Seorae Village, also known as the “French Village” of Seoul, is one of the most established residential areas for expatriates and international families.
Located in Banpo-dong and Bangbae-dong in Seocho-gu, the area has developed into a well-known international community, particularly among families connected to the French School of Seoul.
Seorae Village is widely considered one of the most suitable areas for families relocating to Seoul due to its balance of community, education, and residential comfort.
Ideal for International Families
Seorae Village is one of the most preferred locations for families due to its proximity to international schools.
- Lycée Français de Séoul (French School) – within walking distance
- Dulwich College Seoul (British international school) – short driving distance
Many families choose this area for long-term stays, especially those seeking a European-style education environment.
International Community
While Seorae Village is known for its French community, it is not limited to French residents.
Many international residents from various countries choose this area for its strong foreign community, lifestyle, and overall living environment.
Even single professionals without children often prefer Seorae Village due to its international atmosphere and comfortable surroundings.
