What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Seoul?

We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Seoul is like. They answered...

"Expat homes and apartments in Seoul are typically modern and well-equipped. Most have air conditioning, high-speed internet, and modern appliances. Many expat homes and apartments also have balconies or terraces with views of the city. Expats can also find homes and apartments with amenities such as gyms, pools, and saunas. Expat homes and apartments in Seoul are typically located in the city center, close to public transportation, shopping, and entertainment," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Seoul, Korea.

"I have a 13 pyoung (285 sq ft) place, but about 100 sq ft of it is balcony so the living space is a little cozy...no matter, the place is new, it's high enough and has enough windows to have a TON of sunlight streaming in (assuming I wash the windows) and there are cameras all over the halls just in case. Most expats live in Itaewon or at a serviced suite, but I prefer the closeness of my place to work and have no real problems getting things done in Korean (meaning I get my co-workers to do a lot of translating for me)," commented one expat who made the move to Seoul, Korea.
