A Canadian expat family of four shares their experience moving into a luxury two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in Da Nang, Vietnam, in January 2026. The 90-square-meter unit is fully furnished with modern finishes, an open-concept kitchen and living area, a river-view balcony, and built-in storage throughout. The monthly rent is 22 million VND (about $900 USD), which includes weekly cleaning service but excludes electricity and water (estimated at 2 million VND per month). The family chose this condo after leaving a house with mold issues and a rent increase from 20 to 22 million VND. The video tours each room, highlighting the kitchen island, deep sink, air conditioning in every room, and the balcony as a favorite spot for morning tea. Practical tips include the need for a water filter (standalone unit, as drilling into counters is often not allowed), an air purifier (under $100 USD), and a dehumidifier (also under $100 USD) to manage humidity and prevent mold. The building offers a gym and outdoor pool with city and river views. The content is tailored for families relocating with children, emphasizing the importance of modern, clean housing and the trade-offs of paying more for upgraded amenities.
