I've been living here for almost 2 years now and like it. There are quite a few foreigners living in the area.
It is mainly a villa neighbourhood so not many apartments. Which is good in my books. Very down to earth area with lots of street vendors and cheap supermarkets.
There is a Lotteria, 3 Dunkin Donuts, Popeyes, Starbucks, Vips, Outback, Krispy Kreme around the station.
Isu Station is just 10-15 min walk away and you will find a movie theater, a newly opened E-mart and a department store there.
The area is mostly flat so no uphill climbing.
Easy to get anywhere in the city thanks to the 2 subway lines here. Itaewon is 30 min away from my door and Gangnam is 20.

Umyeongsan and Gwanaksan are at your doorstep. Wonderful hiking if you are into that (or running). It's about 3+ hours return to the temple up top and a great way to "get away".

Head out into Gyeonggido - it's easy. Probably the best thing about Sadang is that you have a plethora of bus options to anywhere south of Seoul. It's just a continual stream of buses dropping off and going out...

Just ask around about mudslides though.... Smile

You're also within walking distance of SNU, which has a good selection of restaurants and some bars, and very close to Kangnam.
