Answer this Question

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Daegu, they wrote...

"The cost of living in Daegu is relatively affordable compared to other major cities in South Korea like Seoul or Busan. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is moderately priced, while outside the city center, it is significantly cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage is also reasonable. Groceries in Daegu are quite affordable, with local markets offering fresh produce at lower prices. Eating out at inexpensive restaurants is also quite cheap, while a three-course meal for two people at a mid-range restaurant can be a bit more expensive. Public transportation in Daegu is very affordable, with a one-way ticket on local transport being quite cheap. Taxis start at a reasonable rate, but the cost can add up if used frequently. Healthcare in Daegu is of high quality and is reasonably priced. Both public and private hospitals offer services at affordable rates. Overall, the cost of living in Daegu is lower than in other major South Korean cities, making it an attractive place for both locals and expats," wrote a member who made the move to Daegu, Korea.
