DaNang! A Successful landing for a New York Expats Retirement Adventure !

Description We’re in Sơn Trà, Da Nang—one block from Mỹ Khê Beach—touring a sleek aparthotel (LIVIE Da Nang Style) and sharing a first‑time expat’s soft-landing story. Ben (54, New York) arrived on a 90-day tourist visa for a 2–3 month exploration and found this quiet, modern base just north of An Thương. Inside the building: a calm lobby with a cafe and koi pond, an interior atrium for airflow, and a rooftop pool with views of Sơn Trà Mountain and ocean peeks. The studio itself is contemporary with a balcony; utilities (including aircon) are all-in—ideal as summer AC can be a major expense. Short-term price: 20,000,000 VND/month (~US$800), with potential negotiation for longer stays. Ben’s take: Da Nang lives up to the research—friendly people, great coffee, fantastic food, and an easy place to acclimate. He skipped renting a scooter (uses Grab and walks a lot), does daily beach walks and stretching, and prefers the quieter vibe of Sơn Trà after a soft landing in An Thượng. Stay to the end for the small-world twist that connects this new subscriber to the channel through a mutual friend back in Buffalo. If you’re considering relocating to Vietnam, this video covers: neighborhood scouting by foot, short-term vs long-term rentals, how building orientation affects AC bills, and a realistic first-timer perspective on visas, transport, and lifestyle.
