- We are moving from the country side of Vietnam to the city. Join us while we hunt district 7 looking for our next apartment. Which place would you pick?

I’m thinking of moving back to vietnam myself. Would love to watch more videos of your daily life such as finding apartments, getting around, settling in, healthcare, etc. A video of why your family decided to move to vietnam would be fun to watch too!
Very good for the video!!! This is the kind of stuff that I loooooove to see.
The apartment closer to everything. With that it's more convenient, gives y'all places to go and things to do with the family. That's worth it. Able to go to a store easier if you need to do it on a whim. That alone is a major 'amenity" because if y'all get a little restless and crapped up at home taking a walk with stores, etc around would be great. If it has a great pool and play area even better.
Out of your two contenders
While the more expensive apartment is really nice i would go for the apartment thats pretty much near everything you need. It was still a very nice apartment and it was slightly cheaper than the other.
Three of the first four shown among the second set of three, are a quarter under twice the last one.
Beautiful family. You’re a good family man. Love how calm and cool you are with the kids.
Thank you so much, I try
2:17 thank you so much for sharing this video. I was born Vietnam and living vicariously through you and your family’s awesome experience. Plus I love your cooking videos. Your perspective on our Vietnamese food is so real! Remember happy wife happy life!!!!
Thank you so much
Awesome video. Love seeing reality of living in Vietnam. Love your videos. I find everyday life videos provide a broader perspective than just vacation greats. Keep up the great work.
You shoulda did a follow up vid on which one your family chose and why. A complete walk through once fully furnished would have been cool.
I agree, you have kids so being closer to stores would be better. That would be my selling point between anything. 3 kids, moped... yep, the one in town. I liked watching this
Glad you enjoyed it
I can see why you chose your current apartment among these ones. Newer build, better furniture, nicer layout.
Fun video. Loved seeing all the different places.
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved this. More please :)
Wow Chad, we just swap cities, while I moved to Philly you moved my Vietnam.
I planned to come back one day, so this video is good reference for me in terms of locations to look for in the future.
I hope the price mark up isn’t too much in the future. I love this video, very informative much love.
Great video. Thanks for showing us. I would pick.........
Woah those are way fancier than the "luxury apartments" in my area in northeast US that cost $4-5k per month. Imagine what those would cost in NYC or SF lol.
I know for the same money in the us we could barley find a liveable place
3k studio apartment 400 sq ft, plus utilities lmao
an average VN household earn like 2k-3k a month, $550 to $1450 is not cheap in Vietnam, often people aim for the price range of $40-$400
@@phamtuan1840 average household earn 2-3k a month? You are kidding right? Unless you meant household consisting of 4 people working. I chat with several local Vietnamese while I was there and the average office worker makes $500-600USD. Taxi driver and odd job makes about $300-400 a month.
@@hoodhunter3262 yes, you are right
I talk about a household in big cities with skilled jobs. Sorry for not being clear about that.
I love the apartment hunting!!!
Oh the last apartment was so nice, and the one for $1275 was really good as well.
It’s definitely nice to have the choice
cute family...best wishes to you and your family
Great video.
It's interesting watching your videos, thought i'm Vietnamese and also living in District 7. 😅
Yeah, I live in District 7, Phu My Hung, maybe the nicest part of HCMC but it's still very inexpensive compared to Seattle, SF, Boston... the places I've lived in the US. It's not hard to spend money in Vietnam but it's also not hard to live frugally if you want to. That's a benefit of this country (being married to an VNese person makes it easier too).
The one with the smaller rooms and the two gianormous outdoor patios.
Choose the apartment closer to services with great walking. You can always make it nicer.
District 7 is nice. Only if you dont plan on going into city center often. The congestion is horrendous.
Nice apartments.
U really should consider Vinhomes Grand Park in D9 especially u have kids... I've lived there 2 years,.....paid less than $350 all In including elect for a beautiful smart F/F 28sqm Studio..the facilities here are totally awesome with full pools and courts for different ball games & also Dozens of high end playground catering to kids of every age ..what i really like here are the amount of open space & fresh air... there's a huge park here and quiet peaceful river side too
We moved in already but thank you, I’ll check that area out if we leave this spot
@@yeschefwithchadkubanoff There are some downsides of the place that it's too far from District 1, and the road leading to it is pretty small, so you would be experienced traffic trams for every rush hour.
