Hi David, Wife and I were in Da Nang a few weeks ago and we absolutely loved it! We stayed near My Khe Beach, we walked the promenade and beaches and honestly, we thought we were in Ft Lauderdale-Miami Beach! lol. The foods were so good and affordable. We loved the Ban Xeo place (Ban Xeo Duong?) in particular. And yes, thanks to you and Kim we ate at the seafood place you guys ate at and it was delicious! Hope to visit there again in the future! Thanks for all the videos!
I agree with you that Da Nang is going to be a big tourist destination in the future. It has everything that a nice tourist destination has-beautiful beaches, rivers, beautiful hotels, nice weather, etc.Ive been there twice, once in 2015 and later in 2023. I saw alot of changes in just 8 year period and the city has a lot of potential to grow even bigger and better to become the next tourist destination. As for location, I like the My khe areas even though the houses are not as nice as this area. I prefer the beach scenery over the river scenery.
Yeah I think most people prefer the beach side. It’s the quintessential vacation vibe. There’s a lot more nice houses being built in My An you would be surprised. They’re just a little hidden and scattered so harder to find. We would probably be in My An if we didn’t have to commute into the city often
Make sure you and Kim are OK with a rooster crowing all day because they don't know the time. My dad used to lived next to a rooster and that rooster crowed all day long. You probably already know, you can always haggle with private owners.
@TravelWithNala it's actually really tricky 🤪 my friends looked at so many apartments, all with various degree if mold issue. Then they found one that was brand new. Last week, the rain infiltrated in the building, and the gym on the 5th floor is completely ruined. It's such a major issue. it looks like they don't know how to build proper roofing in Vietnam.
@@TravelWithNala high humidity that why mould can develop easily. Make sure the apartment have good ventilation all the time. Plus, check if the apartment is incorporated with floodproof OSD tanks, etc. I'm a building services engineer.
We just got back from Da Nang today!! SO MUCH GROWTH in Da Nang. We saw so many Koreans tourists and restaurant. I was shocked! The drivers told us that they are pouring money into Da Nang. It’s definitely growing and is the NEXT city. So who owns these villas? These reminds me of Thao Dien but even more expensive.
Yeah it's growing fast. I will say though the development seems to be growing faster than the rate of tourism. I do think a lot of changes are needed to help out tourism like making visa easier

Cant say that!! 1) YEARLY PROPERTIES TAXES KN VIETNAM IS CHEAP & AFFORDABLE!!

I saw alots CASTLE SOLD IN UK, FRANCE for like 100.000USD but it selling for 5y & one no will buy it!! Because OWNERS BUY THEM BUT DONT LIVE AT THE HOUSE, THEY HAVE TO PAY HIGH YEARLY PROPERTIES TAXES!! In alots WESTERN COUNTRY, SECOND HOME YEARLY TAXES IS HIGH & EXPENSIVE, but second home house with no one use (owner not stay to living there usually, just visit 2 times/year during season, & cant rental for no one, so the house mean no people living) IT WILL ADD ANOTHER TAXES, it’s double taxes!! That’s why alots MIDDLE CLASS & EVEN RICH PEOPLE IN US & WESTERN is not want to buy second house or old castle, because yearly properties taxes for second house can reach to 30% of the cost they buy the house. IT RIDICULOUS WASTE!! 2) Vietnam use to be POOR & mostly city street schemes used to be small. Now, thoundsand & millions live there, it not easy to ask & pay for millions family to moves so GORVEMENT CAN BREAK ALL THESE HOUSE & BUILD THE STREET BIGGER!! It’s important & will cost trillions USD dollars just to do this!! So nowadays people & gorvement still use & accept old & small streets. Its doesn’t mean it poor, it because its old CBD & central areas 3) There are alots apartments & villas build outside of city , bigger & new & devolvep, but it’s still COUNTRYSIDE!! These people is have company or offices or they’re working in CITY!! Everyday to ride cars or motorcycle into city, it’s stressful & wasteful times & tired if you do that EVERYDAY!! 4) these place might small for US & WESTERN because THE HOUSE IS 80sqm2 or 120sqm to 150m2 with 3 ground floors. BUT AS I SAY, it’s stay in inside city & from this you can go to everywhere, you have EVERYTHING YOU NEED JUST IN SECOND OR FEWS MINUTES!! 5) The house stay in good area, which have all middle class or rich people, less crimes, security in night is good. 6) HOUSE IN VIETNAM IS NOT JUST HOUSE!! They can be house & offices, or house & hotels, or shophouse at the ground floor or rental. That’s why no matter US & WESTERN think why rich people buy & stay in 100sqm build 3 floor house in small busy street but it’s extremely EXPENSIVE!! They dont & hard can understand but for Vietnam it just that way & easy can understand You think these people only have 1 house there. They do have beach house & moutain villas house or luxury apartments!! But alots of them chose to stay & live there!! These others place just use for holidays or rental out for airbnb. If they don’t live at these house, they can rental for restaurants or company or banks official, it can be 3000 - 6000$/month (depend on street local & how big the house & how much floors) there are even more higher if the house is stay in central location of district & the house is bigger & high floor build. It’s can rental to 8000 - 20.000$/month!! If these rich people buy LUXURY MANSION OR PENHOUSE, no where the rental can be good like this!!

