Renting in Tan Binh: prices, amenities and getting around

A quick introduction to Tan Binh: its streets, daily life, price levels and who should consider it.

Overview

Tan Binh is a part of Ho Chi Minh City known for roads such as Cộng Hòa and Hoàng Văn Thụ. It mixes long-established housing with newer apartment buildings, so the residents are varied, from multi-generation families to young professionals.

Getting around

Most residents get around by motorbike, car or ride-hailing. The main roads are busy at rush hour, so when viewing a home try the trip at that time to learn the real travel time.

Daily life

Markets, supermarkets, cafes and clinics are within a few hundred metres in many parts of Tan Binh. Schools from kindergarten to secondary are spread across the area, and familiar breakfast stalls open early.

Prices

Apartments here are typically listed for sale at around 63 to 118 million dong per m², and let by the month for about 10 to 41 million dong depending on size and furnishing. These are reference levels from the listings only; the real price also depends on the building, the floor and the orientation.

Who it suits

This area suits families who need to be near schools and professionals who want to save on travel time. When you view homes, this list can help you compare them:

  • View at rush hour to learn the noise level and the traffic.
  • Ask clearly about the management fee, utilities and parking costs.
  • Check the legal papers and the ownership term before paying a deposit.
