How do I find a place to live in Ho Chi Minh City?

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

"Having spent the past 6 years doing a long commute to work I decided to live close to my job if it was feasible - and it was. I live in District 7 of HCMC on the 14th floor of a group of 25 storey apartment blocks. In the centre of the 4 blocks is a sort of village square with several swimming pools, a gym, small shops/cafes/ hairdressers, a large good supermarket and two tennis courts. More shopping centres are within 5 minute's taxi ride, and I can get into District 1 shopping in 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. I used a local real estate office to find my apartment, someone recommended by a work colleague," remarked another expat who made the move to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

"Finding a place to live in Ho Chi Minh City can be a daunting task. However, there are a few options available to those looking for a place to call home. One option is to look for a rental property through a real estate agent. This can be a great way to find a place that fits your budget and needs. Additionally, there are many online resources available to help you find a place to live in Ho Chi Minh City. Websites such as Expat.com, Vietnam Real Estate, and Vietnam Housing offer listings of apartments, houses, and other rental properties. Finally, you can also look for a place to live through word of mouth. Ask friends, family, and colleagues if they know of any available rental properties in the area," explained one expat living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
