Properties for Sale & Rent in Seocho, Seoul

Living in Seocho

Seocho offers Gangnam-level convenience with more greenery and river frontage. It is served by subway Lines 2, 3, 7 and 9 and the Sinbundang Line, and the Express Bus Terminal links the district to the whole country.

• Banpo — premium riverside apartments (including Acro River Park) overlooking Banpo Hangang Park and the Banpo Bridge rainbow fountain.
• Seorae Village (서래마을) — a quiet, café-lined neighbourhood long associated with Seoul's French community, popular with families who want a village feel near the centre.
• Express Bus Terminal & Banpo-dong — dense with shopping (Shinsegae, the Goto Mall) and well-connected officetels.
• Yangjae & Seocho-dong — corporate headquarters, the Yangjae Citizen's Forest, and family apartments along quieter streets.

Schools and families

Seorae Village is the heart of Seoul's French-speaking community and a long-standing draw for families seeking a European feel close to the city centre. Seocho's transit also puts the international schools of Gangnam and the wider city within easy reach, and its parks — Montmartre Park, Yangjae Citizen's Forest and the Banpo riverside — make it one of the greener places to raise children in central Seoul.

Renting in Seocho as a foreigner

Renting is open to everyone with no permit. Choose between jeonse (전세) — a large, fully refundable lump-sum deposit with no monthly rent — and wolse (월세) — a smaller deposit plus monthly rent. Officetels around the Express Bus Terminal and Gangnam border are the most accessible entry point; family apartments cluster in Banpo and Seorae.

Buying in Seocho as a foreigner (2025 rules)

Since late August 2025, all 25 Seoul districts — Seocho included — are designated Foreign Land Transaction Permit Zones. To buy a home (apartment or house), a foreign buyer must obtain a land-transaction permit from the Seocho-gu office before signing the contract, submit a funding plan, and after approval move in within four months and live in the property for at least two years. This applies regardless of visa status, including ARC holders and F-2 / F-5 residents. Officetels — legally a business-use property type — generally fall outside this residential-permit rule; confirm the position for any specific unit with your realtor. Renting is unaffected.
