Ecopark has become one of the top residential destinations near Hanoi — not just for Vietnamese families, but also for expats, professionals, and foreign families who want a peaceful, green, and modern living environment.
If you’re a foreigner planning to live in Vietnam, you’ll be happy to know that renting a house in Ecopark is simple and straightforward — as long as you understand the local process.
This practical guide will walk you through every step, from searching for a property to signing the contract and settling in.
Before starting your search, it’s helpful to know what kinds of homes are available in Ecopark. Depending on your lifestyle and budget, you can choose from:

Renting in Ecopark as a foreigner is legally supported and safe. Here’s what you’ll usually need:
A valid passport
A valid visa or residence card
Work permit (optional, but sometimes requested for long-term rental)
A local contact or agent (recommended to help with communication and paperwork)
👉 You don’t need to own property or have permanent residency to rent in Ecopark.
While it’s possible to search on your own, many foreigners face language barriers and are unfamiliar with local procedures. That’s why working with a reputable real estate agent can make your experience smooth and stress-free.
A good agent will:
Help you find properties that match your needs and budget
Schedule viewings and negotiate with landlords
Translate and explain the contract clearly
Handle deposits and legal paperwork properly
👉 This is where Sapphire Realtor stands out. With over 8 years of experience in Ecopark, we’ve helped many expats settle into their new homes easily and confidently.
Most rental contracts in Ecopark are written in both Vietnamese and English. Typical terms include:
Rental period: usually 6–12 months (sometimes flexible)
Deposit: normally 1–2 months’ rent
Payment: monthly or quarterly
Responsibilities: clearly state who pays for utilities, internet, maintenance, etc.
💡 Pro tip: Never sign a contract you don’t fully understand. Ask your agent or a trusted translator to go through it with you.
After both sides agree on the terms, you’ll need to:
Pay the deposit (usually 1–2 months’ rent)
Pay the first month of rent
Receive the keys and an inventory checklist for the property
Most landlords prefer bank transfers in VND, but some may accept USD or other currencies for expats.
Vietnam requires foreigners to register their temporary residence. Don’t worry — this process is usually very simple.
If you rent through an agent, they will help you handle the paperwork with the building management and local police.
Registration is typically completed within 1–2 days.
You’ll receive a confirmation that allows you to legally reside in your rental home.
👉 This step protects you legally and is often required when extending visas or applying for work permits.
Once your paperwork is done, it’s time to make Ecopark your new home. Many foreigners love living here because of:
Clean, fresh air and beautiful green spaces
A safe and friendly community
International schools, healthcare services, and modern amenities
Easy shuttle access to Hanoi city center
Whether you prefer a quiet villa by the lake or a modern apartment near shops and cafés, Ecopark offers a lifestyle that’s hard to find elsewhere in Vietnam.
For foreigners, the biggest challenge isn’t finding a home — it’s finding a trustworthy partner to make the process simple, transparent, and stress-free.
