Dong-guRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Smart Money"
With a median price of ₩9600/m², this area is a clear SMART_MONEY play for renters who prioritize logistics over prestige. You are avoiding the 'Suseong-gu tax' while still accessing the city's best retail at Shinsegae. The investment outlook remains tied to the long-term relocation of the military base, but for now, it’s a high-value entry point for anyone focused on utility.
The Vibe:Dong-gu is defined by the heavy rumble of K-2 jet engines and the constant flow of travelers through the Dongdaegu KTX station. It’s a pragmatic district where aging low-rise villas sit right next to massive, modern transit-oriented developments. You live here because you need to get to Seoul in two hours or work near the airport, not for quiet residential aesthetics.

Why are m² stats higher near the station?
You’re paying a premium for the Line 1 subway and KTX access, which pushes the average rent toward the ₩12500/m² ceiling.

What’s the cheapest part of the district?
The areas further east toward Ansim offer the ₩7800/m² floor, but your commute into central Daegu will suffer.
