Summary: An expat should search for a home to buy in Vietnam by researching the local real estate market and consulting with a real estate agent who is familiar with the area. It is also important to consider the location, size, and price of the property. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Vietnam, but there are restrictions on the type of property that can be purchased. For example, foreigners are not allowed to own land, but they can own apartments, villas, and houses. Houses in Vietnam typically include amenities such as air conditioning, internet access, and security systems. Depending on the location and price, some houses may also include a swimming pool, garden, and other luxury features.

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Look for established apartments with garden, close to work and shops, accessible but quiet, on the same side of town as airport, with trees and parks," said one person in Hanoi.
