This guide breaks down Da Nang's four main residential areas for short-term visitors and long-term residents. My Khe and My An are tourist hubs with walkable beach access, international cafes, and lively nightlife, ideal for stays of up to two weeks. Son Tra offers a quieter, local-expat mix with affordable street food and smoothie stalls, close to the beach and Lady Buddha. Hai Chau, the city center, is the cheapest area with major markets like Con Market and Han Market, but is farther from the beach and has heavier traffic. Khue My, where the creator currently lives, features modern, newly built apartments and a peaceful residential feel, suitable for long-term stays despite some construction noise. The video includes scooter footage, map overviews, and practical tips on rental prices, such as a scooter for $60 per month and a pho bowl for 50,000 VND ($2).
