How to find the right furnished apartment in Da Nang for a long-term stay — what's included, how to negotiate, and which areas offer the best value.

Key takeaways

  • Long-term leases (6–12 months) are 15–25% cheaper than monthly rates
  • "Fully furnished" means different things — always get a furniture inventory
  • Electricity is usually billed separately — confirm the rate before signing
  • The best long-term deals are found through local agents or Facebook groups
  • A 3–6 month lease is a good middle ground between flexibility and cost savings

What counts as "long-term" in Da Nang?

In Da Nang's rental market, long-term typically means 3 months or more. Most landlords set prices based on three tiers: nightly/weekly (short-stay), monthly, and 3–12 month lease. The longer you commit, the lower the effective monthly cost.

For expats planning to stay several months — digital nomads, remote workers, teachers, retirees — a furnished long-term apartment is almost always the smartest and most cost-effective option.

Fully furnished, utilities not included. Prices negotiable — use this as a reference, not a ceiling.

What should a "fully furnished" apartment include?

Always request a written inventory — "fully furnished" is not a standard. Here's what a well-furnished Da Nang apartment should include:

  • Bed with mattress and pillow (confirm quality)
  • Wardrobe and storage
  • Sofa and dining table with chairs
  • Air conditioning (1 per main room)
  • Water heater
  • Washing machine (dryers are rare — line drying is the norm)
  • Refrigerator
  • Basic kitchen equipment: hob, cooking utensils, pots, cutlery, crockery
  • TV (often included; smart TV is a bonus)
  • WiFi router (or confirm landlord provides it)

Note what's not included — you may need to buy an iron, extra kitchen tools, or a desk fan.

How to negotiate a long-term lease

  1. Know your leverage. A 12-month commitment is very attractive to landlords — use it.
  2. Ask for the 6-month price even if you want 3 months. You can often meet in the middle.
  3. Offer to pay 2–3 months upfront. Cash flow security for the landlord often buys you a better rate.
  4. Negotiate included bills. Some landlords will throw in WiFi or water when you commit long-term.
  5. Ask about the electricity rate. Ensure it's the government rate, not an inflated "foreigner rate".
  6. Push for a flexible exit clause. A 1-month notice period with partial deposit return is reasonable to request.

Best neighbourhoods for long-term furnished rentals

An Thuong — Most walkable for expats

Premium location with everything on your doorstep: cafés, gyms, markets, beach, restaurants. The most popular but also the priciest. Ideal if city walkability and social life matter to you.

My Khe / Bac My An — Calmer long-term vibe

A few streets back from An Thuong but still beach-adjacent. Calmer, less tourist-traffic, slightly cheaper. Popular with couples and longer-term residents who don't need the full buzz of An Thuong daily.

Ngu Hanh Son — Best value for long stays

If your goal is to minimise housing cost and you have a motorbike, Ngu Hanh Son offers significantly cheaper furnished apartments in newer buildings. A solid 1BR can be had for $170–260/month on a 12-month lease.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum lease length for a furnished apartment in Da Nang?
There's no legal minimum, but most landlords prefer at least 1 month. For the best rates, 3–6 months is the sweet spot — you get meaningful discounts without the full commitment of a 12-month lease.
Are utilities included in furnished apartment rentals?
Water usually is. Electricity and internet usually are not — they're billed separately. Always clarify upfront. Electricity with AC in summer can add $50–120/month depending on usage.
Is it possible to find a furnished apartment in Da Nang under $300/month?
Yes — in quieter areas like Ngu Hanh Son or Cam Le, furnished 1-bedrooms can be found for $200–280/month on a long-term lease. In the popular beach areas, $300/month is the lower end for a decent furnished studio.
Should I use an agent or search directly?
Either works. Local agents are free for renters (they charge landlords). They have access to unlisted properties and can handle negotiations. Our housing service does the same — <a href="/services/housing">contact us</a> and we'll match you with options.
How long does it take to find a suitable apartment?
With active searching, most people find something in 3–7 days of viewings. Arriving with a clear budget and area preference significantly speeds things up.