The rooster and loud music is a total deal killer for me if I’m moving into one of the most expensive neighborhoods. It’s like you’re still living in the village.
I just found that karaoke is not allowed in the neighborhood. The music was actually not too loud I can hear it from the street because their window was open but I couldn’t really hear it from inside the house. The rooster and I might have a problem with each other
@@donjohnson5123hmm, I live near VV Mall and it’s dead quiet here. Other than the occasional karaoke from the far away neighbor and that’s all. Paying $390 a month for a whole house and the beach 2 min walk away I’m not leaving DN anytime soon 🏝️👌
@26:00. If you kept walking, There is one house by the water thats done a mini homestead farm, and the house itself is a container house. Really unique property. I ride through here for some peace once a week.. really unique property. You pointed the greenhouse out a bit later in the clip, but that greenhouse belongs to the container home. It's fenced off with that home, and the guy living there waters the plants at night
real estate prices in Vietnam are absolutely insane relative to what you can charge for rent. My suspicion is that due to rampant inflation lasting for decades people would rather overpay for real estate than watch their savings disappear from currency debasement. I remember in Ho Chi Minh city seeing $500k homes and tenants paying $300 a month in rent! Absolute madness.
I would never invest in real estate in Vietnam because of the uncertainty and the ever changing laws. Plus prices have ballooned over the years and it's bound to eventually drop due to government policies, geopolitical, and other factors.
Yeah if you just want to enjoy the life here and not worry about investment then that's great. But always in marketing materials for new condos it's always about "your investment will go up!"
It breaks my heart to see the changes in DaNang and Vietnam in general, with the wealth gap widening. Development is good, but overdevelopment for the rich is not.
There will always be a wealth gap in any society. Cant really expect the people who have worked smarter, harder, saved or are simply just luckier to be at the same wealth with the people who didnt do as much
The wealth gap is wide but I do think people here are better off overall. Ton of families and neighborhoods have been pulled out of poverty through increased opportunity. There are good programs to make sure that people don't get left behind and more and more people can ride the economic wave. Things like quotas on foreigners buying condos, foreigners not being able to buy land, etc.
OMG My friend's house is right at the corner of the port and the reason is because they have a boat, a canoe and a jetski and yes, you can ride them along the river (not allow to pass Han Bridge though) And as I heard, their "house" value 10 mil USD.
My guess is they were planted pretty recently and they need time to get their roots in solid. My other guess is the dirt doesn’t go in too deep so they need those supports for storms. I’ve seen supports on trees in other area but they’re usually metal.
Great video, very informative. My family and I have some property in Da Nang near where you started the video and I agree the numbers have ballooned in recent years but its all artificial. Once you get used to crossing the real busy roads, you'll be doing it while moon walking 🚶♂️ haha
Wow congrats to you and your family. This area probably had the highest appreciation in Da Nang. I’m very comfortable crossing the street alone but I still get nervous and hyper alert when I’m crossing with Nala. I’m afraid people won’t see her and clip her nose or tail
It’s seem like great cities but we have some work and family in Da Nang so i we would visit those cities but we’ll probably stay in Da Nang as a home base
Omg I swear I walked right by there today wandering around aimlessly. It instantly made me acutely aware I will not be able to afford living in Da Nang 5 years from now. This place is exploding….
Definitely growing but I think there will be lots of ups and downs. I don’t think it’s going to be a straight line up. Also there’s still lots of land for development so I think before prices get too high, development will expand outwards
Many people think Da Nang has potential, which is why many investors are willing to pour money into real estate such as luxury houses, luxury hotels, Bana Hill, etc.
Even if Euro Villa is populated by foreigners, they would just be renting. The mansions and villas would be owned by locals. Very few people would plonk down millions of dollars to "own" a property for a limited period.
Yeah. Who knows if they're even selling for those prices. People can ask whatever price they want but doesn't mean anything if they don't actually sell. I think most of the people got the land long time ago for very cheap.
I'm thinking about traveling to this area with my dog, but I'm concern about safety for the dog when walking it around. Have you guys experience any safety concerns for Nala so far in this area?
