What You Really Need to Know for Housing in Korea as Foreigner

👋 Where to Start Your Life in Korea?

Looking for housing in Korea as a foreigner?
It can feel like solving a puzzle with missing pieces; contracts, agents, deposits, and websites that don’t speak your language.

“All I wanted was a place to live in Korea that didn’t require a Korean phone number or a year-long lease. Something simple, move-in ready, and a bit social”.

That’s when I found Enkoplex, a foreigner-friendly housing option in Seoul.
