An Thuong · Đà Nẵng

Coffee, the sea and familiar faces.

A neighbourhood by My Khe Beach with cafés and visitor life. A useful starting point for coastal Da Nang: breakfast nearby, a walk to the sea, an evening routine. Choose a quiet home by its street and windows, not by the neighbourhood name.

Worth exploring if

You want cafés, walks and social life near home.

A day in this neighbourhood

Start with coffee and a walk to My Khe. Check the road crossing and shade on the way back.

A suggested way to explore, not a promise about a particular address.

The trade-off

Busy venues and traffic can be audible in the evening.

Check in person

Visit in the evening, close the windows and listen from the bedroom. Check the desk and try a video call.

These are familiar home-search areas, not administrative boundaries. An Thuong is a neighbourhood within the wider southern coastal area.

Sea and walks

My Khe Beach; the walk depends on the street.

Han River walks; the beach is a separate trip.

Everyday rhythm

Cafés, restaurants and beachside life.

City errands, markets, cafés and the riverfront.

Getting around

Compare city routes and bridge crossings.

The trade-off

Busy venues and traffic can be audible in the evening.

Busy roads; the beach is not just outside your door.

Check in person

Visit in the evening, close the windows and listen from the bedroom. Check the desk and try a video call.

Check parking, building access and road noise. Test your route at the time you will use it.

Sources and context

Landmarks checked against tourism sources. Daily itineraries and recommendations are our editorial interpretation. Reviewed September 2026.

For a tenant, the Han river splits Da Nang into two banks. The east is the beach side: Son Tra with its towers by the river, the An Thuong quarter by the beach, Ngu Hanh Son in the south with the resorts and the schools. The west is Hai Chau, the city centre. Where to live comes down to three things: whether you need to walk to the sea, whether you will ride a scooter, and how much you want to spend. Below is a short comparison; each area's page has the prices, the buildings, what is nearby and the downsides.

The four areas in brief

Area	To the beach	Noise	Housing	Prices
Son Tra	5-15 minutes	medium	new towers by the river and the beach	ours from $731; new river towers on the market $720-800
An Thuong	3-7 minutes on foot	high	serviced buildings, studios and one-bedrooms	studios and one-bedrooms roughly $350-700
Ngu Hanh Son	5-15 minutes	low	villas, resorts, FPT City	ours in The Panoma from $654; The Panoma on the market about $840, villas about $2,590
Hai Chau	10-15 minutes by scooter	medium to high	the centre, older and newer river towers	ours from $846; new promenade towers on the market $1,060-1,140

Our catalogue prices as of 09.10.2026, public-listing medians; minutes to the beach are our estimate.

Which area for whom

Son Tra suits people staying a year who want a new building with a pool and the sea and the centre equally close; 10 apartments from our catalogue are here, and 24 of ours are in The Panoma just across the line in Ngu Hanh Son. An Thuong suits people living alone or as a couple, working remotely and wanting to live without a scooter. Ngu Hanh Son suits families with school-age children and anyone who wants a house with a garden; villas and houses are on the villas and houses page. Hai Chau suits people who work in the centre and count their money: the budget for a one-bedroom by the sea gets a two-bedroom here.

The detailed comparison, with numbers on noise, commuting and rent, is in the guide to the best areas to live.

About the names

Since 1 July 2025 Vietnam has no districts as a level of government, and addresses use the new wards: the east bank by the bridges is An Hai, the north of the peninsula is Son Tra, the south is Ngu Hanh Son, the centre is Hai Chau and Hoa Cuong. We name the area pages the old way because that is how people search; which quarter is now called what is in our guide to the new ward names.