You definitely have to be more vigilant. Keep them on the leash and make sure they don’t stick their nose in any bushes or overgrown areas. Other than that there are lots of dog lovers here and a lot great parks and dog friendly cafes
Keep in mind also that many of these mansions are home to multi-generational families (grandparents and son/daughters-in-law living together till they start their own families).
I hope you both have a home in Da Nang. I want to buy a house there to live after retirement but I need to try and try more to earn money. I love to live in Da Nang City, it has everything I need: mountains, beaches, delicious foods, good traffic... and cheap things. 😋
youre getting close to 10k subs hope you can fix the issue i saw you in the samy's channel i was missing your videos and nala.... give her a treat on my name, Regards from Chile
I'm always surprised when I see these videos about upper-end housing in SE Asia. I live in a wealthy area in southern California and these properties definitely do not strike me as either cheap or a good value.
Yeah you’re right. When you get to the high end of pretty much any country, the prices start to normalize. It’s people with international money buying these places so the country almost doesn’t matter.
This one doesn’t have an enclosed garage. Most of the neighbors with the same house built a carport in the yard where they can park their car away from the rain
As a Vietnamese who lives among these people I can say this… it’s sad that some of these people who live in this up scale neighborhood still litter indiscriminately because of the culture (thiếu ý thức). Sad.

Hey guys, this is great! Might look at moving over there in about 6 months too. Just landed here and picked up a 2BR apartment. Any chance you could let me know your house keeper / cleaner? Also, did you hire a separate guy to do your A/C? I'm thinking that's probably a wise move before we move in this Thursday. Would be awesome to get the contacts coming from your recommendations!
Thanks! We use an app called btaskee. Just grab anyone that has the special tier classification. I think it's called "elite" or something. We call general cleaners and ac cleaners both on btaskee
Hey David, just checking back in... don't know what happened to your response, but I took you up on the instructions and it seemed to work a treat! Plenty of options to choose from. Thank you for the heads up!
A little exaggerated. You can get a banh mi que for 0.20 which is the skinny banh mi. It's more a breadstick than a sandwich. You can find a banh mi with no meat, like veggies and egg, for 0.$60. A banh mi with pork or beef will start around $1.00. If you're a westerner you'll probably ask for extra meet which bumps the price up. Definitely still very affordable but the "world's cheapest country" narrative that youtubers push is clickbait and not even true.
Oh believe me, this is only for money laundry, Vietnam is still less than many other countries but the housing prices are crary. This is very sad and frustrating for ordinary households. I live in EU ( I have houses in both Belgium and Nederland) I always hesitate talking about housing prices in Vietnam because people would think I’m lying about it, nobody would believe it.
I wonder how the insect/lizard situation changes when you have a high rise condo vs a house at ground level. I'd hope it's the same as this spot is very urban although I have doubts. Imagine fighting ant invasions while trying to work on your computer, waking up with cockroaches hissing cause they walked on you attracted to the heat of your bed and then when you go to shower there's of course a lizard in the shower and his friends have been pooping all over the walls all over the place. Then you open a window for some fresh air and wasps come in. So you were trying to work but instead must fight these creatures sleep deprived.
@@TravelWithNala I've never even been to Vietnam but this is literally what happened to me in the suburbs of Mauritius at ground level. The ant invasion was so bad it was a full time job to kill them as they came, and they just kept coming to no end. Also shooting up the place with pesticides is even worse cause it can make you dizzy aka poison you. I doubt you'd have these issues in Da Nang.
@@spokeman yes and there still can be some even in Burj Khalifa's upper levels. These creatures be singing "cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough, there's no valley low enough, there ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from..."
There honestly so many amazing houses in that area but yeah it’s like halfway between da nang and hỏi ăn. For the right person though, a 20 min drive to both cities is not too bad of a tradeoff
Wow, that view is perfect. I've moved from london to the My An area.. i love it, but I am after a slightly more authentic experience - less expats etc.. so I'm thinking of moving south of the river where you are.. there seems to be some of the best gyms and restaurants there and assuming prices are slightly cheaper? Keen to hear your thoughts on this David & Kim. Love the channel
To clarify….average income for the regular people are about $250 usd a month. So if you are talking about renting a place for $1400 a month that is a lot of money.
its hard to get accurate data since the reporting is sparse but yeah you're in the ballpark. The average is low because most of the work in Vietnam is still unskilled labor. But for some more context, young engineers in their 20s are making $1k -$1500 a month. There's a really big range.
That’s the reason why local people in Da Nang HATE northern Vietnamese people, especially from Hanoi. People from Hanoi are actually boycotted by Da Nang Citizens, they abuse power and spend their dirty money everywhere😢
I don't know about you, but the first thing I noticed was the lazy and repetitive layout of the wood flooring. It had to have been installed by an amateur.
