Hanoi’s Real Estate Market: Shifting Eastward Amid Rising Prices
As Hanoi’s real estate market enters a new growth phase with steady and sustainable price increases, primary apartment prices in the capital reached nearly 100 million VND/m² by late 2025. This surge reflects escalating land and construction costs, coupled with a dominance of high-end supply, making the 3–5 billion VND segment—once a “safe zone” for young families—increasingly scarce and inaccessible.
Amid Hanoi’s soaring condo prices over the past two years, owning a quality home at a reasonable cost has become a daunting challenge for the younger generation. With inner-city prices far exceeding affordability, the shift in demand toward peripheral areas is more pronounced than ever. These regions, equipped with integrated transport infrastructure like metro lines and inter-regional highways, offer green, modern living while maintaining strong connections to the city center.
In this challenging landscape, The Parkland—the first project within MIK Group’s Imperia Ocean City high-rise complex—emerges as the perfect urban living solution in Hanoi’s Eastern district. More than just a residential complex, The Parkland introduces the “Non-Linear City” concept, prioritizing human-centric design, blending international architecture, lush greenery, and superior amenities.
The Parkland emphasizes high green density and multi-tiered amenities, including a central park and outdoor pool, while adhering to international operational standards. This ensures residents enjoy a balanced lifestyle without compromising affordability, making it an ideal choice for those seeking sustainable investment value and exceptional living quality.
Forest Garden: The New Green Oasis at The Parkland
Forest Garden stands out as The Parkland’s most sought-after subzone, thanks to its prime location, premium amenities, and innovative design. A key highlight is its panoramic views of the central park and lake, offering residents a serene retreat after a long day, complemented by satellite parks integrated into each residential cluster.
Embracing resort-style living, Forest Garden delivers a multi-dimensional experience: dynamic amenities like an outdoor pool, gym, and sports complex; rejuvenating spaces including a yoga garden, tropical stream, and fountains; and modern connectivity features such as a plaza, children’s playground, BBQ garden, and outdoor dining area.
Inspired by the Metropolitan Waterway concept—a fusion of American urban modernity and Vietnam’s riverine islands—Forest Garden’s interiors are crafted by Southeast Asia’s leading design firm, Ong&Ong. The result is an internationally optimized living space. Flexible layouts range from studios to 3-bedroom units (56–80 m²), duplexes (113–115 m²), and penthouses (126–149 m²), catering to diverse lifestyles and preferences.
Despite its resort-living standards, Forest Garden offers prices tailored to the majority of buyers, with total costs ranging from 3–5 billion VND—the hottest market segment today.
Early booking customers benefit from an exceptionally attractive sales policy: up to 20% discounts, 0% interest until handover (scheduled for Q1/2029), 70% mortgage support, and 24 months of free management fees. Additionally, Forest Garden buyers have a chance to win a Mercedes C200 Avantgarde Plus and other valuable gifts.
Exclusive incentives for Forest Garden homeowners
These incentives appeal not only to end-users but also to mid-term investors, given the Eastern district’s strong price appreciation potential. Ongoing infrastructure projects—including Ring Road 4, the new Ngoc Hoi Bridge, metro lines, Gia Binh Airport, and Hung Yen’s industrial zones—promise significant growth, attracting thousands of workers.
Compared to neighboring projects, Forest Garden offers superior profit margins, with competitive starting prices and flexible financial support, ensuring accessibility without market peak risks. It’s a smart investment and strategic move to capitalize on Hanoi’s eastward urban migration, where property values are projected to rise 20–30% in the next 2–3 years.
