By a National Assembly resolution on reorganising provincial units, Hai Duong province merged into Hai Phong city on 1 July 2025, and the district level was abolished. For anyone looking at real estate in former Hai Duong, it is the biggest change in years: the area now shares one city with a seaport, an international airport and major economic zones.
Why the area attracts investors
- Between Hanoi and Hai Phong port: National Highway 5, the Hanoi – Hai Phong expressway and the Hanoi – Hai Phong railway all cross it.
- An established industrial base: parks such as Dai An, Phuc Dien, Nam Sach, Tan Truong, Lai Vu and Cong Hoa drive demand for housing and services.
- Prices still below central Hai Phong, while connecting infrastructure is being upgraded after the merger.
Property types worth watching
- Serviced land and townhouses in planned residential areas
- Rental housing near industrial parks
- Ready-built factories and warehouses near Highway 5 and expressway junctions, PQT's core expertise
Legal checklist
The 2024 Land Law and the 2023 Real Estate Business and Housing Laws took effect on 1 August 2024. Before buying, verify the land-use certificate, land-use and construction plans, the developer's licences and 1/500 detailed plan, any disputes or mortgages, real infrastructure on the ground, and the new ward or commune names after the reorganisation.
