Post new topic

Johaturner

Hi guys!


We are a family of five from Sweden, looking to relocate in Hoi An next year.


The kids will attend Hoi An International School and we will be working from home.


We want to be close to restaurants/walking distance to gyms, food stores etc. We don't need to live in the middle of town, some greenery and peace and quiet would also be appreciated, but not too remote.


Living close to other expat families would be great!


So now to my question - what are your favorite areas in Hoi An to live in?

Hi and welcome to the Hội An, Việt Nam forum.

That's different from the guide Priscilla mentioned.


Go back far enough down that list of threads and hopefully you'll find some helpful opinions about different areas.


I personally think that the eastern edge of bordering (across a small river bridge) with & Cửa Đại Street--major artery from to Ancient Town and location of many nice restaurants & useful shops--is ideal for me and my Vietnamese wife, but you might do better on the eastern side of Cẩm Châu, maybe at or near the rice fields, within easy distance of popular in neighboring Sơn Phong.


That would put you much closer to


Good luck with your plans.

@OceanBeach92107 Awesome, thanks a million! Will look into both areas asap!