But the good news is that they are going to construct a new road that connects the VGP to xa lộ Hà Nội next year. They also have been building a new shopping mall and it is said to be the biggest in District 9. So after a few years, VGP may be one of the best places.
You're awesome.
Thank you
I would pick the cheaper one in the good location, but I'm not looking after a family like you. That last one was SOOO nice, but if it's far from shit, meh. Great video!!! You can point a camera at anyting in Vietnam and give your opinion and I'd watch it tho LOL.
Awesome glad you enjoyed it
I think it’s time to move to Vietnam. I pay about $3500 for a one bedroom apartment in San Jose 🥲
😮😮😢 $3500 for 1 bedroom is crazy
Damn 😢
San Jo just isn’t the same nomore
YOU'RE LIE 🙏🙏🙏1 bedroom apartment in San Jose?
@@viruschinesewuhanvirus7359 Why would I lie LOL. I live in a one bedroom luxury apartment in north SJ. My monthly rent is $3,057. They charge $100/month for one parking space. I pay another $150/month for two pets, not including mandatory licensing fees. My utilities range between $250-400/month. So it’s usually more than $3,500 per month not including renter’s insurance, wifi, other bills, or any spending.
Your daughter looks cute 🥰
Always wonder whats inside of those apartments in phu my hung. I always pass buy and dream of one 😂
D7 is nice especially when u have kids, there’s alot of playgrounds, kindergartens,…amenities nearby. Just dont live in D2, you’re gonna need a boat when it’s raining season.
Definitely a fully furnished apartment is better thsn having to buy your own stuff, if and when you move, its a nightmare. Good luck with your choice. Location location location
Just so everyone know Chad is choosing the one that is 1,275. Nice kitchen
Hi Chad, I m researching moving to VN. I'll be in Hanoi in 9/23, HCMC in 10/23, Danang in 11/23; to scope out the scene, sort a speak. Do you have any suggestions on how to shop/look for apartments/tours? Listing agents? Websites? FB groups?
What they say in real estate? it is always "location... location... location!"
a really difficult choice, i just cant pickkk
Hi chad thanks for the great video. My family and I are about to move to HCMC and this video was really helpful. Can you let me know the names of the Towers you visited and the real estate agent as well.
I hope its not too late to answer your question. There are many nice high end buildings in district 7. We checked out Sky89, The Peak in Midtown, riveria points, panorama, garden courts, scenic valley….
The real estate guy we had before was super nice and helpful i can give you his contact if you’re still interested
2 dua con cua ban
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Always a rush job and the quality shows...
If only they would take their time and do things properly...
I don't like high rise buildings but I am picky... 😂
I would choise the amazing expensive apartment. You only live once, go for it.
I came back to this video to see if you guys found an apartment! Which did you guys go with? Any updates?
We took the great view, I’ll post an update vid asap
I think with $1k rent per month, you should check out Midtown! Especially the Peak M8, Midtown! They’re reallllyyy nice!
Yeah we love midtown and the peak but they where much more. A 2 bedroom was around 40 million
Peak M8 looks nice. How far is that away from all the action? e.g. from Ben Thanh Market? I'm thinking of going back to Vietnam to stay for several months to explore. I can work anywhere so Vietnam late evening is US morning time, which works great for me.
@@hoodhunter3262 well, you can get "all the action" within D7. Midtown is like 5 mins away from the Crescent mall heheh. For Ben Thanh market, it takes about 25-40 mins depends on the traffic.
@@yeschefwithchadkubanoff ooh really?! I guessed the price must have gone up! Mine is a 2 bedroom, on the 17th floor, and I have been paying 27 million to my landlord every month since Oct last year. Maybe you should try bargaining? : D
How much would it be to buy instead?
Everything is more expensive in the bigger cities like HCMC. I would rather stay in Nha Trang which is a beach tourist city. Can find airbnb studio apartments or cheap hotels for $200-300 per month. I wouldn't mind the countryside or close to it. But I guess you're going to stay in the big city to give people tours for income. Makes sense.
