TL;DR
The calmest options are Son Tra/An Thuong near the beach and gated communities like Golden Hills or FPT City; areas near the Han River (Hai Chau) flood more often during rainy season (October-November).
Son Tra and An Thuong are considered the cleanest and most developed area: close to the beach, cafes, supermarkets, less trash on streets, but rent is above city average.
For full protection from flooding and pests, look at gated communities like Golden Hills or FPT City — they have security, fencing, and fewer issues with insects/snakes, but are farther from downtown and the beach.
Houses near the Han River and in the older Hai Chau district flood more often during rainy season, especially after September — better to pick a second-floor unit or a house farther from the riverbank.
Pests (geckos, cockroaches, sometimes snakes) more often get into ground-floor houses with open yards — when viewing a property, check for sealed gaps and window screens.
