Rental Apartments in Da Nang Vietnam - Take 2

Описание: If you’re searching for houses in Vietnam, apartments in Da Nang, or seriously considering moving to Vietnam long term, this video is for you. What started as a casual idea quickly became a real conversation when my parents began considering spending a full year living in Vietnam. That meant one thing — house hunting, properly.

Da Nang is one of the fastest-growing cities in Vietnam for expats, retirees, and long-stay travellers. It offers a rare balance: modern infrastructure, affordable living, international healthcare, beaches, mountains, and a slower pace of life compared to cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. For many foreigners, it’s the first place in Vietnam that genuinely feels liveable long term rather than overwhelming.

This video focuses on finding accommodation in Da Nang with the mindset of settling, not backpacking. When you’re moving to Vietnam for months or a year, your priorities shift. It’s no longer about cheap rent alone — it’s about comfort, space, light, noise levels, neighbourhoods, walkability, and whether a place actually feels like home.

Apartment hunting in Vietnam can feel confusing at first. Unlike in the UK or many Western countries, most rentals are found through local agents, Facebook groups, word of mouth, or by walking neighbourhoods. Furnished apartments are common, and leases are often more flexible — especially in cities like Da Nang, where landlords are used to expats.

For my parents, the goal wasn’t luxury — it was livability. A quiet area, good air flow, access to cafés, shops, and medical facilities, and a place that didn’t feel temporary. Watching them imagine daily life here was a reminder that moving abroad doesn’t have to be extreme or intimidating. Vietnam, and Da Nang in particular, makes long-term living surprisingly accessible.

One of the biggest misconceptions about housing in Vietnam is that “cheap” means poor quality. While prices are lower than in many Western countries, the standard of apartments — especially newer builds — can be excellent. Large balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, serviced buildings, security, lifts, and even rooftop pools are common in Da Nang apartment complexes.

For parents or retirees, Da Nang is especially appealing. The city is flat, easy to navigate, and less chaotic than larger Vietnamese cities. Private healthcare is affordable and efficient, supermarkets stock international goods, and English is widely spoken in expat-friendly areas. These factors make the idea of settling in Vietnam far less daunting than people expect.

House hunting also reveals how different neighbourhoods feel. Beachside areas like My Khe attract younger expats and digital nomads, while more residential districts offer quieter living and a stronger sense of community. This video captures that exploration — not just of properties, but of lifestyle.

Moving to Vietnam doesn’t have to be a permanent decision. Many people test the waters by staying six months to a year, especially parents visiting adult children abroad. That flexibility is one of Vietnam’s strengths. Rental contracts, visa options, and cost of living all support a “try it and see” approach.

For my parents, this search wasn’t about downsizing life — it was about expanding it. Seeing them open up to the idea of living abroad later in life challenges the assumption that moving countries is only for the young or adventurous. Vietnam has a way of softening those fears. Life feels slower, more social, and less rigid.

Da Nang also offers something rare: a city that works equally well for locals, expats, families, and retirees. It’s not a resort town pretending to be a city, and it’s not a megacity you need to survive. It’s simply liveable.

If you’re watching this because you’re curious about renting in Vietnam, buying property in Vietnam, or wondering whether your parents could realistically live here for a year — this video is meant to show that it’s possible, practical, and far less scary than it sounds.

House hunting becomes more than a practical task; it becomes a moment where moving abroad shifts from idea to reality. And for many people, Da Nang is the place where that shift finally makes sense.
