 84% of the whole index. Figures for the districts where we hold only a handful of homes are thin, and the ones too thin to mean anything are not published at all rather than dressed up.

These are asking rents, not agreed rents. They are what a landlord is advertising, before any negotiation, and they exclude bills unless a listing says otherwise. A rent someone actually signed may be lower.

Median rent across every home in the index

₫15.0Mabout $591 a monthfrom 324 homes

Half the homes in the index are advertised below this and half above. The middle half of them sit between ₫10.8M to ₫26.0M, which is a better description of the spread than any single number.

Median rent by district and bedroom count

Districts are listed busiest first, which is the same order the Hanoi page uses. The count in the Homes column is the number of live homes that figure was computed from. Anything under 5 publishes no median.

Monthly asking rent in Vietnamese dong, rounded to the nearest 100,000. The middle half is the range from the 25th to the 75th percentile.

Median rent by kind of home

Across every district together. A serviced apartment is counted separately from a standard one, because it is let on different terms and usually includes services a bare flat does not.

How the homes in this index were counted

Nest Living had 328 homes on the market in Hanoi when this page last regenerated. 4 of them are left out of the figures above, for these reasons:

  • 1 not yet assigned to a district. A home whose district nobody has recorded cannot be filed under one.
  • 3 commercial units rather than homes. A shop or an office is not a home and does not belong in a residential rent guide.

That leaves 324 homes behind every figure on this page. 6 of them have no bedroom count recorded, so they count towards their district and towards their kind of home, and towards no bedroom row.

Two of the checks found nothing this time, and they are listed here so it is clear they ran: none priced per night rather than per month.

How to check these numbers

  • Median, not average. One unusually expensive house drags an average a long way and moves a median barely at all. On this page the difference is real: the five whole houses in the index have a median of ₫80.0M while one of them is advertised at several times that.
  • The median is the standard one, the same figure a database returns for percentile_cont(0.5): with an even number of homes it is the average of the middle two. The middle half is the 25th to 75th percentile, interpolated the same way. Anyone with comparable data should get the same answers.
  • Groups under 5 homes publish no median.At five, two homes have to change before the figure moves; at one or two it would just be one landlord’s asking price wearing the words “market rate”. The count is still shown, so nothing is hidden.
  • A wide middle half means the homes in that group differ a lot, and the median should be read loosely. Clearing the minimum makes a figure publishable, not precise.
  • Several homes in one building count separately, because they are let separately. In a small group that can mean one building sets the median.
  • Rents are monthly, in Vietnamese dong, rounded to the nearest 100,000. Dollar figures are converted at 25,400 to US$1, the rate this site was using when the page regenerated. The rate is read fresh each time and never stored against a figure.
  • Homes advertised at a nightly rate are excluded rather than multiplied up into a monthly one. A nightly rate and a monthly rent are different things and cannot share a median.

Why there is no chart of rents over time

Because we cannot yet draw one honestly. Nest Living’s catalogue moved into this system across a few weeks in mid-2026, so the dates on our records describe that move rather than a history of prices, and there is no earlier snapshot to compare today against. A line drawn through a single point is decoration.

We have started recording this index so that a real comparison becomes possible later. When there is enough history to say something true about which way rents have moved, that will appear here, with the same sample sizes attached.

Looking for somewhere yourself?

Every home behind these figures is on the website and can be viewed. An advisor can also look for you, including homes that are not on the website yet.

Reading a Hanoi rent figure

The headline rent is rarely the whole monthly cost. Electricity, water, building management and internet are handled differently from one building to the next, and the all-in figure is the one worth comparing between two homes. Where a landlord has itemised the bills, the listing shows them. Our renting guides cover the parts of a Hanoi lease that catch people out most often.

District matters more than almost anything else in these numbers, and so does what a district happens to hold. Tay Ho carries most of the serviced apartments and lakeside villas, which lifts its range at the top end; a district of mostly small flats will look cheaper without any individual home being better value. Compare like with like by reading down a bedroom row rather than across a district one, and treat any figure built on a handful of homes as a hint rather than a rate.
