 |
|
I am moving and looking for a new place; found an officetel 1 minute...ONE MINUTE...from Suwon Station. My question is, how big is 13 pyeong? Livable or sardine-style? The pictures don't look bad, but it could be deceiving.
Thanks for the help. |

Thanks, can anyone give me a size estimate? Big, mediocre, small?
I'm not too great at geometry...algebra was always my thing. |

| It's small but do-able. Would be alright if it's one of those loft style places. |

42 squared meters would be a bit of a shoebox...
That room would be something like 21 feet x 18 feet (approx)
Though compare it to my shoebox, which is 21 feet x 10 or so feet... lol |

Though someone check my math for me...
42 meters square = 7 meters x 6 meters...
approx 3 feet to the meter (give or take)...
So 21 feet x 18 feet... Right? lol... |

measure your place now and see how it compares.
personally, 13 pyeong would be big enough for me. i imagine my place now is in the 10-12 range. |

| It depends on how the building owner or real estate broker is counting it. Sometimes they will count the stairwell, lobby, and parking as part of it. It's best to see for yourself. From my experience, it's pretty arbitrary. |

it's usually far more arbitrary with larger amounts, they're usually not short changing on something that small.
It's the cheap place that supposedly has 150-200 square meters of space where you see the arbitrary measurements. |

You'd be best to find out if it's really an officetel or a villa.
The reason is, if it's an officetel, they usually allot a part of the hallway and any parking spot to be part of the total pyeongage.
Apartment ads on the internet usually list pyeongage (면적) and 'actual pyeongage' (전융면적), meaning the actual size of just the apartment. The two sizes could vary as much as 50%. There is no standard for the variation and vary from building to building, so you have to ask about the specific building you're moving in to.
By the way, if you need a pyeong to square metres calculator, there is one here:
