- Опубліковано 27 гру 2023
- I want to give everyone some information on the cost of living here in Da Nang. In this video I will specifically be giving you a tour of my studio apartment here and explaining how much I pay to live here.
If you want to separate video on how much food, transportation, entertainment, and other costs are for living then let me know in the comment section down below and I will drop a video on it.

Best, Tyler
We're over on An Thuong 29..there's a bunch of serviced apartments and hotels. We have a 2 bdrm/1 ba, Wi-fi, 2 large SMART TVs, 5 gal water delivery (20k), housecleaning 1x week, washer AND dryer, full kitchen, fully furnished and 2 blks to beach for $450 USD/Month.
That's a great deal. You are about a 5 minute walk from me. Is it a hotel? Or condo style airbnb?
@tylerowen8728 It's a serviced apartment and hotel. We arrived and stayed at a hotel for about 5 days to settle in and used the time to walk around and look at apartments to price compare and see the location. We wanted to be near markets, restaurants, atm, and taxi pickup area (so being near big hotels help with this).
Any idea how much a two bedroom would be? Next year I will be traveling with someone and we would prefer a bit more space. Thank you!
@jackbaldwin3649 Our 2 bedroom is $450 USD/Month....Most 2 bdrms should run $400 to $700. If you get into the newer construction buildings, they will price gouge you for $800 or more. The challenge is a lot of travellers compare the price to their home country and end up accepting a price higher than local market price which just drives up the rental prices. Once landlords can get people to pay $800 or more, they push that as the new rate. Studios should run $150 to $200+/ month, 1 bd = $200 to $350+, 2 bdrms $400 to $700+...etc.
@@RoamSweetRoam. Thank you! I'll try not to overpay.
Stop comparing prices to Florida. Compare prices to local market. You're getting ripped off.
Not sure they are getting 'ripped off', price seems reasonable for booking via airbnb. If they book their next booking direct with the owner/manager (as they will know have their contact details) they will likely be able to give them a better price as they will have reduced fees :) of course if also renting long term and via an agent on the ground or direct, the rent will be less (but usually will be excluding bills)
Men my apartment in Da Nang is more huge the location is amazing and it costs 193 usd per month. You pay pretty too much money! I also walk 15 minutes to the beach. You got overpriced
They overcharge foreigners too much
Yep, dude is a dill!
Airbnb is most expensive
@@zoranstojkovic8437 I did a Video on my channel. Check it out it was in DA NANG about a apartment. Well there is a hotel review also, but for a monthly rent I think you will like it
Interesting video Tyler! $500 does seem a bit high but I'm basing that on other UA-cams I've watched. I hope you'll share more info on housing costs if you learn more about this.
Thanks for watching Jack. Yes $500 is a bit on the high side without knowing where the good deals are here with quality in mind. As for an airbnb without even seeing the city before though this is still a steal compared to anywhere in America with a draw of quality of life. I will post more on the topic in the future when I get more knowledge!
@@tylerowenfit Thanks Tyler! Looking forward to watching more about your journey as you travel also.
I’m loving your apartment
It's a great spot I love it too.
Once you find a place, it would be wise to then check out the night life around the studio. I would hate to get a place to then find out at night it's all loud noise outside. Check the surroundings during the weekdays and the weekends. Just my opinion since loud noise at night would drive me crazy.
That is exactly what happend to me at this place. Unfortunately once you have booked it's almost always the case you will never be refunded if you want to cancel. So it's a gamble either way. But yes you are spot on I am the same way when it comes to my surroundings.
For all furnished place located into walk distance from a beach. I’d have to pay around 1000-15000 here in Colombia. 500 is awesome
I agree! Thanks for the input. Most people are saying it's a rip off but they don't understand what people in America and where you are in Columbia are paying.
Great vid. Couple of questions though, what was the internet speed? Fiber optic?
Hey Tyler. I am from Orlando too. Near the Millenia Mall... I am right now in Philippines but DaNang is in my list. I visited there last year. Went to Hoi Ann, to the bridge up there in the sky, saw the Dragon spit fire.... I wish you the best of everything there. Keep in touch because I may be there this year.
Thats awesome I am glad you have had the chance to explore. Keep exploring! IF you have questions about Da Nang, Nha Trang, or Ho Chi Minh let me know.
Great to see your video. I am thinking about DA NANG as a retirement location or at least somewhere to spend alot of time, especially at the beach, assuming I can find a place where the water is clean.. I have researched rental prices in Pattaya and in five seconds of watching your video I guessed $500 as the rental. Just about the same as Pattaya. I have questions about medical insurance, insurance requirements generally, things one has to consider in Thailand. How is visa renewal.....I see now that you have another video and mayb some of my questions will be answered.
