On this page
Rent is the line that moves most in Nha Trang. A one-bedroom runs from VND 5,000,000 to VND 22,000,000 a month depending on the neighbourhood. At Tran Phu Beach the second-hand price for a one-bedroom is VND 12,000,000 to 22,000,000, while Phuoc Hai is VND 5,000,000 to 8,500,000.
Everything else is smaller and has a posted price: internet, SIM, a coffee, a day pass. This page lists each one with its source and date. No source adds up a month for Nha Trang, so the page does not either. Pick the lines you use and add them.
Prices are in the currency the source quotes. Most are VND. Where a source quotes US dollars, the dollar figure is kept.

Rent by area
AffordWhere gives rent by neighbourhood. Its prices are second-hand rental market rates, typical for expats. Second-hand contracts are sublets and usually cost more than first-hand contracts, which come straight from the landlord or housing company.
| Area | 1-bed, second-hand | 1-bed, first-hand | 2-bed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phuoc Hai | 5,000,000-8,500,000 | 4,000,000-7,000,000 | 8,000,000-14,000,000 |
| Vinh Hai | 6,000,000-11,000,000 | 5,000,000-9,000,000 | 10,000,000-18,000,000 |
| Vinh Hoa | 6,800,000-12,000,000 | 5,500,000-10,000,000 | 11,000,000-19,000,000 |
| City Centre | 11,000,000-19,000,000 | 9,000,000-16,000,000 | 18,000,000-31,000,000 |
| Tran Phu Beach | 12,000,000-22,000,000 | 10,000,000-18,000,000 | 21,000,000-35,000,000 |
All figures are VND a month. A visa and housing agent’s guide, updated on 16/7/2026, gives dollar ranges by area. Its conversion rate is 1 USD = about 26,000 VND.
- Centre and Tran Phu: from about US$350-500 a month.
- Old Quarter: from about US$250-350.
- North (Hon Chong, Po Nagar): from about US$250-400. North inland is about US$200-300.
- West (Vinh Diem Trung, Big C): one-bedroom about US$400-500.
- South (Lotte Mart area): from about US$300-450.
- An Vien villas: about US$800-2,000+.
The same guide says prices climb 20-30% in high season, December to March. In summer you can haggle, and the minimum lease is usually one month.
Numbeo’s crowd-sourced sample gives a three-bedroom at VND 19,500,000 in the centre and VND 16,645,838.73 outside it. The page had 254 entries in 12 months from 26 contributors. Read these as a rough guide, not a quote. For where each area suits you, see where to live in Nha Trang.
Deposit and up-front cash
AffordWhere says deposits are usually 1-2 months and furnished serviced apartments are common for expats. Plan for the first month of rent plus that deposit before you unpack.
A scooter has its own deposit. VIETMOTO lists VND 2,000,000 for a Honda Vision (2020-2024) and for the Vinfast Evo Lite. The rental deposit guide covers what comes back and when. The rental contract guide covers the clauses.
Electricity and water
Electricity for a household is a six-tier price.
| Monthly use | VND per kWh |
|---|---|
| 0-50 kWh | 1,984 |
| 51-100 kWh | 2,050 |
| 101-200 kWh | 2,380 |
| 201-300 kWh | 2,998 |
| 301-400 kWh | 3,350 |
| 401 kWh and above | 3,460 |
A landlord who charges a tenant more than the regulated price at the household rate faces a fine of VND 20 to 30 million. The landlord electricity guide has the clauses.
Water is a progressive tariff with four levels per household per month. The tiers below come from a decision that applies from the July 2019 water-bill period. A newer provincial decision dated 21/09/2022 is listed for the water company. Ask your landlord for the last water bill to see the tiers in use.
| Monthly use per household | VND per m3 (2019 tariff) |
|---|---|
| First 10 m3 | 5,040 |
| Over 10 up to 20 m3 | 6,930 |
| Over 20 up to 30 m3 | 7,770 |
| Over 30 m3 | 10,080 |
The water price includes VAT and water-meter and branch-pipe costs, but not the environmental-protection fee on domestic wastewater. In February 2026 the provincial statistics office reported household water prices up 1.66% on the month before.
Internet and mobile
FPT’s page, in its table headed 09/2026, lists Internet GIGA at VND 195,000 a month with Wi-Fi 6 and 300 Mbps down and up. FPT Internet SKY is also VND 195,000, with 1 Gbps down and 300 Mbps up.

Xanh SM listed its Nha Trang taxi opening fare for the first 2 km at VND 29,500 on 12/02/2025. It listed VND 18,000 per km from the next km up to km 12. That page is older than six months, so treat it as a guide to the order of magnitude.

Rented housing rose 0.18% on the month, which the office put down to higher management and repair costs around Tet. That is one month’s figure, taken during the Lunar New Year, so it is not a trend.
