It is home to about 630,000 people with a fairly large amount of Westerners in the area. This is due to the wealthy districts being home to many hagwons (private language academies).

Transportation options include easy access to buses, a subway, fast trains via KTX, and highways reaching Seoul and other parts of the country. The Seoul Subway Line 1 and Line 4 connect Anyang to Seoul. Depending on where you want to go in Seoul, the travel time can be anywhere from 30-60 minutes of travel. Anyang provides easy access to Korean and foreign clothing brands and stores, banks, restaurants, markets, entertainment, English-speaking hospitals, hostels, and Korea’s well-known themed motels to meet your living needs. The cost of living is lower compared to larger cities, so people can comfortably live on about 700,000-1,000,000 won a month. Anyang is an ideal city to work in if you want to save money without having to live on an overly tight budget. Anyang has a typical Korean climate of the four seasons.
