- Apartments with International Schools Gain Popularity in Real Estate Market...Noted for Value Beyond School Districts
- 'Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 3rd Centum' Attracts Attention as Central Location in Godeok New Town Edu Town
In the housing market, complexes with excellent school districts continue to enjoy popularity. There is steady interest and demand from parents with school-age children, and complexes with good school districts often lead to successful sales results.
In fact, interest in school district complexes remains consistent. Parents have a strong desire to provide their children with safe commuting and excellent educational environments. Recently, in the global era, the need for international education, including English, has emerged, leading to complexes that include international schools gaining attention in the housing market.
International schools offer higher-level foreign language education compared to general high schools and provide the opportunity to complete international diploma programs. Additionally, due to the difficulties of studying abroad caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, these schools have become an increasingly popular option to enhance the quality of English education.
The popularity of complexes with not only excellent school districts but also international school locations can be confirmed by actual housing market results. Last year, ‘Songdo The Sharp Prime View,’ launched in Songdo International City, attracted attention for its excellent educational environment, being located near Chadwick International School and the Science and Arts Gifted School, reinforcing the image of an international city. As a result, it closed with a high subscription competition rate of 115.37 to 1.
In July this year, ‘Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 2nd edu,’ launched in Pyeongtaek Godeok International New Town, also successfully completed sales with a first-priority subscription competition rate of up to 69.92 to 1 in the Edu Town where an international school is planned.
An industry insider said, “Since the announcement last November of measures to resolve the hierarchy in high schools and strengthen the capabilities of general high schools, international schools have emerged as an alternative to autonomous private high schools and specialized high schools,” adding, “The desire and interest of parents to provide excellent educational environments are factors driving the popularity of complexes that include international schools.”
Meanwhile, an apartment near the planned international school in Pyeongtaek Godeok New Town is attracting attention. Jeil Construction Co., Ltd. is launching ‘Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 3rd Centum’ this month at Block A42 in Godeok New Town. The complex consists of 9 buildings, ranging from one basement floor to a maximum of 32 floors above ground, with a total of 820 units sized between 75 and 84 square meters. Notably, it offers only small to medium-sized units under 84 square meters, which are preferred by buyers.
Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 3rd Centum is located at the center of Edu Town, where the only specialized high school and an international school are planned within Godeok New Town, leading to continuous inquiries from parents interested in their children's education, according to sales officials. Like the previously sold 2nd phase (Block A41), an elementary school (planned) will be nearby, and kindergartens as well as elementary, middle, and high schools will be established around the complex.
This complex also boasts an excellent residential environment. The Pyeongtaek Arts Center, the largest performance hall in southern Gyeonggi Province, along with libraries and museums, are planned near the complex, providing easy access to cultural life. Additionally, commercial sites are located around Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 3rd Centum, and once commercial facilities are established, residents will enjoy even more convenient living. Moreover, a neighborhood park of approximately 670,000 square meters (20,000 pyeong) called Hambaksan will be developed behind the complex, allowing residents to enjoy a pleasant natural environment.
Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 3rd Centum also holds major future value due to large-scale development projects. The Samsung Electronics Pyeongtaek Campus, the world's largest semiconductor production plant, is located not far from the complex. Especially after Samsung Electronics announced its ‘System Semiconductor Vision 2030’ last year, it plans to invest 15 trillion won to establish an additional foundry plant. The establishment of the foundry plant is expected to create 15,000 new specialized jobs and attract related companies, increasing demand further. Furthermore, residents can enjoy proximity to the large-scale advanced industrial complex Pyeongtaek Brain City (planned) and the administrative town (planned) within Godeok New Town, enhancing future value and the premium of living close to workplaces.
The transportation conditions of Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 3rd Centum are also excellent. A BRT station (planned) circulating Godeok New Town is located right in front of the complex, making commuting to nearby industrial complexes such as Samsung Electronics Pyeongtaek Campus and R&D Techno Valley (planned) convenient. Additionally, SRT Jije Station and Subway Line 1 Seojeong-ri Station are nearby, and using National Route 1 and the Gyeongbu Expressway allows easy access not only to nearby areas but also to wider regions.
A sales official said, “The 2nd phase, which was launched earlier, successfully completed sales due to high interest from many people because it is located near the international school,” adding, “Since Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 3rd Centum is also located close to the international school, inquiries from parents continue, so those interested should hurry to check it out.”
Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 3rd Centum opened its cyber model house on the 4th (Friday). The cyber model house, accessible through the Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 3rd Centum website, plans to provide information at the same level as visiting the model house by offering VR videos and unit introduction videos implemented with the same structure as the actual sample houses.
The sample house for Godeok New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae 3rd Centum is located at 623-4, Jukbaek-dong, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do.
Meanwhile, Jeil Construction Co., Ltd. plans to launch ‘Paju Unjeong New Town Jeil Punggyeongchae’ in Block A5 of District 3 in Unjeong New Town, Paju City, in September, and is also currently selling ‘Wonju Innovation City Jeil Punggyeongchae Centum Foret’ among others.
