How do I find a place to live in Yeosu?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Yeosu involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small studio apartment to a larger family home. Next, you should research different neighborhoods in Yeosu to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Consider factors such as proximity to work or school, access to public transportation, safety, and the availability of amenities such as shops, restaurants, and parks. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rental properties in Yeosu, such as Zigbang, Naver Real Estate, and DaBang. These websites are in Korean, so you may need to use a translation tool or get help from a Korean-speaking friend or colleague. You can also hire a real estate agent to help you find a place. This can be particularly helpful if you're not fluent in Korean, as the agent can communicate with landlords and handle paperwork on your behalf. You can find real estate agencies in Yeosu through an online search or by asking for recommendations from locals or expat communities. Once you've found a place you're interested in, you'll need to arrange a viewing. This is your chance to check the condition of the property, ask questions about things like utilities and maintenance, and negotiate the terms of the lease. Finally, if you decide to rent the property, you'll need to sign a lease agreement and pay a deposit. The lease will typically be in Korean, so make sure you understand all the terms before signing. You may also need to provide some form of identification, such as a passport or alien registration card. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so start your search well in advance of when you plan to move," explained one person living in Yeosu, Korea.