I'm not a pro at these things you know better than me, but I think you're right. I did notice a lot of uneven gaps in the flooring. In one section, the gap was so wide that they filled it with grout
@@TravelWithNala Nah, I mean look at this random flooring image from Google: media.tarkett-image.com/large/PI_SE_Viva_Walnut_8581006.jpg Notice how the planks are laid in a random pattern so it doesn't stand out. The flooring in that house has the start of every plank laid exactly at the middle of the plank next to it. Our eyes are immediately drawn to patterns, so the ends of planks being all lined up stands out.
@ real estate prices here are insane. I saw a graphic yesterday that California median home price is 8.4x annual income and Vietnam home prices are 40.9x annual income.
@@michaelmontes9820 yeah the rental ratios here are way off. There's other factors too like no property tax and high inflation. Real estate is the go to place for the rich to park their net worth.
Vietnam is in the south east Asia region and hot humid weather as well. Not much things to do and not much business activities going on over there except some cool vacation hot spots, beaches just like Thailand. I wouldn't buy any property or land over there
Partly it’s to mitigate risk. Foreigners can just leave the country and stop paying rent and there’s nothing they can do about it. Also this common these days because the interest rates on cash is extremely high. I heard it’s as high as 10-12%
@@TravelWithNala Where is it 10%? its nowhere near 10% at Vietcombank - the country's largest bank. Elsewhere in your vido you say the rental yields are really low
@ might not be the fed interest rate might have been another instrument yield I don’t bank here. But i doubt a commercial bank has competitive rates. I just heard ppl tell me interest on cash is high. Yeah rental yields are low if a $1m house is renting for like $1200
The roosters are free alarm clocks that usually start at 04:30 in the morning 🔪 Even if I had "FU money" I wouldn't buy a half a million $$$ in Vietnam considering the political landscape and ownership policy's 🤦
Yeah buying definitely has its risks. I don’t think I would ever buy land in Vietnam. The government can theoretically come in a just yoink your land at any time.
@@Lee-vb4vhthe government own all the land in Việt Nam. If you buy a land in Việt Nam you will have a book call "the right to use the land". But the permission are permanent. You can passed to the heirs with almost no tax. And the tax on land here are dirt cheap.
@@ZzMaiYeuzZ ok great thank you for land info. That rule can be attractive to businesses and private investors as they wish to add improvements & value. However, unless laws are changed to protect investors, i am unsure if infrastructure progress can keep up with other global investments. Continued blessings 🙏✨🕊️
Where do you live? It’s definitely overpriced here but the rental prices are disproportionately low considering the prices of the houses. It’s just a very hyped neighborhood, imo it’s a bubble
It does go up pretty high during typhoons but I don’t think enough to flood the neighborhood. The son trả side is higher up in elevation. A lot of places on the city side do flood during heavy rains
“Freedom US dollar”? first time I’ve ever heard someone uses this term. Anyway, as a foreigner you will not be able to own a house on a land; however, you can own as many condos as you want if you have beacoup “freedom” money.
I’m Vietnamese American, those house you said 5 to 8 millions , if I have money , I would by the house where it have great weather , these house live right on dirty ocean , pollution, the about the wash gutters, good luck when you buy those they called mansion 😂😂
We're happy if we end up staying but we want to try something new. We also want it easier to take our big Husky out for walks (plus a yard is a bonus). The elevators in a big building can often be slow and packed and sometimes ppl make a big deal about a big dog. I also like to go in and out of the house often to go around town and that's much easier in a house. For example it can take 5 min just to get out of the building here while in that same time I can drive to most places in Da Nang.
No two homes look alike. That shows creativity. The wide roads are icing on the cake. Well done.
There are a couple sections where its like 8 of the same house copy-pasted but the other areas have very personalized homes for sure
@@TravelWithNala Indeed, yes.
@@TravelWithNala In This area they sell land and the owner do their own custom build their own house the way they want it (of course the style of the home must be approved by the city). If you see a group of several similar houses then it must be owned by the same investor.

That's pretty awesome. I'll keep an eye out for it next time I walk through. It really is a peaceful walk/ride.
real estate prices in Vietnam are absolutely insane relative to what you can charge for rent. My suspicion is that due to rampant inflation lasting for decades people would rather overpay for real estate than watch their savings disappear from currency debasement. I remember in Ho Chi Minh city seeing $500k homes and tenants paying $300 a month in rent! Absolute madness.
Oh, that’s a good point and likely a big contributor. I do think the bulk of it is due to speculation.
Omg 😂 🐔 that rooster stole the show - that was just great haha. I'm pretty sure he was protesting Kim not being with you!
The rooster was a paid actor
The rooster: "Let me show the world who is the true gangster in this rich neighborhood "
I live in Mon. A building, I hear that rooster every single time, and even at night time🤣. he is a bit messed up with time
Omfg if you can hear it all the way from there then I’ll die being right across the street from it 😭
"he is a bit messed up with time" LOL!
