How do you find a long-term studio apartment in Da Nang, and what does it usually cost?

Experience from September 2026 shows that price depends heavily on expectations: a traveler went through many listings on Telegram and Facebook in a week and says the cheapest options are small studios in poor condition. They did find a good, clean and pleasant apartment in the end, but very far in the north of the city.

A practical approach suggested in July 2026: arrive, book a place for a week on Booking or Airbnb, and choose an apartment once you are there. People search on the Chotot site, Facebook groups and Facebook Marketplace, and you can also walk into residential complexes you like: buildings have managers' contacts posted. This makes it easier to judge the real location and condition of the apartment.

For a quiet and inexpensive option, the FPT area was recommended in July 2026, with FPT Plaza as a landmark. According to a participant, a two-bedroom there rents for about 10 million VND a month, while studios cost 4–7 million. The downside is construction: Da Nang is in a building boom, and noise nearby can start without warning. They suggested searching Facebook Marketplace for local landlords and translating messages with ChatGPT.

Another July 2026 tip: look for studios on Facebook Marketplace in the 4–6 million VND range and budget about 1 million more for utilities. The participant notes that in 99% of cases a realtor will answer the listing, and translating messages with ChatGPT is convenient. Besides the FPT area, they suggested anything closer to the sea and the centre. In their view, joining groups isn't necessary — though other participants do use them.
