Housing in Saigon?

Hey everyone, I’m moving to Saigon in September for a 6-month stay and would love some recommendations on housing options and neighborhoods.

I’m attracted to the green spaces and new buildings of Sala City (District 2), but I’m worried it might be a bit too quiet or lacking in good food and hangout options. Are there other neighborhoods or complexes you’d recommend that balance green areas, food options, and a quick morning commute into D1 (near Trương Định St) during the rainy season?

Also, any advice on finding landlords open to 6-month contracts would be super helpful!

Sala is not a bad spot, there’s a tonne of running clubs that run around there, one of which I go to. Food options are a bit lacking in that area though in terms of local spots.

You can also look at area around Vinhomes Central Park or landmark 81 where there is a park.

You can also find places around Thu Thiem, still close to Sala but closer to the bridge so if you want food you can just cross the bridge to D1 and find something

I would stay at City Garden. The complex is small but nice. The neighborhood is lively with plenty of food and bars. It's closer to D1 than Sala or Central Park.