I would never invest in real estate in Vietnam because of the uncertainty and the ever changing laws. Plus prices have ballooned over the years and it's bound to eventually drop due to government policies, geopolitical, and other factors.
Yeah big bubble imo. Lots of investors here seem like degen gamblers more than long term investors
Unless you have so much money and don't care about investment but to have a piece of land/nice property in every country including Vietnam 😮
Yeah if you just want to enjoy the life here and not worry about investment then that's great. But always in marketing materials for new condos it's always about "your investment will go up!"
I understand that you can own the house but not the land it is built on. You Only have the right to use it.
Woohoo!! Congratulations on your sponsor!
Thanks!!! The sellout journey begins today!
Since the homes are so close to the water, do the home experience flooding??
I don’t think it flood on the son trả side because the elevation is higher but I’m not sure
Good idea 🎉 what kind of creator program or show would work?
It breaks my heart to see the changes in DaNang and Vietnam in general, with the wealth gap widening. Development is good, but overdevelopment for the rich is not.
There will always be a wealth gap in any society. Cant really expect the people who have worked smarter, harder, saved or are simply just luckier to be at the same wealth with the people who didnt do as much
The wealth gap is wide but I do think people here are better off overall. Ton of families and neighborhoods have been pulled out of poverty through increased opportunity. There are good programs to make sure that people don't get left behind and more and more people can ride the economic wave. Things like quotas on foreigners buying condos, foreigners not being able to buy land, etc.
@@Trgn And last but not least, favored by the communist regime. WOW.
OMG My friend's house is right at the corner of the port and the reason is because they have a boat, a canoe and a jetski and yes, you can ride them along the river (not allow to pass Han Bridge though)
And as I heard, their "house" value 10 mil USD.
Wow that’s so awesome. But if I can’t take a jetski past the Han bridge then that means I can’t take it out to the ocean 😭
That River looks like Newton’s Creek in Brooklyn!😅😂
Nice tour !
Thanks! 🙏🏼
Why do all the trees have those supports ? I'm curious
My guess is they were planted pretty recently and they need time to get their roots in solid. My other guess is the dirt doesn’t go in too deep so they need those supports for storms. I’ve seen supports on trees in other area but they’re usually metal.
Great video, very informative. My family and I have some property in Da Nang near where you started the video and I agree the numbers have ballooned in recent years but its all artificial. Once you get used to crossing the real busy roads, you'll be doing it while moon walking 🚶♂️ haha
Wow congrats to you and your family. This area probably had the highest appreciation in Da Nang. I’m very comfortable crossing the street alone but I still get nervous and hyper alert when I’m crossing with Nala. I’m afraid people won’t see her and clip her nose or tail
Would you move to Hanoi as expats ? What about nha trang city
It’s seem like great cities but we have some work and family in Da Nang so i we would visit those cities but we’ll probably stay in Da Nang as a home base
Hanoi is not as livable as Da Nang for sure. More polluted and it has an overcast winter.
Why didn’t you check out the singapore landed houses .prices are way more and there are many landed enclaves .
Singapore was a visit. We live in Da Nang and we're looking for a new place to move into.
Congrats on your first sponsor!🎉 get those coinsss David! More magnet money for Kim 😂
The money has already been spent on magnets 👍🏼
Omg I swear I walked right by there today wandering around aimlessly. It instantly made me acutely aware I will not be able to afford living in Da Nang 5 years from now. This place is exploding….
Definitely growing but I think there will be lots of ups and downs. I don’t think it’s going to be a straight line up. Also there’s still lots of land for development so I think before prices get too high, development will expand outwards
David u can visit Euro Village 2 and u can see awesome luxury mansions than Euro 1. Good job!
Saw some listings online. IMO you get better value for money in Euro 2. Probably because of the location
@@TravelWithNala sure bro, style Euro Villa 2 younger and modern than Euro Villa 1
@@lanhhuynh5430 agree. Nice modern places in Nam Viet A too
Many people think Da Nang has potential, which is why many investors are willing to pour money into real estate such as luxury houses, luxury hotels, Bana Hill, etc.
Even if Euro Villa is populated by foreigners, they would just be renting. The mansions and villas would be owned by locals. Very few people would plonk down millions of dollars to "own" a property for a limited period.
Yeah. Who knows if they're even selling for those prices. People can ask whatever price they want but doesn't mean anything if they don't actually sell. I think most of the people got the land long time ago for very cheap.
I'm thinking about traveling to this area with my dog, but I'm concern about safety for the dog when walking it around. Have you guys experience any safety concerns for Nala so far in this area?
