Last month, the average monthly rent for studio apartments (with a dedicated area of 33㎡ or less) in Seoul was recorded at 730,000 won.
Real estate information platform Dabangg announced on the 26th its July 2025 analysis titled 'July Dabangg Map' on the rent levels of studio apartments in 25 districts of Seoul as of July.
According to the Dabangg Map, as of July 2025, the average monthly rent for studio apartments (with a dedicated area of 33㎡ or less) in Seoul, based on a deposit of 10 million won, was 730,000 won, while the average jeonse deposit was 212.23 million won. This reflects an increase of 53,000 won (7.9%) in average monthly rent compared to the previous month, June, and a decrease of 3.05 million won (1.4%) in average jeonse deposit.
The average monthly rent recorded the largest increase this year (7.9%), with 20 out of 25 districts experiencing higher rents than the previous month. In particular, Mapo District saw a significant jump from 720,000 won last month to 880,000 won in July (22.4%) due to multiple high-priced studio apartments being transacted in the Seogyo-dong area.
By district, Gangnam District had the highest average monthly rent at 940,000 won, which is 210,000 won higher than the Seoul average of 730,000 won. Following were Mapo District at 880,000 won (121%), Yongsan District at 870,000 won (120%), Seocho District at 810,000 won (111%), and Seongdong District at 790,000 won (109%), making the average monthly rent in 7 districts exceed the Seoul average.
The average jeonse deposit was also highest in Gangnam District, rising 3.9% from the previous month to 269.69 million won (127%). Seocho District, which had the highest jeonse deposit for six consecutive months until June, ranked second with 268.4 million won (126%).
Following were Yongsan District at 233.64 million won (110%), Gwangjin District at 231.66 million won (109%), and Jung District at 226.88 million won (107%), where a total of 9 places had an average jeonse deposit higher than the Seoul average.
Dabangg produced the Dabangg Map by calculating the average monthly rent and average jeonse deposit based on a deposit of 10 million won, reflecting the rent conversion rate. The average monthly rent includes transactions with a monthly rent deposit of less than 100 million won, while all jeonse transactions were aggregated for the average jeonse deposit.