I will do a video on the logistics with visa, passport, health insurance, and all that good stuff here soon. Retirement here would be a great choice in my opinion but you need to travel and experience it and more cities here to know for sure. Same as Thailand. You have to invest time and some money into finding out where you want to settle down.
Thank you for sharing! How is the isolation? Do you hear your upstairs neighbors walking/slamming doors etc.?
Just like any other multi floor living area you do hear the vibrations of other people living around you. This specific place is not nearly as bad as some places I have lived though. I mainly here to heavy feet of people above me but that's about it.
@@tylerowenfitthank you for the quick response! 😊
Of course@@lorelaigermain7708
Đà Nẵng is a nice place to live. Did it myself for a couple of years not that long ago. Once you get in with the expat community you should be able to find a place to live that costs a bit less. Phường Mỹ An is a good place to live but IMO too many expats and by extension too much drama. I lived in Phường Phước Mỹ where there were fewer expats. Lots of Koreans meaning the area has some good Korean restaurants.
BTW how's the visa situation now? Are they back to issuing US citizens one year visas with 90 day stays? Also Thailand and Hong Kong are good places for a visa run but you can also do one in a day by making a run to Lao Bảo if you need to. For my visa runs I used to go to Thailand for a week, spending it at the Thai Plum Village International Practice Center, Pong Ta Long, Pak Chong District, for a week of meditation. $20 USD p/n all included. Quite nice.
Enjoy the adventure.
Brian thank a lot for all of this info I appreciate it! Yes the 90 visas are back and that is what I am currently staying here on.
As for the visa run I will definitely keep what you said in mind. My plan was to go to Chang Mai for a week, but I will research the plum village you have mentioned. That sounds like an interesting trip!
No one year visa. Only 3 months. 13 countries have 45 days visafree
That price is about right for an Airbnb, but if you were renting that place, it'd be about $200 a month. Based on your window view, it looks like you live on the airport/city side of river. If you move to the other side of the bridge (the ocean side / head of the dragon bridge side) the deals are better. I live in Son Tra, but a lot of expats live in An Thuong. I recommend visiting the latter
Thank you for your input. This spot was actually on the beach side of the bridge. Yes I would assume renting would be a lot cheaper on a 6 month or year lease.
Wait.. what? It cost $200 a month?? I’m paying $3000 in America. Maybe I should move to Vietnam lol.
My friend more people are waking up to the fact that You can pay $200-$500/month for the same exact living situation in a different country@@dabaydestrian437
Love it
:)
Airbnb is expensive. If you book for a month the fees are pretty high. I understand that you booked with them, but there is a way how you can catch the private number of the owner. I think it's better that the locals get the money and not the owners in the US. Another option is that you just take a look to the homestays. The prices on AirBnb and on booking are the foreign prices. You even can get it cheaper.
Thanks for your input on the subject. Seems to be the overall feedback that I have received from people living in the area.
you said in the video in the US you have to pay much more per rent, but think about how much is the salary in vietnam. 500 usd are 2 times of the income per month@@tylerowenfit
Yes I understand. So earning an income from the USA makes this a very cheap price to pay even though it is high for the local income level. Do you understand this?@@andrephilipp
And this is a mistake to think in American prices. I am from Austria and this country is not cheap in Europe. But I can't compare the apartment prices to Austria in Vietnam. The apartments something like you had costs normally 70-100 usd per month for vietnams sometimes lesser. Just stop to book with airbnb and you get a huge different price which one could be not 500 usd but you could pay 250-300 usd. I travel 5 years and mostly I found the number of the owner of the host on airbnb and I paid mostly 30-50% lesser than on the airbnb price. mostly 30% but 50% lesser also happened. Hopefully I could help you with this information. @@tylerowenfit
btw for 500 usd Per month you could get a nice apartment in Lisbon. Similar to that one which you booked @@tylerowenfit
Hi Tyler, just discovered your channel. I plan to scope out Da Nang for possible Retirement place! Plan to go there for a month.Do you know where I can rent a furnished apartment (2 bedrooms & kitchen) in a quiet area…not too expensive? Please HELP. If you use a Realtor to do that, can you recommend one??
Thank you for supporting my channel and reaching out. I personally don't know any realtors in the area. I would recommend you come out before hand and spend a week or two in the area and go to different parts within the city to see where you like it the best. Just like any other city there will be parts of the city that you don't like even if the rent situation is suitable, and vice versa. It's really something you need to execute in person in my opinion. Hope this helps! Good Luck!
