These are typical numbers for someone staying long term — not the cheapest possible, and not a high-end lifestyle.
Monthly cost for one person
| Item | Typical range |
|---|---|
| 1BR apartment | 10–15M VND |
| Electricity + water | 600k – 1.2M VND |
| Food | 4–7M VND |
| Transport (scooter rental + fuel) | 1–1.5M VND |
| Internet + phone | 200–400k VND |
Things people miss
- Electricity in hot season rises sharply with all-day air conditioning
- Deposit is usually one month's rent, payable upfront
- Monthly rates are far below nightly rates — if you're staying past 30 days, always ask for the monthly price
