Searching for a new home in a foreign country can be frustrating and difficult. There may be tonnes of properties on the market, but often none of them quite feel like ‘home’.

In Hanoi especially, the same problems seem to pop up in accommodation time and time again: There is not enough natural light. It is too dated. The area is too crowded. It is congested and noisy. It smells of damp.

But, Kosmo Tay Ho might just have the answer to all of your rental problems. Here’s why this new development should be at the top of your list of places to live in Hanoi.

Design-Wise, You’ll Feel Right At Home

Kosmo Tay Ho is designed by the same lead architect who dreamed up residential projects in East Circular Quay — just next door to the Sydney Opera House and arguably one of the world’s most distinguished residential developments. So naturally, with experience in such high profile city developments, the architect behind Kosmo Tay Ho has ensured the apartments include all of the top quality features you’d expect in a modern urban residence.

Things like:   

1. Lots of natural light with huge windows; making the place feel bigger and helping you save money on electricity costs
2. Spacious work spaces and dining areas; ideal for house parties and having friends over for meals or drinks
3. Large bedrooms with ensuites; perfect for convenience and privacy
4. Long balconies with panoramic views of either West Lake or the Red River; think balcony BBQs or simply lounging on a hammock during Hanoi’s golden months in Spring and Autumn
5. A spacious living room to use with your imagination; turn it into a home office, children’s play corner, or music learning station
6. Extra storage in the utility balcony; great for multiple suitcases or accumulated travel memories
7. Lots of space for communal dining and entertaining — even in the smaller two-bed apartments

There’s Easy Access To Everywhere And Everything

Gone are the days when Hoan Kiem was considered central, residents and business have spread in every direction across Hanoi. For some time, it was uncertain which direction the city’s development seemed to be shifting in, but now it is clear that west is the place to be!

Whether you want to visit Cau Giay (5 mins), Tay Ho’s restaurants, international community, and schools (6 mins), Ciputra (1 min), the airport (15 mins), or even Northern Vietnam’s gorgeous countryside for a weekend getaway, Kosmo Tay Ho is only a stone’s throw away.

Make ‘Entertainment’ Your Middle Name

If you live around West Lake already, we do not need to tell you that the area is in dire need of a cinema. Well, not for long — Kosmo Tay Ho is finally bringing a cinema to this side of the city! Along with it, there will be retail space, multipurpose Sky Gardens, BBQ pits, two heated swimming pools and a jacuzzi! So if you ever wanted to live in the new ‘place to be’, renting an apartment at Kosmo Tay Ho is bound to make your home the hub of entertainment for friends and family.

Combine Home Comforts With Local Culture

Many foreigners who love Vietnam’s rich culture and heritage have a bit of a complicated relationship with the West Lake area. Sure, it is a great place for food, drink, and entertainment, but it does not necessarily reflect Hanoi’s vibrant identity on the whole, seemingly home to more foreigners than locals and falling short on some of the best bits of Vietnamese culture. “Hanoi lite”, if you will.

To be fully immersed in the local culture, some choose to live in the Old Quarter or Ba Dinh, across the bridge in Gia Lam or even in the French Quarter of Hai Ba Trung District.

North Tu Liem District is a truly Vietnamese area to the west of Lac Long Quan that lends itself to great integration into Vietnamese culture, with all the perks of West Lake just a six-minute drive away. But with thousands of new residents moving into various developments on Xuan Dieu and Quang An in the coming year, Tay Ho as we know it is about to get much busier.

“Kosmo Tay Ho is actually a gateway to the Tay Ho district, a dynamic changing cityscape,” says lead architect of Kosmo Tay Ho John Bilmon.

“I believe the Kosmo Tay Ho towers are truly a worthy addition to this exciting district… I think it would be a wonderful place to grow a family and to relax as a resident.”

Everything Is Brand New, And It Works!  

It is no secret that some of the accommodation in Hanoi is not necessarily built to last. Walls may be coated with fresh paint and rooms may be fitted with shiny, new facilities, but these things often do not last the year — and some of them do not work at all!

At Kosmo Tay Ho, all 648 apartments are as good as they look. With a brand new build, made to international standards in a cleaner part of town, you are going to enjoy that ‘just built’ novelty for a long time yet. No damp, no leaks, and all the facilities work just as they should.
