Yongdu-dong Rent Prices in Seoul 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At a median of ₩24500/m² monthly, you are paying for the convenience of the inner city circle without any of the polish found in Seongsu or Jamsil. This area lands squarely in THE_GRID because it’s a predictable, utilitarian rental market that lacks a distinct cultural identity. The investment outlook is tied entirely to the massive redevelopment happening next door in Cheongnyangni, so don't expect a sudden spike in local charm or value anytime soon.
The Vibe:Yongdu-dong is a gritty, functional transit hub where the heavy scent of the nearby Majang Meat Market occasionally drifts in on humid days. Life here revolves around the Line 2 spur and the massive Homeplus, serving a crowd of office workers who prioritize a 20-minute commute over aesthetic cafes. It's a landscape of aging low-rise villas interrupted by a few modern officetels and constant delivery scooter traffic.
The median rent price in Yongdu-dong, Seoul is ₩24,500 per m² per month, 45% below the Seoul city average of ₩44750/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of February 2026.

Locals Ask
Does the neighborhood smell like the meat market?
Occasionally, yes; if the wind blows east from Majang, you'll know exactly what's for dinner, but the Cheonggyecheon breeze usually clears it out.
How do the m² stats compare for newer officetels?
Anything built in the last three years near the district office will push you toward the ₩32000/m² ceiling quickly.
Is parking a disaster in the villa zones?
It is a war zone; unless you have a designated spot in a newer building, expect to spend 20 minutes circling tight alleys every night.
Is the rent actually cheaper than Sinseol-dong?
Marginally, though the average rent stays suppressed mainly because of the older housing stock that hasn't been renovated since the 90s.
Where is the best place to eat without the pretense?
Skip the main roads and hit the back alleys near the station for ₩8000 gukbap that beats anything in a mall.
