Hi Hterso,

Yongsan, the place where your company located is a nice place to live as center of Seoul but could be expensive depening on your choice.
I believe the company provides the allowance up to the size of your family etc? There are many residences and apartments around there, I am sure you can compare many places.

Hi Hterso!

Not sure I'll be much help, but I thought I'd chime in anyways. Last year I lived in Seoul for a couple months and actually had expat friends who lived in Yongsan (Haebangcheon area) so I'd visit that area often. We often refer to it as the more relaxed side of Itaewon (what Koreans refer to as the "foreigner" neighborhood). Because it's such close proximity to Itaewon, Yongsan has a very foreigner-friendly atmosphere with a large variety of global cuisines/specialty restaurants.  I'm not 100% sure when it comes to pricing, or how it varies throughout the community. But no matter where you decide to settle in Korea, I highly suggest you look for a place closest to a subway station. It will be the most comfortable and safest bet for you. Almost everyone in Korea uses the Subway or Bus System to get around, so to live close to a subway station would be ideal.

Hello thank you so much for sharing your insight and observations of the area. I appreciate your time.