You definitely have to be more vigilant. Keep them on the leash and make sure they don’t stick their nose in any bushes or overgrown areas. Other than that there are lots of dog lovers here and a lot great parks and dog friendly cafes
Try euro villa 2. It's actually a lot nicer area 😊
It’s nice but a little far for us from where we need to be
Is there enough yard space for Nala?
Yeah she likes to lounge outside more than run outside. But the big thing is the huge grassy park right by there
Keep in mind also that many of these mansions are home to multi-generational families (grandparents and son/daughters-in-law living together till they start their own families).
Not for the ultra rich. They have multiple homes.
On the island where the Mercure is, Green zone, much more expensive.
I hope you both have a home in Da Nang. I want to buy a house there to live after retirement but I need to try and try more to earn money. I love to live in Da Nang City, it has everything I need: mountains, beaches, delicious foods, good traffic... and cheap things. 😋
You can do it! Tbh I think for retirement, renting makes more sense here. Rent prices are much more reasonable compared to buying.
Take it up another level David, tour Sunneva Island neighborhood on your next video.
Keep the recs coming. My first time hearing of this place I need to check it out.
youre getting close to 10k subs hope you can fix the issue i saw you in the samy's channel i was missing your videos and nala.... give her a treat on my name, Regards from Chile
We also filmed one whole video today 🙏
Nala says thank you 🐶. But the diet starts tomorrow for both her and me.
I'm always surprised when I see these videos about upper-end housing in SE Asia. I live in a wealthy area in southern California and these properties definitely do not strike me as either cheap or a good value.
Yeah you’re right. When you get to the high end of pretty much any country, the prices start to normalize. It’s people with international money buying these places so the country almost doesn’t matter.
We need a creator house in this 8m one =))
I’m down. You buy it and I’ll join you 👍🏼
@ I played golf today, no problem 😇
Very nice . We will have to catch up for a coffee
Please say hi if you ever see me out and about
What visa are you on for the long-term stay? Best I can get is 90 days I believe
I’m on a 90 visa. Kim has a family visa
@@TravelWithNalahow does the family visa work?
@@UncleHoCM I think it's a 5 year visa and you have to leave the country every 6 months.
Nice video! I saw one unit in Euro Village last month. It was pretty decent for the rental price but not buying price
The buying prices are rediculous imo driven by speculation. Sale prices are disproportionally high compared to the rental cash flow.
Could you link the first house?
Beautiful home. But no garages for car parking.
This one doesn’t have an enclosed garage. Most of the neighbors with the same house built a carport in the yard where they can park their car away from the rain
As a Vietnamese who lives among these people I can say this… it’s sad that some of these people who live in this up scale neighborhood still litter indiscriminately because of the culture (thiếu ý thức). Sad.
Unfortunately it is a daily thing watching people yeet trash into an empty lot or the side of the street.

It right beside river.
I hope not
Hey guys, this is great! Might look at moving over there in about 6 months too. Just landed here and picked up a 2BR apartment. Any chance you could let me know your house keeper / cleaner? Also, did you hire a separate guy to do your A/C? I'm thinking that's probably a wise move before we move in this Thursday. Would be awesome to get the contacts coming from your recommendations!
Thanks! We use an app called btaskee. Just grab anyone that has the special tier classification. I think it's called "elite" or something. We call general cleaners and ac cleaners both on btaskee
Hey David, just checking back in... don't know what happened to your response, but I took you up on the instructions and it seemed to work a treat! Plenty of options to choose from. Thank you for the heads up!
@@jasondalley885 awesome! Glad it worked out
Do they have $.20 Banh Mi as other influencer claim? I'm also from L.A. just like you.
A little exaggerated. You can get a banh mi que for 0.20 which is the skinny banh mi. It's more a breadstick than a sandwich. You can find a banh mi with no meat, like veggies and egg, for 0.$60. A banh mi with pork or beef will start around $1.00. If you're a westerner you'll probably ask for extra meet which bumps the price up. Definitely still very affordable but the "world's cheapest country" narrative that youtubers push is clickbait and not even true.
House is so big its an 'Institution' haaaaa love it 😂
SERIOUSLY! I bet if you live there you discover new rooms you’ve never been in before on a daily basis
I visited Vietnam for their Culinary, not for living. It’s very humid and wet.
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Oh believe me, this is only for money laundry, Vietnam is still less than many other countries but the housing prices are crary. This is very sad and frustrating for ordinary households. I live in EU ( I have houses in both Belgium and Nederland) I always hesitate talking about housing prices in Vietnam because people would think I’m lying about it, nobody would believe it.
It’s pretty insane. Vietnam has one of the highest housing price to income ratio in the world
45 mil? what are they smoking?