If you ever considered Thailand before moving to Vietnam, can you elaborate the reasons why you choose Vietnam over Thailand ?
Yes I can definitely do a video on that!
Is it easier to do visa runs and are they more chill? How can i live there?@@tylerowenfit
You could get it for 300$ if you didn't use RB&B
What platform do you suggest?
@@tylerowenfit don't use American things there just do it old way stay any hotel 3 days in this 3day look for place you will find places for 200 or 300 just do it old way don't do it American way
Mmm I see. Thank you for that advice. I will definitely keep this in mind. I have heard a few people also recomend this method. Thank you so much. @@alwansky57
I'd like to see you do something on transportation and getting around. Is leasing a Motorbike or Vehicle a not too expensive option? How is it driving over there, etc.??
I will do a video on that. It's extremely cheap compared to the USA and extremely convenient out here.
@@tylerowenfitAwesome Bro, and I'll be on the lookout for it!
Ps. I subbed to your channel, and thanks for the Great Content!!
Thank you for your support George. It means a lot. More to come!@@georgeandy6923
@@tylerowenfit You are welcome My Friend!
Get the TOP FLOOR so you won’t hear people above you!
You are being scammed. I paid 250€ a month for 45 m² one bedroom apartment which looked WAY BETTER than yours mate.
Da Nang is so much cheaper, compared to... let's say Phuket, Thailand. And even in Phuket you pay less than 500$ a month for something similar.
In fact, I just checked airbnb hotels for fun. One is 193€ for 1 month, slightly smaller than your room and one is 353€ literally 1 minute walk from the beach. No clue how you found such low quality apartment at such a high price.
That is great! I could live there without question. What do you do for work though? Is there jobs for Americans over there. $500 for all utilities etc is incredible
Best option is making money online. I was in Vietnam to teach English. You cannot beat the pricing especially if you get paid in American, Australian, or European dollars.
Price is ok if electricity is included
Did we get a price? How much did you pay?
Holy Toledo man crazy expensive to me . I would think $240
500/month
There must be cheaper deals for similar quality accommodation there, that's really not a very good deal
Where are you from thinking this isn't a good deal?
Were you required to have health insurance??
They did not ever check to see if I had health insurance at customs, but it's not even anything you want to gamble with. safety wing was only 40-50$ a month. Rather pay and not have to worry than be in a hole if something happens.
👍💛
Can anyone suggest a 2bedrooms /1 bath with a full kitchen in a QUIET area for $350-$400. I don’t really care if we don’t have a view of the ocean. As long as it is quiet. Thank you
Ask in a local expat group like Danang Hoi An expats. There is plenty of help. But don't decide before you have seen, heard and smelled (mold) the place. Take the first 2-3 nights in a hotel.
@@skjoennemand….THANKS!! Good idea. BTW, what hotel did you stay at? I am looking for a hotel WITHOUT elevator (because of the elevator noise…especially at night). Thanks is advance!! 🎉👍🙏
@@CanTho2022 I stayed in the junior suite at Hotel Dubai on the corner of D. Ng. Thi si street and Trần Bạch Đằng street in the An Thuong area with a view to the sea. It has an elevator but I didn't here it. I could here people talking in the hallway though. You also can hear the ocean and the beach road Võ Nguyen Giap. So if you have a problem with noise you should look for a hotel in a more quiet area away from the sea and big streets.
@@skjoennemand ….agree 100%. I am 58 years old and can’t stand noise….especially at night. I guess I need to go further in..perhaps crossing the bridges into the inland peninsula….
@@CanTho2022 you don't need to go that far. An Thuong 7,8,9 or maybe 40 and those areas are pretty quiet.
So you got 24 hour convenience shop like a 7-Eleven underneath you? That’s a good thing that’s what I like close by when I’m in Southeast Asia but then he always got a wine and blogger. Oh the roosters too loud I’m I’m two steps too far from my Starbucks, how can I live?😅😅😅
USD500 is over priced based on your video in Da Nang. Perhaps you should look around what you really can get for this budget in the future. I’m not sure your location in Da Nang. Therefore, it’s hard to make a definitive opinion about it. Well. USD500 rent is not considered cheap particularly in Da Nang.
Yes that is what a lot of people are commenting on this video. Although 500$ is not considered cheap in Da Nang it is VERY CHEAP in America. Therefor this is very cheap for someone like myself who is paying 3-4 times that for the same set up in America. Thanks for your input and thank you for supporting my channel!
