Officetels in Mapo, Seoul
最終更新日: 2026-08-23 · Seoul Homes
Mapo — Hongdae, Sangam, Gongdeok, Mangwon — is Seoul's value officetel market for foreigners who want subway access and a lively neighborhood without Gangnam's price tag. It's a student- and young-professional-heavy district, and the officetel stock reflects that: compact units, wolse-first, and rent that runs meaningfully below the Seoul average.

What a Mapo officetel actually costs
As of 2026-08-24, across officetels currently listed for rent on Seoul Homes in Mapo-gu:
| Typical | |
|---|---|
| Listings | 16 |
| Median monthly rent | ₩1,165,000 |
| Median deposit | ₩7,500,000 |
| Median size | 24.59㎡ (about 7.4 pyeong) |
Sale listings exist here too but are rare — Mapo's officetel supply is overwhelmingly a rental market, not an investment-buy one. If you want to buy an officetel outright, Gangnam and other central districts carry far more for-sale inventory to compare against.
Why the deposit runs higher than the rent alone suggests
Mapo's median deposit (₩7,500,000) is proportionally larger against its rent than Gangnam's — a Mapo landlord more often asks for a bigger deposit in exchange for lower monthly rent, which suits arrivals who can front more capital but want a lighter monthly outgoing. It's negotiable in both directions; ask directly if your situation favors one over the other.
Where in Mapo
Hongdae and Sangam carry the bulk of officetel stock — Hongdae for nightlife and university proximity, Sangam (DMC) for media-company offices and a quieter, newer building stock. Gongdeok and Mangwon sit slightly cheaper again, trading a few minutes' subway ride for lower rent.
Before you sign
- Confirm business vs residential registration — Mapo has a mix of both, and it affects whether you can register your address here.
- Get the maintenance fee in writing, including what it covers — Mapo's older buildings vary widely on this.
- Check the deposit is protected: the owner on the property register (등기부등본) matches who's signing, plus a confirmed date (확정일자) and move-in registration.
