Housing Types  
   
Apartment (Flat)  
Apartments are the most popular housing option among Koreans. As urban development and cost of living have skyrocketed over the years, most Koreans have taken up apartments as their residential option of choice. Apartments are also preferred by most residents of Korea due to convenience. Nearly all complexes have facilities nearby such as a supermarket, district office, post office, schools and easy access to public transportation. Basic utilities such as water, gas and heating are well-established. Drawbacks to living in apartments include lack of privacy and distracting levels of noise.
   
Price Range  

(Prices vary depending on location and the quality of the apartment complex.)
The official unit of area for housing or office spaces in Korea is the square meter(m2). But customarily, the unit 'pyeong' is still used as well. One 'pyeong' is equivalent to approximately 3.3 square meters. An average small-sized apartment is approximately 81 square meter(m2) and the purchasing price ranges from US$165,500~250,000. Depending on locations some apartments of the same size (81 m2) can cost US$ 350,000~500,000. Mid-sized apartments measuring 119m2 average US$ 900,000 ~ 1.1 million Large-sized apartments measuring 168m2 will set you back US$1.3 ~ 1.6million.

When choosing to live in an apartment complex you must consider some inconvenient factors.
First of all, the units are somewhat smaller than what one might be accustomed to abroad. Since the units are tightly-packed into each complex, lack of privacy is a concern. Looking for a parking space after work can be daunting as most complexes do not designate parking spots to each unit.



   
Officetel  
Officetels are high rise buildings with both residential and office units available and are quite popular with single working-class Seoulites and students. The preferred short-term housing solution of most, contracts range from a year to two years. Officetels were introduced with the purpose of providing the ultimate convenience by providing office space within a residential building for the working class. If you don't plan on staying in Korea on a long-term basis, officetels are convenient since they come fully furnished. Officetel tenants are responsible for the monthly maintenance fee and additional utilities fee.
   
Detached House  
As a stand-alone structure on its own lot, these houses are usually two stories high and include a garden or a yard. Residential houses are becoming harder to find in urban settings in Korea. These houses are easier to locate in old Seoul, north of the river. Private houses for foreigners can be commonly seen in Itaewon, Ichon-dong and Pyeongchang-dong.
   
Hanok  
Hanok or traditional Korean homes can be seen in the old part of Seoul or more specifically north of the Han River. Bukchon Hanok Village is one area with well preserved traditional homes. Traditional Korean homes were constructed in relation to the surroundings. Proper positioning of the house in relation to its surroundings was considered very important. The interior of the house was planned just as carefully.The ondol or heated floors kept the house warm during the frigid cold winter months while the wide front porch kept it cool during the scorching hot summer months.
It is interesting to note many remodeled traditional homes are appearing in the city. These remodeled homes have various modern amenities to go along with the beauty of traditional architecture.
