Is this an interesting area to live? Mangmi-dong, Suyeong-gu, Busan

Actually the area is Yeonje-gu, but close to Mangmi. My mistake.

If you are not far up a hill then it's a pretty convenient place to live, not to far from the popular beaches, the various nightlife districts.

Check out this.

Right on the subway line.

Pretty residential.

Could be up on a hill which makes for a healthy walk each day.

Its not far from the interesting areas.

Thanks. It looks like it is kind of bottlenecked between the hills, so I am hoping the school and apartment are down in the valley and not up on top of the hill. They said 15 minutes to Mangmi station. but I am just going to assume it takes 25 minutes to walk their to be on the safe side.

Everything is bottlenecked between the hills here. I agree with the suggestion of Mangmi though. Nice area. Jeonpo-dong is also not too bad.

I figured an approximate location using some photos from the apartment. I believe it is somewhere inside the red square. 10 minute walk? I doubt it. Even a 20 minute walk wouldn't be bad. Unfortunately looks like there might be a slight incline.

bbud...Korea is an incline... Laughing

All jokes aside this is a decent location in Busan. Mangmi subway station is 10 minutes from Somyeon, 10-15 minutes from Haeundae, 5 minutes from Centum city (big Homeplus there).

Mangmi-Suyeong has a lot of nice open air markets too.

If you want more details pm me, I know that area like the back of my hand.
