About Tay Ho Living

The American Professional.
The Hanoi Local.

Founded by Scott McCallum, an American who has called Hanoi home for over a decade. Tay Ho Living connects discerning tenants with premium landlords in Hanoi's most coveted district.

Scott's Story

When Scott McCallum first arrived in Hanoi in 2016, he was immediately drawn to the serene beauty of West Lake and the vibrant energy of Tay Ho District. What began as a temporary stay quickly became a permanent chapter. Over the past 10 years, Scott has built a life deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture while maintaining the professional standards of his American upbringing.

Six years ago, Scott recognized a gap in the market. High-income expats — embassy staff, international school teachers, and foreign executives — struggled to find quality housing that matched their expectations. Language barriers, opaque pricing, and unfamiliar lease terms created unnecessary friction. Scott saw an opportunity to bridge that gap.

Being able to speak both English and Vietnamese, Scott works directly with landlords he knows personally. There are no middlemen, no surprises, and no hidden fees. Every property in the Tay Ho Living portfolio has been personally vetted, ensuring it meets the standards that discerning professionals expect.

Today, Tay Ho Living specializes in luxury properties across Hanoi. Scott handles everything from property tours to contract negotiations, making the process seamless and stress-free.
