Dong-gu Rent Prices in Ulsan 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
With a median of ₩5254.1/m², Dong-gu sits firmly in THE_GRID territory—it’s functional and predictable, though the wide range shows a massive gap between crumbling villa walk-ups and the newer high-rises near Ilsan Beach. The investment outlook is tied directly to the shipbuilding cycle, so don’t expect a tech-sector surge. You’re paying for proximity to the yard, not for a polished urban experience, and at these prices, the utility is exactly what you'd expect.
The Vibe:This is shipyard territory, dominated by the massive HD Hyundai Heavy Industries footprint and the rougher edges of a port town. You’ll see more blue overalls than suits, and the salt air hits you the second you cross the Asan-ro from the city center. It’s a place where the work whistle still dictates the rhythm of the day, particularly around Bangeojin and Seobu-dong.
The median rent price in Dong-gu, Ulsan is ₩5,254.1 per m² per month, 56% below the Ulsan city average of ₩12000/m². Based on 2 verified rental data points as of June 2026.

Locals Ask
Is it hard to find parking near the Hyundai yards?
It’s a disaster; if your villa doesn't have a designated spot, you'll be fighting shift workers for every inch of curb.
Does the average rent spike near Daewangam Park?
Absolutely, the m² stats for premium views in that pocket easily hit the ₩13000 mark compared to the inland lows.
What's the investment outlook for older apartments in Jeonha-dong?
Mostly stagnant; the neighborhood analysis suggests buyers are pivoting to newer builds, leaving the 90s-era blocks for low-budget renters.
How does the commute to Nam-gu look?
The Ulsan Bridge made it feasible, but the toll and the bottleneck at the end of the bridge will test your patience during rush hour.
Are utilities higher in these older coastal buildings?
Yes, the sea breeze is brutal in winter; expect to pay a premium for heating in those poorly insulated Bangeojin-dong units.
