Living Near Yongsan Station: A Housing Guide for Expats

Key Rental Locations

26/01/06

Published · Updated

Yongsan Station is the hub of a district that is changing faster than almost anywhere else in Seoul. High-rise apartments now line Hangang-daero, the former US Army garrison is gradually opening as Yongsan Park, and the station itself links the city to the KTX network. For expats who want a modern apartment in Seoul with central access, the Yongsan Station area deserves a close look.

Why Expats Look at Yongsan Station

The area sits between the downtown business district and the Han River, a short drive from both the Itaewon–Hannam expat community and the government and embassy offices around Gwanghwamun. Corporate assignees working in Yongsan’s growing office cluster, including the Amorepacific headquarters near Sinyongsan Station, can often walk to work.

Housing Around Yongsan Station

High-Rise Apartments and Residences

Most rental stock near the station is in newer high-rise apartments and serviced-style residences with parking, security desks and fitness facilities. Upper floors on the Han River side or facing Yongsan Park are the most sought after.

Ichon-dong: Riverside Apartments

Just south-east of the station, Ichon-dong is a long-established riverside apartment neighborhood with a large Japanese community, quiet tree-lined streets and direct access to Ichon Hangang Park. It suits families who prefer a settled residential feel over a new-build tower.

Getting Around

  • Rail: KTX and ITX trains toward the southwest of the country depart from Yongsan Station.
  • Subway: Line 1 and the Gyeongui-Jungang Line stop at Yongsan Station, and Line 4 runs from nearby Sinyongsan Station.
  • By car: the Gangbyeon Expressway along the river and the Hangang and Wonhyo bridges connect quickly to Yeouido and Gangnam.

International Schools Within Reach

Families in the Yongsan Station area commonly look at Yongsan International School of Seoul (YISS) and the Deutsche Schule Seoul International, both in the Hannam area to the east. Check current bus stops with each school before deciding on a building.

Daily Life and Landmarks

National Museum of Korea

The National Museum of Korea, with its lake garden and children’s museum, is next to Ichon-dong and is a favourite weekend destination for families.

Yongsan Park

Sections of the former Yongsan Garrison have opened to the public as the first stage of a planned national park in the heart of the city.

Shopping

HDC I’Park Mall, connected to the station, has a department store, cinema, supermarket and electronics floors.

Who Yongsan Station Suits Best

  • Professionals working in Yongsan, Yeouido or the downtown business district
  • Families who prefer a high-rise apartment with river or park views
  • Residents who travel by KTX regularly
