We Moved! Upgrading Our Apartment in Da Nang for HALF the Price

A digital nomad couple moved to a new apartment in Da Nang, cutting their rent from $465 to $285 per month while gaining better amenities. Located in the same beachside neighborhood, the new unit offers a sofa, in-unit laundry machine, balcony, improved internet, and more natural light—features that better support their remote work and daily routine. Downsides include a smaller bathroom, construction noise from nearby sites, and reduced cleaning service (once a week instead of twice). The apartment was found through a Facebook group and is four blocks from the beach. The couple emphasizes that the $180 monthly savings allows them to invest in gear, travel, or personal projects. They share this experience to help others considering a move to Da Nang understand what is available for under $300 per month, highlighting the trade-offs between cost and comfort for long-term digital nomad living.
