Synchronized Infrastructure – A Powerful Catalyst for Market Appeal

Entering the third quarter of 2025, the eastern Hanoi real estate market is recording strong momentum, emerging as one of the most dynamic growth areas in the capital. This acceleration is driven by the convergence of multiple favorable factors, including rapidly advancing infrastructure, a diversified supply of property products, clear legal frameworks, and the proactive participation of reputable developers.

Clear signs of market recovery are opening a new phase of stable and attractive growth, particularly in key areas such as Long Bien, Gia Lam, Yen Vien, and Dong Anh.

The acceleration of major infrastructure projects in eastern Hanoi during the first half of 2025 has created a significant boost for the market. Notable developments include Urban Railway Line No. 8 (Long Bien – Co Loa), Phase Two of Vinh Tuy Bridge, and key connector roads linking to Ring Road Three and Ring Road Four. The completion of these transportation networks not only shortens travel time to the city center but also substantially enhances property values across the region.

Architect Tran Ngoc Chinh, former Deputy Minister of Construction and Chairman of the Vietnam Association of Urban Planning and Development, commented that eastern Hanoi is a highly promising area thanks to its outstanding infrastructure development. Once major transport projects are completed, real estate values are expected to increase sustainably, forming a solid foundation for modern urbanization.

In contrast to the limited supply in many inner-city districts, eastern Hanoi currently offers a relatively abundant pipeline across multiple segments, including apartments, townhouses, villas, and shophouses. Leading developers such as Vingroup, Eurowindow Holding, Masterise Homes, Ecopark, and BRG Group are actively rolling out well-planned projects with integrated amenities and synchronized infrastructure.

A representative of a major brokerage firm in Long Bien reported that buyer interest in eastern Hanoi during June and July of 2025 increased by approximately 25 to 30 percent year on year. Demand is not only coming from Hanoi residents but also from investors in Ho Chi Minh City and Hai Phong, seeking early entry into a high-growth market.

Transaction Surge – Eastern Hanoi Leads Market Share in the Second Quarter of 2025

According to a report by One Mount Group, eastern Hanoi recorded more than 9,200 transactions in the second quarter of 2025, accounting for 32 percent of the city’s total market share, leading the market alongside western Hanoi. Looking ahead to the third quarter of 2025, the area is expected to maintain strong performance thanks to a robust pipeline of new launches, flexible sales policies, and a rising proportion of end-user demand.

Notably, low-rise housing and mid-range apartment segments in eastern Hanoi are achieving high absorption rates, with several projects recording sell-through levels of over 75 percent within just one to two months of launch.

Dr. Nguyen Van Dinh, Chairman of the Vietnam Association of Realtors (VARS), noted that eastern Hanoi is making breakthroughs in infrastructure, product quality, and market liquidity. He emphasized that this is one of the most comprehensively developed urban areas at present, offering strong prospects for medium- to long-term investors.

While apartment prices in Hanoi’s inner districts have reached levels of 100 to 120 million Vietnamese dong per square meter, eastern Hanoi continues to offer more accessible pricing. In Long Bien and Gia Lam, high-end apartment prices currently range from 55 to 90 million Vietnamese dong per square meter, depending on project and segment. For low-rise products, villa and townhouse prices in certain areas range from 11 to 16 billion Vietnamese dong per unit, which is considered reasonable given the area’s well-structured planning and strong growth prospects.

Mr. Tran Khanh Quang, Chief Executive Officer of Viet An Hoa Real Estate Company, stated that compared with other suburban areas of Hanoi, eastern Hanoi stands out in terms of pricing, infrastructure connectivity, and upside potential. Investors entering the market in 2025 may reasonably expect annual returns of around 10 to 15 percent.

Surveys conducted by VARS and Batdongsan.com.vn in June and July of 2025 show that over 60 percent of transactions in eastern Hanoi were driven by owner-occupiers, primarily young families and buyers seeking long-term residence. Meanwhile, short-term speculative activity has declined significantly compared to the 2022-2023 period.

This shift in buyer sentiment is contributing to healthier and more sustainable market development, while creating clearer opportunities for long-term investors.

Legal and Credit Policies Support Market Recovery

As Hanoi’s real estate market continues its gradual and sustainable recovery, eastern Hanoi has emerged as a standout destination, benefiting from synchronized infrastructure investment, the formation of modern urban areas, high-quality product supply, transparent legal frameworks, and pricing with ample room for appreciation.

Entering 2025, the market has gained additional momentum from flexible credit policies and an increasingly complete legal framework. Decree Number Ninety Five slash Two Thousand Twenty Four, guiding the amended Housing Law and Real Estate Business Law, has provided clearer legal pathways for property transactions, particularly for foreign buyers, overseas Vietnamese, and foreign organizations.

At the same time, the State Bank of Vietnam’s flexible interest rate adjustments have helped unlock credit flows for genuine buyers. Projects with clear legal status, clean land, and transparent planning are now accessing financing more easily compared to the 2023-2024 period.

With multiple positive signals in place, industry experts believe that eastern Hanoi is entering a favorable phase for both homebuyers and long-term investors. Strong infrastructure development, high-quality supply, solid legal foundations, and attractive pricing are forming a robust platform for eastern Hanoi to continue its breakthrough and maintain a leading position in Hanoi’s real estate market through the end of 2025 and beyond.
