| I have a new job starting in about a month in Jongno. I need to find housing but would like to live in a somewhat quiet area but still within a 20 min commute (either by walking/bus or train). As I currently live outside Seoul, can anyone recommend a nice area? I'm thinking I might stay for a while in the hostel/yeogwan area behind Insadong.. |

| 20 minutes from Jongo in any direction will still be in the city. I'm sure there are some quieter places than Jongno itself. You could head north on Line 4 and check out places near Bukhansan or Suraksan (Line 7), but that'll put you over 20 minutes. |

| The 143 bus from Jongno 3-ga to Haebongchon is only about 15 minutes in the mornings and there are plenty of affordable housing options there. Also, Hongdae, Sinchon and Edae should be worthy of consideration as a bus ride from there would range in the 25-30 minute range. The university areas are pricier though. |
