Does anyone here live in Sujeong? I am considering a job offer there, but the internet has provided no information for me. I'm wondering what the area is like and if it is a decent place to live and work.

Any help would be very appreciated

It's the northern district of Seongnam. Look on Google maps if you'd like to know where it is. It's surrounded by the line 8 subway and the Bundang line. Bundang is the southern district of Seongnam, and most foreigners have a chubby for Bundang, so you'd be close to Bundang, and you'd be close to Songpa/Seoul.

It's an older area compared to Bundang, but it's decent. Not a lot of express buses in the area (AFAIK), and line 8 is a fairly useless line (IMO), but still... It's going to be close to Seoul, quieter than a lot of places, but still a bustling city. If you want to do more research on it, search for information along subway line 8 between Bokjeong Station (Bundang and line 8 meet) and Moran station (bundang and line 8 meet, line 8 terminus). Plenty of info out there. Namhansanseong is another thing to search for - its a big mountain fortress on the north east edge of the district.
