Creating an Eco-Friendly Residential Environment with Premium Landscaping Including Romantic Garden, Kids Plaza, Healing Plaza, and Walking Trails
Expected High Interest in '8-Year Jeonse Private Rental Apartments' with Reduced Regulations and Lower Tenant Burden
Eco-friendly apartments that allow residents to enjoy a green lifestyle are gaining attention in the housing market. The rise of fine dust as a social issue and the establishment of a lifestyle that enjoys leisure in nature such as parks and forests are analyzed to be factors increasing the popularity of eco-friendly apartments.
In fact, the top priority for homebuyers in today's housing market is a pleasant living environment. According to a future housing trend survey conducted by the Korea Housing Industry Research Institute, 35% of respondents selected "comfort provided by nature" as the most important factor when choosing a residence. This figure surpasses the 24% who chose convenience of transportation, which ranked second.
An industry insider said, "Eco-friendly apartments with a pleasant environment are highly popular as they align with the current housing trend that prioritizes improving quality of life," adding, "With ongoing development, green spaces such as parks and forests are expected to become increasingly scarce and valuable, so the popularity of eco-friendly apartments is also expected to rise."
Meanwhile, in Iksan-si, Jeollabuk-do, an apartment maximizing eco-friendly living conditions through various premium landscaping designs is drawing attention. The protagonist is ‘Iksan Songhak-dong Crecium Castle,’ an 8-year private rental apartment introduced by Horim Housing Co., Ltd.
Iksan Songhak-dong Crecium Castle is being developed on lot 336 in Songhak-dong, Iksan-si, Jeollabuk-do, consisting of 4 buildings from 2 basement floors to 27 floors above ground, with a total of 294 households. All units are composed of a highly preferred single exclusive area of 84㎡. The number of units by type is ▲84㎡A 226 units ▲84㎡B 68 units.
The complex first creates a car-free eco-community by fully undergrounding the parking lot. In its place, premium landscaping facilities such as walking paths, a central plaza, a romantic garden, a kids’ plaza, a healing plaza, a residents’ rest area, and a children's playground are arranged. Through this, the plan is to create an eco-friendly apartment harmonized with nature to maximize residents' residential comfort.
A Horim Housing Co., Ltd. official said, "To meet the needs of buyers who want a pleasant living environment, we have introduced diverse landscaping designs never seen before in the region," adding, "In addition, the complex offers various specialized designs and free benefits to enhance residents' living convenience, so we ask for much interest."
In fact, the complex is notable for providing top-tier specialized designs and even greater free benefits that can completely change the relatively poor residential conditions typically associated with private rental apartments.
First, the complex layout is mainly south-facing and applies a 4Bay slab-type structure to increase lighting and ventilation. Also, designs such as an alpha room, master bedroom dressing room, and pantry in the entrance and kitchen maximize storage space and space utilization. Various smart systems are also provided free of charge. Two system ceiling-type air conditioners (living room, master bedroom), a hybrid cooktop, a HEPA filter air purification system, and Samsung IoT systems are all applied without additional costs.
Meanwhile, Iksan Songhak-dong Crecium Castle is developed as an 8-year private rental apartment, making it free from various regulations and reducing financial burdens for buyers, thus attracting much interest.
First, stable housing is possible for 8 years without monthly rent, and after 8 years, tenants can choose to convert to ownership. Anyone aged 19 or older can apply and sign a contract without strict conditions such as having a subscription savings account, income level, or homeownership status. Additionally, there are no real estate-related tax burdens such as capital gains tax, acquisition tax, or property tax. Furthermore, the increase rate of the deposit is limited, and since there are no resale restrictions, transfer or resale is possible.
In particular, this complex is guaranteed by the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG), ensuring 100% complete protection of the contract holder's assets, which is highly regarded for its reliability and stability.
With excellent living conditions and reduced buyer burdens, the model house for Iksan Songhak-dong Crecium Castle is located at 696-5 Dongsan-dong, Iksan-si. The model house is scheduled to open in June.
