What to look at on the map

For a tutoring centre, the location factors that matter most are different from a generic retail store. When you scan Seoul on the interactive map, focus on these:

  • 🏫Nearby schools

    Distance from primary / secondary schools = #1 factor.

  • 🏠Residential density (500m)

    Family households (3-4 BR units) within 2km.

  • 🅿️Parking nearby

    Parents drop off + wait → drop-off lane / parking critical.
