How do I find a place to live in Hai Phong?

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

"Finding a place to live in Hai Phong involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a shared apartment to a private villa. Next, research the different neighborhoods in Hai Phong to find one that suits your lifestyle and needs. Some popular areas for expats include the city center, Do Son Beach, and Cat Ba Island. Once you have a general idea of where you'd like to live, start looking for available properties. You can do this through various online real estate platforms such as Batdongsan, MuaBanNhaDat, and AloNhaDat. These websites provide listings for a wide range of properties, including apartments, houses, and villas. Alternatively, you can also hire a local real estate agent to help you in your search. They can provide valuable insights into the local market and help negotiate rental contracts. When you find a property you're interested in, arrange a viewing. Make sure to check the condition of the property and ask about any additional costs such as maintenance fees or utility bills. Finally, once you've found a place you're happy with, you'll need to sign a rental contract. In Vietnam, rental contracts are usually signed for a minimum of one year. Make sure to read the contract carefully and understand all the terms before signing. Remember, it's also important to consider factors such as proximity to work or school, access to public transportation, and the availability of amenities such as supermarkets, restaurants, and healthcare facilities when choosing a place to live," said one person in Hai Phong.