This is APARTMENT INCLUDING SUPERMALL, SUPER MARKET, HUGE PARKING (motobike, cars), SWIMMING POOL, GYM & PARK FOR KIDS.
While mostly small apartment/condo build by PRIVATE HOUSE OWNER/LANDLORD might be beautiful modern, clean, but it’s smaller in land size & don’t have CARS PARKS & PARKS, SWIMMING POOL, GYMS,etc..
IN SAIGON (HCM) you can rent all type of CONDO/APARTMENT as well.
Mostly US/WESTERN don’t understand & recognize this different, that’s why they’re confused.
These apartments mostly building in huge lands with fews building towers together. And mostly stay at DIRECT SURFACE IN STREET AT CENTER DISTRICT.
While mostly smaller private apartments/condos build by private property landlord might have good price little bit but not fit with FAMILY WITH KIDS OR ELDERY.
Hope you understand what I mean.
BTW, NHA TRANG & DA NANG IS BEAUTIFUL BUT THEYRE CENTER VIETNAM.
There have 1 STORM SEASON IN YEARS, so it have reason why it cheaper.
It’s not because less foreigners or less tourists
I’m VIETNAMESE so I know what I’m talking about. SAIGON & Hanoi is center head of Vietnam because it have reason.
SEA PORT IS BIG & EASY, WAVES IS NOR HSRSLY AS CENTER. Centers Vietnam is beautiful but summer season is too hot & humid but rainy storm season is bad.
PPL LIVING IN THIS PAND OVER THOUNDSAND YEARS SO THEY KNOW IT FROM GENERATION OF GENERATION LEARN LESSONS & EXPERIENCE!!
Nha Trang is definitely beautiful, if i have money I want live in Đà Nẵng. Nốt Nhà Trang, they’re big city but still have almost countryside & space enough.
And Đà Nẵng have good Hospitals (same level as Saigon).
But Nha Trang don’t have, when ppl get serious trouble sickness they’re rather to go Đà Nẵng or HCM. It’s plus add as well.
Đà Nẵng is third HEAD CITY IN VIETNAM SO GORVEMENT PUSHING ON HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS (HOSPITALS). If you’re retirement & have healthy trouble, nothing best city with top hospitals.
It’s also another reason why HEAD CITY ALWAYS A BIT EXPENSIVE THAN PTHERS CITY.
Because Vietnam is still developing so Gorvement can’t build alots hospital in every place.
Btw, MOST GENIUS TOP DOCTORS STUDY IN BIG CITY & AFTER THEYRE GRADUATE THEYRE WORKING IN CITY. It’s reason why alots good doctors only stay in HANOI, HCM. Laterly is ĐA NANG, HUẾ.city & CẦN THƠ (southern city in bottom Vietnam)
Btw, my sister family livin in Đà Nẵng.
I thought you were from Ontario Canada man 🤔
Wow its so expensive to live in Vietnam
and I thought my 9mil 2 bedroom 2 bath, fully furnished modern apartment overlooking a huge park was expensive in Saigon. These agents are definitely giving you foreigner pricing.
How could you think 9 million is expensive for “modern apartment” in the biggest city in Vietnam. We looked at over 20 apartments, if you want to live around Phú Mỹ Hưng, you have to pay for it. For us it’s in our budget and well worth it.
@@yeschefwithchadkubanoff The last Villa in D7 that I had was under 1k USD and it was a 5 bedroom plus a bonus room with a rooftop pool. I'm not saying 9 mil is crazy high but it's on the higher end for a 2 bedroom 2 bath. I understand your need to be in Phu My Hung with the kids and all, but unless you are working there, there are much more affordable and nice places to live. The only thing I dont have is a BBQ but we do have a huge park with trees, a basketball court, pool and its quiet. I enjoy your cooking videos they are very interesting. If you need some content you should try visiting the produce wholesale market, thats where I buy ingredients for my fermented hot sauces. cheers
Where did you find all of these places? Is there a broker or website you'd recommend?
