Officetels in Gangnam, Seoul
Gangnam is Seoul's most in-demand officetel market — Teheran-ro's office towers on the doorstep, dense subway access on lines 2, 7 and 9, and the deepest bench of English-speaking agents on Seoul Homes. It is also the most expensive: officetel rent here runs well above the Seoul-wide median, and what you're paying for is proximity, not square meterage.

Five listings for sale is a small sample — enough to know Gangnam officetels for sale exist and sit well into the ₩1B+ range, not enough to call ₩1,400,000,000 a stable market price. Treat it as a data point, not a ceiling or floor.
Why Gangnam costs more than the rest of Seoul
The same unit type in Mapo rents for close to a third less. Gangnam's premium is Teheran-ro: the district is Seoul's largest single office-job cluster, so officetel demand here is driven by companies putting staff within walking distance of work, not just individual renters shopping on price. That keeps vacancy low and rent firm even when the broader Seoul rental market softens.
Before you sign or buy
- Confirm business vs residential registration. Some Gangnam officetel stock — especially older Teheran-ro buildings — is registered for business use (업무용) rather than residential (주거용), which affects whether you can complete resident registration at the address.
- Ask what the maintenance fee covers. Gangnam's newer towers carry higher management fees than the Seoul median; get the figure and the included services in writing before comparing two listings on rent alone.
- For a rental, confirm deposit protection — the owner on the property register (등기부등본), a confirmed date (확정일자), and move-in registration.
Every listing here is handled by a Seoul Homes partner agent, and English-speaking agents are marked on each listing.
