With a fresh lakeside living environment and the advantage of billion-dollar infrastructure and transportation projects, West of Lake West attracts strong interest from residents and high-end investors.
On the global luxury real estate map, waterfront properties—where nature harmoniously blends with modern amenities—are highly sought after by the ultra-wealthy. Iconic examples include the Four Seasons Private Residences villas by Lake Geneva in Switzerland, the One57 penthouse overlooking Central Park—a landmark lake in New York City, and The Lakeside Estate by Lake Washington, with price tags reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. These properties have become symbols of ultimate luxury.
In Vietnam, West Lake is considered a prime location for luxury real estate, offering a unique blend of open natural landscapes and vibrant urban living. As the largest natural freshwater lake in the capital, West Lake provides a fresh living environment, scenic views, and is closely tied to rich cultural and historical values.
As a key economic gateway in the northeastern part of the capital, and uniquely situated at the intersection of the Red River and West Lake, West of Lake West stands out with its prime ‘lakeside, inner-city’ location. This rare setting offers both a natural atmosphere and access to a comprehensive urban ecosystem. The synergy of nature and modernity has attracted the elite to settle here, positioning the area as one of the most desirable places to live.
In addition to its natural landscape advantages, West of Lake West also benefits from a well-developed infrastructure system, featuring major traffic arteries and boulevards with 8 to 10 lanes, such as Vo Chi Cong Street (Ring Road 2), the extended Nguyen Van Huyen Street, and the 4-to-6-lane Au Co – Nghi Tam route. These key roads significantly enhance connectivity between West Lake West, surrounding districts, and the city’s urban core.
Nhat Tan Bridge, stretching 9.17 kilometers, serves as a vital transportation artery connecting the West Lake area to Noi Bai International Airport. Meanwhile, the newly commenced Tu Lien Bridge is set to become a major trade and traffic link between emerging economic hubs and urban zones being developed along both banks of the Red River, in line with the city’s master plan.
According to the master plan for 2030, Tay Ho District is set to become one of the capital’s most dynamic and modern administrative and economic centers, with the addition of 36 headquarters of ministries and government agencies, 13 embassies, and various offices of non-governmental organizations. The presence of Grade A office buildings and a series of international projects—such as Samsung’s R&D Center, the Lotte Mall entertainment complex, and a network of 5-star hotels including Shilla, Heritage Westlake, and L7 West Lake Hanoi by Lotte—has contributed to the formation of a diverse international community in the area.
According to surveys by Batdongsan, West of Lake West ranks among the top areas in terms of real estate transactions. Various property segments—including apartments, villas, and shophouses—have seen price increases of 70–100% over the past five years. Amid the growing scarcity of land in the city center, real estate in this area is often likened to a ‘green oasis,’ attracting strong interest and a strong desire for ownership from the capital’s elite.
For the wealthy and ultra-wealthy, real estate in this area is regarded as a legacy asset—one that symbolizes success across generations. Property owners rarely list their holdings for sale; instead, they seek to acquire more in order to expand their asset portfolios. This scarcity further acts as a catalyst, drawing heightened interest to upcoming developments.