When I rent a AirBnB, basic items are expected. Really they complained you thought the soap was included? It's frustrating that hosts, particularly those in foreign countries, don't realize the expectations of guests. They are competing with hotels, this idea you are going to go out and get linens,....full bottles of soap...ext. There is a clear difference between the expectations of a AirBNB and renting a short term apartment....Furnished or not.
Agreed. At the end of the day these are first world problems. I don't take things like that into account when looking for acomidation. If there is a bed, kitchen, bathroom, wifi, and a good surrounding environment I will take care of what else might not be included such as hand soap you are mentioning.
@@tylerowenfit I found out complaints are handled differently, it’s best just to carry on. In the Philippines, hosts really don’t care about the review and almost take it personally even if the issues are valid and you were respectful. Trash, plumbing issues and bugs should be concerns you can bring up. Best to just pay, leave and find another host to try again. You are at a disadvantage as a foreigner.
It's lower but you're living in a third world country so comparing to the US is apples and oranges
You are drying a towel on an electrical TV?
yes
For a studio. $500 is more then the standard
You got ripped hard sorry
It's not being ripped my friend when you are gaining knkowledge about a place you have never been to. I would also be paying tripple this in the sates where I am from. There's no rip. Not even a tear my friend.
You got ripped
@@tylerowenfitit's not the USA. It's the cheapest big city in a low-cost living country. Places on AirBnb are overpriced in Vietnam. This place is worth max 300$
Again. It's perspective from an individuals reality. In the USA you are paying triple to stay in a place like this so close to the beach in a nice area. Here I am paying a third less. Thanks for your input. @@kriskravt3428
@@tylerowenfit the main point is that you could pay even less than you pay now
HOW ABOUT VISA ....
What about it
I believe that Studio is Over price Trust me...that's the reason I dont trust in BNB ....they always want to take advance of u....I sujest walk around the Town and talk with the owners of property definitely u will find cheapy deal for sure...
Hey Tyler, how old are you man?
30
Your place is a tip - don't you tidy it and keep it clean?
10 seconds in - Buddy, you gangster? Come on now. $500 a month and have to deal with rowdy neighbors/stomping feet? Not a chance. I do appreciate the videos though. Effort :)
I don't even understand this comment. Thanks for watching my content though.
@@tylerowenfit Yes you do. 10 seconds into your video. Watch it again. You're speaking in a gangsta type a way. Doesn't fit.
Why would anyone want to travel or live there? I left April 1971 when the "locals" we doing their best to off us.......... no way i would go back.
Times have changed. It’s 2024...
were you in the war? LOL
People are so brutal in your comments section. Sorry for you, man.
I hope you've grabbed yourself a bargain for your second place!
damn, what kind of accent is that? u grew up in oakland or somethin?
Never been one to bring negativity to someone because of their accent. Good luck with that energy in your life.
@@tylerowenfit nah nah, i appreciate ur blog, im watching ur videos, yea i got you all good brudda but seriously, u went to an all black high school or something? im just curious what town u from
@@chronicillz1879 lol I appreciate you watching my content bro. But I was just at a high school in Colorado that was heavy in the rap scene at the time. Mainly lil Wayne at that time 2010. I started to make beats and perform rapping as well after high school. That’s where that comes from
@@tylerowenfit yeeee I feel you, I still listen to the da drought 3 from time to time lol, all the best of luck to you
@@tylerowenfit thing is you’re the first person on UA-cam I seen that talks like me, when you said “that’s clutch” I’m like wtf, so i got the idea of what it would sound like if I started a UA-cam channel lol all the best of luck to you man
Beautiful apartment but u don’t deserve it.😊
Not sure what that means. Thanks for watching.
@@tylerowenfit bad joke. 😣
500 usd has to be compared not to Florida but to the location where you are....it makes sense doesnt it?
I think you do not understand what is like living abroad hahaha
Compare the English of your neighbor in Florida to the one in Da Nang hahah or the pizza with the noodles 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉
The Philippines inflation is really bad. Hi rise condos that were 10k pesos are now 40 to 50k. Leaving here after 8 years. Great people! The Phil have NOTHING worth staying for. NOTHING!😢😂😂
Thanks for giving me your thoughts on the situation in the Philippines.
That's expensive i live in thailland in Hua hin 150 Dollars and i live in a studio better than yours !
Been with Airbnb for 15 years. It is not a good platform NOW!!
Reasons being?
I've stayed in 175 rentals in my 16 years with Airbnb no more!!!
