Best Housing Apps in Korea (2026)
Short answer
Finding a place to live in Korea. Our top pick is Zigbang — Apartment and room search for Korea residents.
For longer stays, Koreans find apartments and rooms through dedicated property apps. Zigbang and Dabang list officetels, one-rooms and jeonse/wolse rentals across the country.
Listings are mostly in Korean and leases typically still go through a realtor (budongsan), so these apps are best for browsing before you commit.

How do foreigners find an apartment in Korea?
Zigbang and Dabang are the main rental-listing apps for officetels and one-rooms. Listings are in Korean, and most leases still go through a realtor (budongsan).
What's the difference between jeonse and wolse?
Jeonse is a large lump-sum deposit with little or no monthly rent; wolse is a smaller deposit plus monthly rent. Wolse is more common for foreigners.
