A friend rents a two-story house near the sea with a garage and large plot of land for $600/month — an option for those wanting a private house with parking and yard space.
$600/month — house near the sea
One commenter recently searched himself and found a 2-room apartment for $700. Tip: with a bigger budget, choose a guarded residential complex; for cheaper options, look in the southern part of the city away from the sea, where $200 is realistic.
$700/month — 2-room apartment; guarded complex
Three-bedroom apartments or penthouses in residential complexes are available but well above $200/month. Around $150 you'd typically find a five-story house divided into small cramped rooms.

Finding an apartment with a kitchen in Nha Trang for $200/month is difficult — local flats are small. Families needing space for a live-in cook should look at standalone houses instead.
