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...
"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," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Vietnam.
"Pure business matter; we could lease an industrial land plot on good conditions; housing was more difficult because of regulations at that moment," commented one expat who made the move to Phan Thiet, Vietnam.
