Renting a house seems so simple in a crowded place like Ho Chi Minh City. However, it causes quite many troubles for inexperienced lessees. To find the most appropriate house for your personal needs, you have to consider a lot of criteria. We will show you some useful pieces of information so that finding a house for rent in Ho Chi Minh City will be easier for you.
1. In districts downtown
The center area of the city has three districts, including District 1, 3, and 5. They have the most expensive houses in Saigon. The reason is that the need for renting in those 3 regions is extremely high. Also, those districts are very convenient for requirements of transport, education, as well as entertainment. So they are chosen by various people.
High-grade apartments are the most common choice for expats working in Vietnam and Vietnamese family having a stable financial statement. Houses for rent is the second popular type, which is also picked by numerous citizens. They have relatively diverse forms, varying from a one to two-story, mezzanine to a three to four-story structure.
Depending on the conditions, the position of the house and the purpose of the lessee, their prices are also various. New or upgraded houses have higher prices than old ones. If the house faces the street and the landlord rents it from another lessor, the price can be up to 50 million dongs per month. And for those having the same conditions and situated in alleys, the price is only about 30 to 40 million dongs per month.
If you have a high monthly budget or income, downtown will be absolutely great to live.

The closest area around the center of Ho Chi Minh City includes District 2 and 4, Binh Thanh, Phu Nhuan, and Tan Binh District.

Also, a lot of shopping malls, schools, universities, and places for entertainment are gathered here.
