Why rent a house instead of an apartment in Da Nang?
Apartments dominate Da Nang's expat rental market, but houses offer something different: space, a garden or yard, more privacy, and often a full local-neighbourhood feel rather than a high-rise complex.
Houses are the go-to for families with kids, people with pets, and anyone who wants to cook more, work from home comfortably, or simply spread out. They're also the only option if you want a private pool.

Best areas for renting a house in Da Nang
Son Tra Peninsula — Most scenic
The forested peninsula north of the city. Quiet, green and upscale — with beautiful views, access to secluded beaches and a genuine sense of space. Popular with families and those wanting nature. Trade-off: it's the furthest from the city centre and you'll need a motorbike or car for everything.
My Khe / Bac My An — Beach lifestyle
A mix of houses and apartments just back from the main beach strip. Houses here give you a garden, proximity to the sand, and the An Thuong café scene nearby. One of the most sought-after areas for expat house renters.
Ngu Hanh Son — Best value for space
South of the beach areas, near the Marble Mountains. Houses are significantly cheaper and often larger — a 3-bedroom with a garden can be found for $600–800/month. The trade-off is distance from the expat amenities, but it's quiet and very liveable.
Hoa Xuan / Cam Le — Family suburbs
Further inland, quieter and more local. Newer housing developments with wider streets. Good for families on tighter budgets who don't need to be beach-adjacent. A 15–20 minute motorbike ride from the sea.
What to check when viewing a house
- Roof and drainage. Da Nang gets heavy rain and occasional typhoons — check for leaks and ensure drainage is solid.
- Flood risk. Some inland areas flood during heavy rain. Ask neighbours if in doubt.
- Plumbing. Run every tap and shower; check water pressure and hot water availability.
- Electrical capacity. Multiple AC units, a washing machine and a water heater all draw significant power — confirm the wiring is adequate.
- Security. Check door locks, window security and whether a perimeter wall or fence exists.
- Garden maintenance. Clarify if garden upkeep is your responsibility or the landlord's.
- Parking. Motorbike parking should be covered or lockable.
House vs apartment — which is right for you?