I dunno but I wish they would share
Dude that rooster was comedy
Dude that rooster was tragedy
I wonder how the insect/lizard situation changes when you have a high rise condo vs a house at ground level. I'd hope it's the same as this spot is very urban although I have doubts. Imagine fighting ant invasions while trying to work on your computer, waking up with cockroaches hissing cause they walked on you attracted to the heat of your bed and then when you go to shower there's of course a lizard in the shower and his friends have been pooping all over the walls all over the place. Then you open a window for some fresh air and wasps come in. So you were trying to work but instead must fight these creatures sleep deprived.
………………………………………………….. thank you Kim is now traumatized
@@TravelWithNala I've never even been to Vietnam but this is literally what happened to me in the suburbs of Mauritius at ground level. The ant invasion was so bad it was a full time job to kill them as they came, and they just kept coming to no end. Also shooting up the place with pesticides is even worse cause it can make you dizzy aka poison you. I doubt you'd have these issues in Da Nang.
I lived in central Saigon, it was no where this bad in term of insects/lizards LOL.
For sure there are less the higher you go.
@@spokeman yes and there still can be some even in Burj Khalifa's upper levels. These creatures be singing "cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough, there's no valley low enough, there ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from..."
I loved that house. I doubt you will even hear that rooster after a while. I’d rather hear that than traffic.
Very true. The walls are pretty solid but I’m sure I’ll still hear the banh bao guy 😂
The regal victoria houses are nicer but it's not central like euro village
There honestly so many amazing houses in that area but yeah it’s like halfway between da nang and hỏi ăn. For the right person though, a 20 min drive to both cities is not too bad of a tradeoff
Wow, that view is perfect. I've moved from london to the My An area.. i love it, but I am after a slightly more authentic experience - less expats etc.. so I'm thinking of moving south of the river where you are.. there seems to be some of the best gyms and restaurants there and assuming prices are slightly cheaper? Keen to hear your thoughts on this David & Kim. Love the channel
Yeah my an is definitely the expat/digital nomad hub. You’ll still find expats outside of that area but more locals the further west you go.
why is the river milky?
Gets pretty murky sometimes after it rains. It rained the 3 days before
Yeah i hear you. Cant fuq around with mold 😭😭😭😭😭 train Nala to sniff out mold. Hahhaa im training my dog
I’ll just walk around there house sniffing and when I die, I’ll know I’ve found mold 💀
To clarify….average income for the regular people are about $250 usd a month. So if you are talking about renting a place for $1400 a month that is a lot of money.
its hard to get accurate data since the reporting is sparse but yeah you're in the ballpark. The average is low because most of the work in Vietnam is still unskilled labor. But for some more context, young engineers in their 20s are making $1k -$1500 a month. There's a really big range.
Roosters also crow at night 🥺
This rooster needs to get paid overtime
omg I thought these prices only existed in Hanoi and HCMC lol damnn
Haha it’s all the Hanoi and HCMC people buying properties here too
The bedrooms are quite nice and clean but the living room looks outdated.
All in all, it’s a nice place tho
It’s definitely not for everyone. This aesthetic I might enjoy more in the Hollywood hills in LA. Not sure if I enjoy it as much in Da Nang
Be careful and beware plenty of scammers and especially in Vietnam. I have been in Vietnam multiple times and I know.
From Hanoi, means they have family linked to the party.
Possibly. Hanoi is a big city but makes sense that a lot of people with money might have had some extra help
That’s the reason why local people in Da Nang HATE northern Vietnamese people, especially from Hanoi.
People from Hanoi are actually boycotted by Da Nang Citizens, they abuse power and spend their dirty money everywhere😢
I don't know about you, but the first thing I noticed was the lazy and repetitive layout of the wood flooring. It had to have been installed by an amateur.
I'm not a pro at these things you know better than me, but I think you're right. I did notice a lot of uneven gaps in the flooring. In one section, the gap was so wide that they filled it with grout
@@TravelWithNala Nah, I mean look at this random flooring image from Google: media.tarkett-image.com/large/PI_SE_Viva_Walnut_8581006.jpg Notice how the planks are laid in a random pattern so it doesn't stand out. The flooring in that house has the start of every plank laid exactly at the middle of the plank next to it. Our eyes are immediately drawn to patterns, so the ends of planks being all lined up stands out.
You can see this (and the uneven gap issue) clearly at for example 12:43
45,000,000 dong per month, how much is the property 220k usd?
Ballpark $1m
@ wow must be prime location
@ real estate prices here are insane. I saw a graphic yesterday that California median home price is 8.4x annual income and Vietnam home prices are 40.9x annual income.
Insane, but yeah 1800 a month is pretty cheap for a 1m+ property.
@@michaelmontes9820 yeah the rental ratios here are way off. There's other factors too like no property tax and high inflation. Real estate is the go to place for the rich to park their net worth.