Woah more content like this, please! Loved it! Hope you got the right apartment with the right location :)
Glad to hear it, I’ll make more this style
Hi. Love the videos. Can you share the contact info for the realtor?
I am planning to go back to VN to buy an apartment. How much would a 3 bedrooms in District 7 usually go for?
That is a hard question to answer anywhere from around 200k usd to 450k. Things are very high right now in my opinion
How r your kids going to school in vn? I have small kids and would love to live in vn too.
Which complex are you looking at, Would love to have it too for a price range estimate in case I going there too :-D
He will post another video about the apartment he picked soon
There is a great place in District 9 called Vinhome Grand Park, it's the best budget option. You can get a two-bedroom apartment (60 square meters) for about 300$. The quality of each apartment is still on point. The biggest downside is that the place is far from the city center
30-40 minutes from D1 is hella far! I rather pay much more to be closer to where the actions and still have the luxury stay.
Hi Chad. Please tell me where is the location or name of the condominium @5:00
It’s sky 89 in district 7
It is per month or for the whole apartment because the price on some of those apartments is way too expensive
It is per month, he's looking specifically for city center apartment that fits 3 bedroom because he has a lot of kids
If go for 2 bedroom he can probs find something at half the price but it aint what he was looking for. And if it's not in the city center can probs find something 1/4 the price, but it is what it is.
But no vietnamese house are not that cheap that you can afford with 14k lolw. Those room he saw probs goes for 340k for full buy. Our real estate kinda bubbled to the moon like everywhere else
So spacious u can build a cooking studio.
That’s the plan
@@yeschefwithchadkubanoff aha
Going to Saigon in the fall, any recommendations for a family hotel?
We always do airbnb in an apartment building, airbnb is always good for family as it’s big and private. How many days are you going to spend time in sg?
We usually do Airbnb, d4 has a lot of apartments and is close to D1 with a more hectic energy, d7 is more laid back, more family friendly but a bit further to d1
$1100
what u use to find all of appartments in there
My wife was speaking to a few real estate agents
👍✅😜✅👍
Lol, I live in Toronto now and 1k2 dollar give me a basement 2 small room and 1 bath. 😢
I know it, for the same money we would find just a crappy apartment in Pennsylvania
QUESTION what are u filming this video with?
95% is with a DJI Pocket 2
@@yeschefwithchadkubanoff it looks good! The quality is amazing
16:38 🦇 ahh!
I heard you are from Philly. Which parts of Philly did you live?
I was born in Southampton, lived mostly suburbs but a few years in west Philly and northern liberties
i don't like the windows in vietnamese apartments compared to the windows here in NYC. Those windows in Vietnam are so dangerous, esepcially for kids
holy moly isnt 1350$ extremely much for vietnam? wont it make more sense to buy a house/flat and just pay the monthly mortgage?
Things are extremely overpriced so not it doesn’t make sense to buy now
watching the first couple of apartments i'm kinda feeling the foreigner treatment vibe. No way some of them are going for that much
Yep for 27m dong/ month in hanoi you can get god tier penthouse level apartment, 160+square meter with insane 270 degree view in hanoi ecopark.
Lol 30mil a month, your salary must be 50+ mil, how many people in VN can afford that kind of rent? Of course, it’s only for those foreigners treatment 😂
Do you have the information on the $550 a month apartment brother?
Check it out Vinhome grand park
lol $1400? That's a lot even for the states.
first one gotta be a joke if it is going for 27 mil.
How long are you staying in Vietnam?
No plans right now
Location Location Location.
Be careful to live up high with the kids
It’s just an apartment. You’re not married to it, I guess just pick one that fit to your pocket. Period
That’s so cheap compare to LA apt 😂
is it ur child ?
Yes
@@yeschefwithchadkubanoff3 children in Vietnam is a big family. Apartments look great but expensive for a Vietnamese income.
The Price 500/month i thing not CHEAP brother...
Same price as you would pay in some cities in The Netherlands, this is ridiculous
Woah the house prices are crazy low in Vietnam. Can’t even find a decent 1 bedroom place for $1k in NYC nowadays. House (and many other things) prices just makes me wanna move to Vietnam, everything over there is like so cheap
