Social housing in Hanoi is "hot", thousands of people waiting to submit applications every day
In the last days of October 2025, dozens of Hanoians have stayed up all night, lining up to submit documents to buy social housing in Dong Anh commune (Hanoi).
Although the investor only started receiving the application at 9am, from midnight people came, bringing chairs, blankets, food, and drinks to keep a seat, hoping to win a place to buy an apartment for 20.6 million VND/m2 - a price considered a rare "soft" in the midst of the storm of real estate prices in Hanoi.
According to records, every day, the number of people coming to submit applications to buy social housing in this project is very large. Faced with that reality, the investor has adjusted the organization method to create more convenience for the people. Accordingly, all those who come to submit their application in the morning are given consecutive numbers and specific instructions on the time frame to receive the application, helping people not have to wait in line overnight to submit their application. It is known that the social housing project in Uy No commune (now Dong Anh commune) has 419 apartments for sale and 47 apartments for rent, priced from 824 million to more than 1.5 billion VND/apartment, handed over in the fourth quarter of 2026.
