Don't think of the apartments here as being the same as in the states. In the states you go to the apartments and talk to a leasing agent and select an apartment. Here it is more like shopping for a condo. You will actually pay your rent to the realtor.
The housing office has a list of approved realtors for you to select from. Don't settle for just one realtor. The realtors can only show you the apartments they represent. So in order to see a variety choose a couple of realtors.
The things we take for granted in the states are not standard in Korean apartments. You are going to want to look for the following things:
1. Is there A/C?
2. Is the kitchen water filtered or do they supply the 10gallon bottles of water?
3. Does it have closets?
4. Does it have a stove or a cook plate?
5. Does it have an oven?
6. Does it come with a washer/dryer?
7. Ask what is included in the rent.
8. Is Internet included in rent? (It should be)
9. Is the refrigerator included?
