Yeongtong-dongRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median price of ₩23800/m², Yeongtong-dong firmly earns its BOUGIE rating; you’re paying for the proximity to the Digital City campus and the city's best urban planning. While the ₩31500/m² upper limit might induce sticker shock, the investment outlook is ironclad because the tenant pool consists of high-earning engineers who prioritize a five-minute commute over character. It’s not a bargain-hunter's dream, but it is the most stable rental play in Suwon right now.
The Vibe:This is Samsung’s backyard, defined by a grid of high-rises and a relentless concentration of hagwons that keep the sidewalks packed until late. The Suin-Bundang Line at Yeongtong Station dictates the pace here, funneling tech workers and Kyung Hee students through a landscape of heavy concrete and structured commercial blocks. It lacks the grit of old Suwon, trading character for wide roads and the functional efficiency of a planned corporate satellite.

Locals Ask
Is the parking situation actually manageable?
Only if you're in a newer apartment complex; otherwise, the street parking near the commercial core is a localized nightmare.
Why are m² stats so much higher here than in nearby Woncheon-dong?
Yeongtong has superior subway access and a more established commercial ecosystem that keeps the average rent inflated.
What is the typical investment outlook for small officetels?
Extremely high liquidity due to the constant churn of Samsung contractors and Kyung Hee grad students.
Can I find anything at the ₩17200/m² floor near the station?
No, that price point is reserved for aging villa units situated closer to the borders of the neighborhood.
How does the neighborhood analysis change during school breaks?
The 'vibe' remains constant because the Samsung workforce provides year-round demand that offsets the student cycle.
