How do I find a place to live in Vietnam?
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," remarked another expat who made the move to Hanoi, Vietnam.
"One way to find a place to live in Vietnam is to enlist the help of a real estate professional. Most cities will have reputable agents that specialize in finding rental properties for expatriates and travelers. You can also search online for rental listings in Vietnam and reach out to the posted contacts. Additionally, the Vietnamese government operates a database of available rentals open to the public. It is likely that you will be able to find a range of options, from modest apartments and small homes to upscale condominiums and villas. Finally, networking with other expats who are familiar with the housing market in Vietnam is a good way to gain insights regarding potential rental opportunities," explained one expat living in Vietnam.
