"Finding a place to live in Gyeongju involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a small studio apartment to a larger family home. Next, you should research different neighborhoods in Gyeongju to find an area that suits your lifestyle and needs. Consider factors such as proximity to work or school, access to public transportation, and the availability of amenities such as shops, restaurants, and parks. Once you have a clear idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rental properties in Gyeongju, such as Zigbang, Naver Real Estate, and Craigslist Seoul. These websites allow you to filter listings based on your criteria and view photos and details of the properties. Another option is to work with a real estate agent. An agent can help you navigate the local rental market, arrange viewings, and negotiate with landlords. You can find real estate agencies in Gyeongju through an online search or by asking for recommendations from locals or expat communities. Once you've found a property you're interested in, you'll need to arrange a viewing. This is an important step to check the condition of the property and ask any questions you may have. If you decide to proceed with a rental, you'll need to negotiate the terms of the lease and pay a deposit. In Korea, it's common to pay a large deposit (known as "key money") and lower monthly rent. Finally, before moving in, you should ensure that all utilities are set up and that you understand how to pay your bills. You may also need to arrange for internet and TV services if they're not included in your rent. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's a good idea to start your search well in advance of your move to Gyeongju," wrote a member who made the move to Gyeongju, Korea.
