$550 HUGE KOREAN APARTMENT TOUR | Gyeonggido, Korea

[@rachelheheh]

thank you for joining me for my new apt tour here in Gyeonggido! 💗This place truly feels like a mansion compared to the other apts i've had in Seoul over the years lol thank u jeonse loan system 🙏

If it's not too rude to ask, did you have to prepare a large deposit for the Jeonse loan? ^ ^ It seems like a great system, since the monthly rent amount is so low!

Don't let the rent fool you - usually the deposit is enormous: $15.000 is considered to be on the cheaper end. Of couse, you get it back when you move but you still have to come up with it first.

[@andersnielsen6044]

@@thecollector5243 If you consider $15.000 as "enormous" don't ever move to Denmark ;D Here in Denmark you would never see a penny of your deposit either often you would have to pay a lot more to get out of the apartment. This one here would be at least $3500 pr month x 12 in upfront payment to get the keys. And then you have to pay for everything else like water, electricity, internet, tv, gas etc.

[@imnotsurewhy]

It is Jeonsae. The system where you deposit a huge sum. It is almost like partially buying the house. She said she spent almost $280,000 (USD) so that her monthly rent is $550. The whole thing is probably $400,000 to $500,000

[@latinainluxury6185]

I don’t mind not having a bathtub, but I draw the line at not having a dryer lol. I love placing my blankets in the dryer just so they can be warm.

[@nooramarja]

This particular apartment's jeonse for this type is currently almost 450k USD. She got it for cheap because it's 1) lower floor 2) she was the first tenant and the house owner probably didn't have enough cash so they needed to get a tenant to move in to pay for the house payment. Because there are lots of house owners in need of tenants in newly finished apartment buildings, there are good bargains available. Really lucky find. The current asking selling price for this apartment is around 800k USD.

[@ansley444]

$800,000???

[@HayleyJay]

Giiirl, you’re living the dream. Never felt so tempted to leave Seoul than I am watching this apartment tour 😍 And here I am only 4 months into my studio apartment contract 😅 been watching your apartment tours for years, you’ve been working your way up to this!! Enjoy it~

[@helenafranca99]

i am so shocked at the price, because i've seen people pay 800$ or more in apartments in korea who are really jsut one bedrrom and a really small living room with a kitchen. you are luck to find this place

[@Danny-be1ex]

She favorited another comment where someone mentioned it’s great how much room you can get if you move outside the city so I assume she’s more in the countryside of Korea

[@may7924]

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

It's space vs. location. A lot of people want to live in Seoul, and this person does not live in Seoul.

[@rue_2pm75]

The rent is cheap because the deposit is in the thousands

[@lonnie4827]

She probably put down $20k usd or more. Rent in Korea is directly correlated to deposit. You can even put the full price of the apartment down and be rent free.

[@jerimkang2999]

Congrats on finding a great place outside of Seoul! Before anyone curses out the place where they are at since there is no appt like this there that is affordable, just remember that there are always pros and cons. Folks living in Seoul or NYC, for example, in tiny apts. with huge rent may stick it out there for the cultural and city vibes, a great paying job, and hate long commutes. Living in the outskirts of the city, the suburbs and further out may have jobs allowing the WFH or hybrid scenarios so long commutes may not be an issue. While one may save on rent, a bigger apt may bring up your water and electricity costs. You have more space, you end up buying more stuff to fill in that space.
