The Zenpark is the Japanese-themed apartment subdivision inside Vinhomes Ocean Park 1 in Gia Lam, launched by Vinhomes in December 2020 as the most premium apartment product in the township at the time.

It runs to four towers – R1.01, R1.02, R1.03 and R1.05 – of 31 storeys on a 2.88-hectare plot. The centrepiece is a 6,200 sqm Japanese garden, with a glass-roofed pool, a five-level car park and sports courts around it.

Unit mix is unusually wide. Studios start around 26 sqm and one-bedrooms around 41 to 50 sqm, which is why The Zenpark has become one of the easiest buildings in Hanoi to rent a small furnished apartment – roughly 6 to 10 million dong a month.

Location and getting around

Ocean Park 1 sits east of the city across the Red River, spread over about 420 hectares with 117 hectares of greenery and water. The township has drawn more than 60,000 residents, so this is a functioning town rather than an isolated estate.

The headline features are the 6.1-hectare saltwater lagoon and the 24.5-hectare Ngoc Trai freshwater lake, plus 62 hectares of parkland. For families with young children, that combination is hard to find anywhere else near Hanoi.

The trade-off is distance. You are in Gia Lam, not the centre, and journeys into Hoan Kiem or Ba Dinh depend on the bridges. Residents who work on the eastern side of the city or at the Bac Ninh industrial zones get the best of it.

Who it suits

  • Single tenants and couples who want a small, cheap, fully furnished apartment
  • Families drawn by the lagoon, parks and international schools inside the township
  • Japanese residents and anyone who prefers the quieter, garden-led end of Ocean Park
  • Investors chasing rental yield on studios and one-bedrooms

Before you buy or rent

  • Ask which tower you are viewing – R1.02 and R1.05 came first, and the later towers differ in finish and views
  • Confirm whether the unit faces the Japanese garden, the lagoon or an internal road, as the price gap is substantial
  • Budget for the commute realistically, and test it at peak hour before signing a long lease
  • For purchases, check the certificate is issued; most resale units in these towers now have one

What makes The Zenpark different from other Ocean Park subdivisions?

It is the only apartment subdivision in the township built around a Japanese garden, roughly 6,200 sqm, and was launched as the top Ruby-grade product in Ocean Park 1.

How much does it cost to rent at The Zenpark?

Furnished one-bedroom units of 41 to 50 sqm have been advertised from about 6 to 10 million dong a month, and two-bedrooms of 64 to 75 sqm from roughly 9 to 14 million. Confirm current rates.

How many towers are there?

Four: R1.01, R1.02, R1.03 and R1.05, each 31 storeys. R1.02 and R1.05 were released first in December 2020.

Is The Zenpark a good choice for families?

It can be, mainly because of what surrounds it – a saltwater lagoon, large parks, schools and retail all inside the township. The limitation is the commute into central Hanoi, which crosses the river.

Figures above were compiled from developer announcements and Vietnamese property press at the time of writing and can change. Always confirm unit area, ownership term and service charges in the contract before signing.
