Buk-gu Rent Prices in Ulsan 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At a median of €8.4/m², Buk-gu is the definition of high-floor, low-rent living. We’ve categorized it as THE_GRID because the district is undergoing a massive shift from old industrial alleys to cookie-cutter apartment blocks that offer modern interiors without the Nam-gu markup. It’s a solid investment outlook for those who value square footage over prestige, provided you don't mind the industrial backdrop.
The Vibe:The landscape is dominated by the massive Hyundai Motor plant and the flight paths of Ulsan Airport. Life here is functional and spread out, trading aesthetic charm for practical proximity to industrial hubs. Commuting is defined by the Donghae Line at Buk-ulsan Station and the wide, truck-heavy roads of the 7-way intersection.
The median rent price in Buk-gu, Ulsan is €8.4 per m² per month, 100% below the Ulsan city average of €12000/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of June 2026.

Locals Ask
Does the airport noise impact the average rent?
Yes, units directly under the Hwa-bong-dong flight path often sit at the lower €6.2/m² end of the spectrum.
Is the investment outlook better in Songjeong or Hyo-mun?
Songjeong is seeing the highest appreciation due to its master-planned layout and newer infrastructure compared to Hyo-mun's industrial age.
How do m² stats here compare to central Ulsan?
You’re getting roughly 25% more space for the same price compared to Nam-gu's business district.
What is the parking situation like in Buk-gu?
The newer high-rises in Songjeong have ample underground space, but the older villas near the Hyundai plant are a nightmare for car owners.
Is Buk-gu viable for people working in the city center?
Only if you have a car or live near the Donghae Line; otherwise, the cross-city bus routes are painfully slow during shift changes.
