"Finding a place to live in Ho Chi Minh City can be a daunting task. However, there are a few options available to those looking for a place to call home. One option is to look for a rental property through a real estate agent. This can be a great way to find a place that fits your budget and needs.

"Having spent the past 6 years doing a long commute to work I decided to live close to my job if it was feasible - and it was. I live in District 7 of HCMC on the 14th floor of a group of 25 storey apartment blocks. In the centre of the 4 blocks is a sort of village square with several swimming pools, a gym, small shops/cafes/ hairdressers, a large good supermarket and two tennis courts. More shopping centres are within 5 minute's taxi ride, and I can get into District 1 shopping in 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. I used a local real estate office to find my apartment, someone recommended by a work colleague," said another expat in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
