Studio Apartment for Rent in Dakao, District 1 — $450/month
At $450 a month in District 1, this fully furnished studio is one of the best value setups for an expat just arriving in Ho Chi Minh City or working nearby.
The property
You're looking at a 45-square-meter studio on the 1st floor of a secure, well-maintained building on Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Dakao ward. The unit comes completely furnished: bed, desk, sofa, kitchenette, and storage. The layout is straightforward, the natural light is solid, and everything you need is already in place. No spending weeks hunting for a table or chair.
What's included
Cleaning service twice a week, laundry service, and 24/7 security mean you're not managing maintenance headaches. The building handles it. Utilities (water, electricity, WiFi) are factored into the monthly rent, so no surprise bills at the end of the month.
The location
Dakao is centrally located in District 1, which puts you walking distance or a quick taxi ride from the main business areas of downtown. If you're working near the financial district or at an international company in Ben Thanh, you're looking at 10-15 minutes by motorbike or 20-25 by taxi. The neighborhood has local restaurants, small markets, and cafes, plus you're a short walk to Ben Thanh Market if you want to source groceries. For expats seeking a serviced apartment in District 1 with fewer frills but solid fundamentals, this is practical and affordable.
The nearby Tao Đàn Park is a 5-minute walk, good for morning runs or an evening stretch. If you need international amenities, most are a short ride away: international schools, Western supermarkets (Co.opmart, Big C), and expat-friendly restaurants throughout District 1.
Good to know
This is a minimum 12-month lease. The building doesn't allow pets. If you're planning to register a Temporary Residence Card (TRC) for visa purposes, the landlord supports the process. The unit is ready for immediate occupancy.
One practical note: it's a studio, so if you work from home full-time and need separate spaces for work and relaxation, you might feel the squeeze. But for someone spending most of their day out and mainly needs a clean bed and shower, this is efficient and well-managed.
