A penthouse in Seoul is a unit on the top floor of its building — the highest and often most exclusive unit type available, typically with better views and, in many buildings, a private terrace or rooftop access that other floors don't have.
Beyond simply being on the top floor, penthouse units often come with extras that aren't standard elsewhere in the building: a private terrace or rooftop garden, higher ceilings, and sometimes a larger floor plan than the units below. Because they're a limited, single-per-building category, they tend to command a premium over other units in the same building.
Penthouse units cluster in the same prestige districts as the rest of Seoul's luxury apartment market — Gangnam, Seocho and Yongsan/Hannam in particular — though individual penthouse units can appear in buildings anywhere in the city.
Because there's only one (or a small handful) of penthouse units per building, listings turn over less often than standard floors. If nothing matches today, check back or browse the broader luxury apartments page for the wider premium segment.

Penthouse units appear in buildings across the city, but concentrate most in the same prestige districts as Seoul's broader luxury market — Gangnam, Seocho and Yongsan/Hannam.