That rooster would be enough to put me off 100% lolol
It’s wild how normal that is here 😭
Vietnam is in the south east Asia region and hot humid weather as well. Not much things to do and not much business activities going on over there except some cool vacation hot spots, beaches just like Thailand. I wouldn't buy any property or land over there
I mean Vietnam has one of the fastest growing economies in the world so I wouldn’t say there not much business here 😂
get the jetski I get one too!
Why commute on a scooter when you can commute on a jetski
@ exactly gotta level up
Can you list the addresses that you toured?
Can’t publicly share the address of our potential home 😄
6 months upfront is insane. why do they do this?
Partly it’s to mitigate risk. Foreigners can just leave the country and stop paying rent and there’s nothing they can do about it. Also this common these days because the interest rates on cash is extremely high. I heard it’s as high as 10-12%
@@TravelWithNala Where is it 10%? its nowhere near 10% at Vietcombank - the country's largest bank. Elsewhere in your vido you say the rental yields are really low
@ might not be the fed interest rate might have been another instrument yield I don’t bank here. But i doubt a commercial bank has competitive rates. I just heard ppl tell me interest on cash is high. Yeah rental yields are low if a $1m house is renting for like $1200
Last thing I ever expected in that neighborhood was a rooster. 😭😭
Probably not even the only rooster in the neighborhood 😭😭
As Vietnamese, why do i feel so poor looking at these houses.
I think we all do haha
Reminds me of Florida.
The roosters are free alarm clocks that usually start at 04:30 in the morning 🔪
Even if I had "FU money" I wouldn't buy a half a million $$$ in Vietnam considering the political landscape and ownership policy's 🤦
Yeah buying definitely has its risks. I don’t think I would ever buy land in Vietnam. The government can theoretically come in a just yoink your land at any time.
Can real estate be passed on to heirs or government owns it ?
@@Lee-vb4vhthe government own all the land in Việt Nam. If you buy a land in Việt Nam you will have a book call "the right to use the land". But the permission are permanent. You can passed to the heirs with almost no tax. And the tax on land here are dirt cheap.
@@ZzMaiYeuzZ ok great thank you for land info. That rule can be attractive to businesses and private investors as they wish to add improvements & value.

the inflation is true like here in USA when you buy houses
I miss seeing your dog
You'll be seeing a lot more of Nala soon!
In the city where I live you can get these houses for USD 400K-700K
Where do you live? It’s definitely overpriced here but the rental prices are disproportionately low considering the prices of the houses. It’s just a very hyped neighborhood, imo it’s a bubble
Osome is Awesome. They can use this as thank you for sponsoring you:)
yeah huge shout out to them. It's always a risk to sponsor a small channel

thanks!
they seem so close together...wouldnt people want more privacy?
but your view looks awesome. i doubt a house will get you a nice view.
I wonder if that river ever overflows 😮
It does go up pretty high during typhoons but I don’t think enough to flood the neighborhood. The son trả side is higher up in elevation. A lot of places on the city side do flood during heavy rains
13:40 How much is this house? I’m not impressed 😂
“Freedom US dollar”? first time I’ve ever heard someone uses this term. Anyway, as a foreigner you will not be able to own a house on a land; however, you can own as many condos as you want if you have beacoup “freedom” money.
Unfortunately the condos here charge that foreigner tax
I will never buy a house so close to the river
It definitely beats the $12 a night air BnB I stayed in by the beach that came with resident Geckos and Cockroaches as room mates
Not a fan of cockroaches but the geckos are friendly haha
I’m Vietnamese American, those house you said 5 to 8 millions , if I have money , I would by the house where it have great weather , these house live right on dirty ocean , pollution, the about the wash gutters, good luck when you buy those they called mansion 😂😂
This neighborhood isn't the richest in Da Nang. The richest is Đảo Xanh (Green island).
I haven't seen houses at this scale on Green Island
Can get a mansion with a view in sydney....for same money....these are like office buildings...eeeeeeeeew
Why do you want to move to another place when you have a nice, modern, one floor and an amazing view apartment?
We're happy if we end up staying but we want to try something new. We also want it easier to take our big Husky out for walks (plus a yard is a bonus). The elevators in a big building can often be slow and packed and sometimes ppl make a big deal about a big dog. I also like to go in and out of the house often to go around town and that's much easier in a house. For example it can take 5 min just to get out of the building here while in that same time I can drive to most places in Da Nang.
Completed but no one is living in them yet….. I hope it doesn’t become like the ghost towns/cities like in China
I actually found out later almost all the completed houses have people living in them. I guess people are just quiet in their houses
The real estate in Viet Nam is highly inflated.
Yeah that’s my initial assessment but I’m not familiar enough with the market here to say confidently
