Was ist Villa (빌라 / 연립·다세대)?

A 'villa' (빌라) in Korea is not a luxury home but a low-rise multi-unit building (typically under five storeys), legally a 연립주택 or 다세대주택. Villas are cheaper than apartments and common in older or denser neighbourhoods.

Villas offer more space for the money than apartments or officetels, but they have shallower resale markets and fewer shared amenities, and some carry higher deposit risk — so the title and deposit checks matter even more.
