"Finding a place to live in Jeju Island 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 apartment to a larger house, depending on your needs and financial situation. Next, you should research different neighborhoods on the island to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some areas may be closer to the beach, while others may be more urban or closer to nature. Once you have a general idea of where you'd like to live, you can start looking for specific listings. There are several online platforms where you can find rental listings, such as Zigbang, Naver Real Estate, and Craigslist Seoul (which also includes listings for Jeju). You can also work with a real estate agent, known as a "budongsan" in Korea. They can help you navigate the local real estate market and handle negotiations with landlords. To find a reliable agent, you can ask for recommendations from locals or expat communities. When you find a place you're interested in, make sure to visit in person before making any commitments. Check the condition of the property, the amenities, and the surrounding area. Finally, once you've found a place you like, you'll need to sign a lease and pay a deposit. In Korea, it's common to pay a large deposit upfront, which is usually refundable at the end of your lease. Make sure to read the lease carefully and ask any questions you may have before signing. Remember, moving to a new place can be challenging, especially in a foreign country. Don't rush the process and take your time to find a place that feels like home," wrote a member who made the move to Jeju Island, Korea.
