What is the average cost of housing in Vietnam?
If you are thinking about moving to Vietnam, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing...
"Housing cost is much lower than in Europe; my house rental (include my office) is 150 US$, electricity, water and gas and cable TV is around 150 US$; food cost me about 400 US$ / month. I don't eat meat a lot; price for pork for instance, doubled since 1 year ago. 1 night partying cost me around 100 US$ (Whiskey or cognac, soft drinks and tip for the waitress)," remarked another expat who made the move to Phan Thiet, Vietnam.
"The cost of housing in Vietnam varies greatly depending on the location and size. Prices for apartments in major cities range from affordable to very expensive, while buy-and-build land in rural areas is typically much more affordable. In general, living costs in Vietnam are still relatively low compared to many other countries in the region," explained one expat living in Vietnam.
