Westlake Lifestyle
From sunset views and boutique cafes to premium residences and vibrant expat communities, Westlake offers one of the most desirable living experiences in Vietnam.
Why Foreigners
Choose Westlake
Westlake or Tay Ho is widely regarded as the most international and desirable residential area in the capital. Home to diplomats, business executives and long-term expatriates, the area offers a unique balance between luxury living, greenery and convenience.
For decades, Westlake has also been associated with Vietnam’s “old money” community — a neighborhood known for quiet luxury, privacy and refined living rather than flashy development. Large villas, boutique residences and peaceful lakeside streets create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and timeless.
Surrounded by the iconic West Lake, the area is known for its open views, greenery and lower population density compared to the inner districts of Hanoi. Residents enjoy lakeside cafes, international restaurants, premium wellness clubs and a relaxed lifestyle rarely found in a major Asian capital.
Westlake is also home to many embassies, international schools and high-end residential developments, making it especially attractive for foreign families and investors seeking both lifestyle value and long-term property potential.
Best Area in Westlake
for Foreigners
North Westlake - Ciputra & Vuon Dao Area
The northern side of Westlake is home to some of Hanoi’s most established high-end residential communities, especially Ciputra and the Vuon Dao area stretching from D’. El Dorado to PentStudio. Known for wide roads, organized planning and premium living standards, this area has long been favored by both developers and affluent buyers. With a large international population, gated compounds and strong rental demand from expat families, North Westlake remains one of the most stable and valuable real estate markets in Hanoi.
West Westlake - Starlake & The New Administrative Center
The western side of Westlake is emerging as Hanoi’s new international and financial hub. Anchored by the Starlake urban area developed by Daewoo, the district features luxury residences, modern infrastructure and major commercial developments including Samsung R&D Center, Shilla Hotel and Takashimaya Mall. The area is also planned as the new administrative center of Hanoi, home to many government ministries and future embassy compounds. With large-scale urban planning and limited premium land supply, West Westlake is becoming one of the city’s most valuable real estate destinations.
East Westlake - Future Riverside Development Zone
The eastern side of Westlake currently offers very limited property options for foreign buyers. However, this area is expected to transform significantly in the future as Hanoi expands toward the Red River. The area is already home to some of Hanoi’s most iconic international hotels, including InterContinental Hanoi Westlake, Sheraton Hanoi Hotel and Pan Pacific Hanoi, reinforcing its reputation as one of the capital’s most prestigious waterfront destinations. Future riverside urban developments and infrastructure projects are expected to create a modern waterfront district connecting East Westlake with the city center.
South Westlake - Prime Central Living Near Ba Dinh
South Westlake enjoys a strategic location between the lake and the traditional center of Hanoi, especially the former Ba Dinh district. This makes the area highly prestigious, convenient and extremely valuable in terms of real estate. Property supply here is limited, especially for foreign ownership, while demand remains consistently strong due to its central location and proximity to embassies and government offices.
Quang An Peninsula - The Heart of Westlake Lifestyle
Quang An is the iconic peninsula at the center of Westlake and is widely considered one of Hanoi’s most prestigious residential enclaves. Surrounded by water and rich in heritage, the area combines quiet luxury, privacy and a unique international atmosphere. For decades, Quang An has been the main expat hub of Hanoi, offering a vibrant mix of boutique cafes, restaurants, bars and lakeside residences. At the same time, the neighborhood is also home to many discreet villas owned by Vietnam’s ultra-wealthy families, creating a rare balance between international lifestyle and old-money elegance.
