Choosing an appropriate house for rent in Hcmc

Posted on by

The fact that buying or constructing a house to live in will cost more than most people can probably afford has led to the development of the house rental market in Vietnam. New house for rent agencies in Ho Chi Minh City (also called HCM city or Hcmc) are appearing on a regular basis across the city. Finding a house for rent in Hcmc by yourself can be possible but it also will cost you much more time and effort than using a real estate HCMC services agency.

How to find an appropriate house for rent in Hcmc is the common question, especially between people who are coming to live in Hcmc from abroad or wish to relocate within Hcmc. Let’s have a closer look at the reasons that might bring people to want to live in Hcmc and things to consider when looking for a house for rent in Hcmc.

Advantages of living in a house for rent in Hcmc

Obviously, Hcmc is the economic, cultural and social center of the South of Vietnam. It is a populous city of more than 7 million people coming from many regions. Living in Ho Chi Minh City can help you find a better job, enjoy the city life of a big urban melting pot and socialize with more people. Unfortunately, as we mentioned before, buying or constructing a house to live in, isn’t easy to afford.  That’s why living in a house for rent in Hcm city has become a popular choice.

Things to consider when looking for a house for rent in Hcmc

When you have decided to start looking for a house for rent in Ho Chi Minh City, there are some essential things to consider. The first question is “Where do you want to live?”. It can depend on where your workplace is located, which school you want your children (if you have any) to go to, and which lifestyle you prefer. There are many districts to live in Hcmc that you can consider: district 1 – the business center, district 2 – developing area where many expatriates and wealthy Vietnamese settle or district 10 known for its considerable student population and atmosphere. The second issue to consider is your budget which depends a lot on your income and monthly expenses. If you have an average income, a house for rent in districts that are not in the center would be the best due to their lower price and peaceful lifestyle. Once you are sure about those two main issues, you can do a little search on the internet. There are numerous real estate services available online that you can consult.

Some advice for choosing the right real estate agency

The best real estate agencies will always have an up to date database and the different products (in this case, houses for rent) that you will see online are actually available when you are browsing their site. Make a selection of items and see how long it takes to get feedback from the agency and how many of the chosen houses are still free.

After that first step, we recommend you ask at least three agencies to arrange for visits to the houses that match your criteria (price range, location, utilities, etc.). After an initial visit with staff from these real estate agencies, you will have a good idea whether they are able to understand your requirements or not.

If you follow this method we are sure you will find the best real estate agency for a house for rent in Ho Chi Minh City.

My life staying in a beautiful house for rent in Ho Chi Minh City (also called HCM city or HCMC)

Posted on by

Four years ago, I was a Cambodian student who had just graduated from the university and was appointed to work in HCMC, Vietnam. I was very proud to work here but I was also worried about many things such as how to get acquainted with a new culture, people, environment, food, especially how to find a good house. The reason I concerned about it was that finding a house for rent can affect not only our health but also our mind. Therefore, I intended to live with my aunt’s family or find a house for rent in HCMC (also called HCM city or Ho Chi Minh city).
I lived with my aunt’s family for about one month. They were very kind to me. They helped me to acquaint with Vietnamese culture, food and so on. However, it was hard for me to work and rest when living with an extended family. I had to work in the company for eight hours a day, so I needed to be relaxed so that I could continue to concentrate on my extra work at home. I felt so uncomfortable. Therefore, I decided to move out and look for a house for rent in HCM city (also called HCMC or Ho Chi Minh City).
After that, I lived in a house for rent in district 12 for one month and a half. Although it was quite cheap, it had three things that I didn’t like. Firstly, there wasn’t a garden. I am used to living in a house which has a garden. So when I lived in this house, it is unventilated which made me unhealthful and easy to be sick. Secondly, it was noisy. Because of the noisy neighbourhood, I felt uncomfortable and inconvenient. Finally, it was far from my company. I had to work in district 1. I took me about forty – five minutes to go to work everyday, which was so inconvenient. Therefore, I had to move out of another house again and begin looking for a house for rent in Ho Chi Minh City (also called HCM city or HCMC).
I spent a lot of time to look for a good house for rent but I didn’t find any one. Fortunately, the kind colleague named Tom Kennedy recommended a great site to me. What a wonderful website! It was what I desired to look for. After a short time, I finally found a suitable house for rent in HCMC (also called HCM city or Ho Chi Minh City) for me. It was in district 2, HCMC which has a lovely garden, a kitchen, a fridge freezer, a washing machine (hot water), a living room, a television (multichannel cable), ADSL Internet, two bedrooms and was priced $700. Besides, the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Moreover, it was near the company. So, I made a phone call for property rental inquirer to rent that house. They were very friendly, welcome and helpful. I soon completed the procedure for renting house and had it – my dream house. It is my house up until now. I have lived in this house with my wife and two children for about four years and we are very satisfied about it. Anyone who has ever visited my house also loves it, too. Choosing a house for rent in HCMC (also called HCM city or Ho Chi Minh City) is one of my best decisions I have ever made.
So, if you are looking for a house for rent in HCMC (also called HCM city or Ho Chi Minh City), don’t hesitate to click on snap.com.vn. Terrific houses are waiting for you there. Let’s make the dream come true!

House for rent in Ho Chi Minh City, location is the most important factor

Whatever your future house may look like, no matter how many rooms, furnishings or other aspects, the location is always a crucial part of choosing the right house for rent in Ho Chi Minh City (also called hcmc or hcm city).

However, a family might prefer to live in the outskirts of Saigon in a house for rent in Ho Chi Minh City (also called hcmc or hcm city). These areas offer a much more family friendly scenario where life is much more peaceful and the stress of the city can be put aside for a while.

House for rent in Ho Chi Minh City, furnished or unfurnished

This will surely depend on your previous stay, if you were already living in Saigon or if you were able to bring into the country your possessions from previous houses in another country, you will surely prefer to live in an unfurnished house for rent. This way, you can have all the space to put in your own furniture.

For sure, if you have no available furniture or home equipment (tv, fridge, oven, beds, etc.), you will prefer to choose a house for rent in hcmc (also called Ho Chi Minh City or hcm city) that has all the furnishings and appliances you may need.

The price of each of these options (furnished/unfurnished) will definitely take a toll on the price or rental fees that you will be required to pay.

Another issue is that foreigners don’t usually like the furniture provided by Vietnamese landlords as the cultural difference (and hence the taste) is huge.

When choosing a house for rent in Ho Chi Minh City, do I need a garden of not?

This is a typical question that future renters ask themselves when looking for a house for rent in hcm city (also called hcmc or Ho Chi Minh City) near the Districts 2 or 7.

If you can afford it, definitely go for a house for rent with a nice garden, this will always give you your own private and green space to chill out with your friends and family.

Some even would like a pool to come with the house for rent in hcm city (also called hcmc or Ho Chi Minh City) that they choose.

Do not forget you will need to have someone doing maintenance for the pool as well as the garden so you have to factor in the additional costs of labour (gardener) and material (chlorine, etc.).

I Hope these different ideas will be helpful to you when choosing a house for rent in Ho Chi Minh City (also called hcmc or hcm city)!

Best of luck in finding a nice house for rent in Vietnam and living the great adventure that living in Vietnam is. The real estate in Vietnam is prospering so if you explore the real estate in Ho Chi Minh City or the real estate in Hanoi, you will receive many offers.
