A generation ago, Seongsu was a quarter of warehouses and shoemakers. Today, those same red-brick buildings hold the city's most loved roasters, ateliers and flagship stores — their character preserved, not erased.
That quiet transformation has made Seongsu one of Seoul's most sought-after — and most expensive — places to live, drawing makers and dreamers to its riverside streets.
To stay here is to be at the center of it all: the galleries, the green of Seoul Forest, and a dining scene that rivals any in the city. We've gathered only the places worth your time.
