Is Phu Nuan District safe?

Post new topic

I just got offered a contract to teach English at the ILA training center in Phu Nuan district on Phan Xich Long Street.  Is it generally a safe area?  I will be having to leave at night sometimes.  Should this be a problem or no?  Any recommendations for neighborhoods to live around there?

Yes, it is a very safe and also nice area. There are also lots of nice houses, apartments and rooms in that area. The only downside is the traffic during rush hours but you can navigate around the main roads and avoid traffic jams once you're familiar with the area.

It is generally safe and nice, I live and love it here. There are not so many foreigners live here like D1, D2, or D7 - but you can always go to downtown easily as it's not too far from there. Good luck with your new job & house! :)
