What it costs to rent in Da Lat

Rent figures usually get quoted from memory, off a single case. We gathered everything on offer in Da Lat on 30 August 2026 across ten Facebook groups that let places long-term: 165 posts, with a price named in 108 of them. The first thing the analysis turned up: flats and houses cannot be added together, or the numbers turn to mush. Split them, and the figures start to speak.

Flats and houses

Bedrooms count in houses, not in flats

In houses each bedroom costs about five million: two come to 5m ₫, three to 10m, four to 15m. The step is even, and it makes it easy to judge whether a room is worth the money. In flats this does not work at all. One bedroom goes for 8.2m, two for 12m, and three back down to 9m — though only three three-bedroom flats turned up, so that figure is early to lean on.

What that means for your search

• Need one bedroom — look at flats. One-bedroom houses are few and sit out on the edge.
• Need three or more — look at houses. Flats that size barely exist here: not one four-bedroom flat came up.
• Need two — compare both. A house comes out half the price of a flat, but you will be furnishing it yourself.

Median by bedrooms within each type

The top quarter of the market starts at 12m ₫

Flats and houses charge extra for different things

We checked which words in a listing travel with a high price, counting flats and houses separately. Mixing them is no good — the picture comes out backwards.

• A flat billed as «premium» or «modern» — 11m ₫ against 8m for the rest. Three million more, and the only marker that worked for flats at all.
• A furnished house — 12m against 7.5m for an empty one. Four and a half million more: furniture is rare in houses, present in eleven of thirty-six.
• Furniture in a flat adds nothing: thirty-two of fifty have it, so it is already in the price.
• The centre is no dearer than the edge. Flats near the lake and the market run half a million cheaper than the rest.
• Lifts and views barely move the price — a million either way, which is noise.

So do not search by the words

With flats, look at the class of the building rather than the list of conveniences: furniture, a balcony and a lift come with almost all of them and are already in the price. With houses it is the other way round — ask about furniture first. An empty house runs four and a half million a month below a furnished one, which is more than the furniture itself costs. The address does not move the price, at least not by the words in the listings. Central flats run slightly cheaper than outlying ones, and we have no explanation for that.

Utilities are almost never in the rent

We gathered the data on 30 August 2026 across ten Facebook groups letting long-term housing in Da Lat. It came to 165 posts. A price is named in 108, the property type is identifiable in 89, the bedroom count in 80, the ward number in 56, and the floor area in only 21 — which is why there is no per-square-metre figure here. Wanted-ads were filtered out during collection. One commercial-premises post and one house in Danang were removed by hand. Medians and quartiles come from the priced posts, the mention shares from all 165. We have one reference of our own: our lease on a house in Lam Vien, May 2026, at 22m ₫ for five bedrooms.

Options and prices

Cozy Garden Boutique Hotel

Lam Vien

10M₫

$380

per month, long stay · checked

One of the two long-stay rents we took straight from the owner rather than from a listing: a flat with two small bedrooms, two bathrooms and a balcony in a new building, 10M ₫ a month. The other measured rent is a whole house in old Ward 8 at 22M ₫.

Worth knowing. The monthly rate comes by phone — the booking sites sell the same flat by the night and dearer. Fifteen minutes to the centre by motorbike; the GO! hypermarket is about three kilometres away, on Lam Vien Square downtown.

Panorama — apartments in a round building on Tran Hung Dao, one or two bedrooms, city view

37 Tran Hung Dao, Xuan Huong

11–20M₫

$420–770

per month · one or two bedrooms · checked

Panorama lets flats long-term, and there are a lot of them. It is round, with a full-height light well inside: the floors run in a ring, the flat doors open onto a circular balcony with a lattice rail, and the light falls from above. The layouts inside are unusual. The fit-out differs from flat to flat and you see it at once: some are done in black and white marble with gloss fronts, others are light, with timber panelling on walls and ceiling, an olive splashback in the kitchen and coloured upholstery. What they share: a kitchen with an induction hob, oven and extractor, built-in wardrobes to the ceiling, air conditioning, a wall-mounted television, and a separate bathroom with a glassed-in shower and a water heater. Three types are let — one bedroom, two bedrooms, and a larger two-bedroom; each has its own living room with a kitchen. The windows look over the town — Da Lat’s roofs and the hills behind them; some flats have a terrace along the window, some a balcony over the street.

Worth knowing. Monthly prices as quoted by the manager on 29 August 2026: one bedroom with a living room and kitchen 11 million ₫, two bedrooms with a living room and kitchen 13 million ₫, and the larger two-bedroom 20 million ₫. Leases start at six months, and on a longer term the price is negotiable. The deposit is two months’ rent up front. The building is called Panorama — Tòa Nhà Panorama Đà Lạt — and stands at 37 Tran Hung Dao in Xuan Huong ward, the former Ward 10. Across the road are the OM Nướng grill and a Lẩu cua đồng place; the Central Market is about two kilometres down the street. The manager answers on WhatsApp and handles the contract herself. There are many flats and they are not alike: they differ in fit-out, in the view and in condition — some are fresh, some visibly worn. Say up front how long you need and how many bedrooms, and ask to see several, not one.

Careful. The deposit is two months’ rent — 22–40 million ₫ in hand before you move in, depending on the flat. Ask before signing on what terms it comes back. Ask separately about the monthly rent itself: what it covers and what is charged on top — electricity, water, internet, cleaning. The flats are in different condition: some are fresh, some visibly worn, and the fit-out varies too. You do not have to take the first one shown — ask for more and compare. The stay registration is filed by the owner of the property, not by you. Ask to see the confirmation on the day you move in: without it you cannot extend a visa later.
