A officetel is a tiny semi-detached house that allows its residents to work and live in the same location. This reduces commute time. Due to the convenience of being a few blocks away from your workplace many of the people who live in officetel homes are made up of accountants, architects attorneys, doctors and other professionals. Because of the tranquil location, many professionals enjoy visiting Seoul, South Korea's capital. In reality, many foreign investors have been drawn by the low costs of living in Seoul.
