100% Underground Parking... Popular for Comfort and Safety with Car-Free Complex on Surface
Ilsin Geonyeong Designs Themed Landscaping Instead of Parking Space on Surface at Yeoju Station Humanville
Recently, as the importance of a pleasant living environment and safety has been emphasized, park-style complexes without cars on the ground have been gaining attention.
In complexes without cars on the ground, vehicles go directly to the underground parking lot, significantly reducing noise. Instead of parking spaces on the ground, various green spaces such as central plazas, ecological ponds, themed walking trails, theme parks, and vegetable gardens are created, allowing children to safely enjoy walks and leisure activities. Moreover, with no vehicles, exhaust emissions are reduced, maximizing the comfort of the complex.
Due to these advantages, complexes without cars on the ground and with well-maintained landscaping are popular in the sales market. For example, ‘Yeongtong Lotte Castle L-Class,’ launched on the 27th in Mangpo-dong, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, is known as a complex securing residential stability with a car-free design on the ground, recording an average competition rate of 25.21 to 1 and a highest of 113.62 to 1 in the first priority subscription.
Also, ‘Shin Gwanggyo Jeil Punggyeongchae,’ supplied in July in Yeongdeok-dong, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, attracted attention as a pleasant park-style apartment with a high green ratio of 42% and specialized landscaping facilities instead of ground parking spaces, closing the first priority subscription with an average competition rate of 14.74 to 1 and a highest of 82.5 to 1.
An industry insider said, “In a situation where vehicle safety accidents continuously occur within complexes, complexes without cars on the ground guarantee the safety of young children, so the 30s and 40s generation with children especially prefer them,” adding, “Park-style apartments that create park-like themed landscaping on the ground where parking spaces are removed, allowing residents to comfortably enjoy leisure, rest, and play, are being introduced one after another, capturing the attention of demanders.”
Meanwhile, Ilsin Geonyeong’s ‘Yeoju Station Humanville’ is drawing attention as it opens its model house and begins full-scale sales. Instead of ground parking spaces, park-like themed landscaping is created, and delivery vehicles also enter through the underground parking lot, making it safe for children to run freely within the complex and allowing residents of all ages to relax in a pleasant environment.
Yeoju Station Humanville boasts excellent location and product value. It is an ultra-station area with Yeoju Station on the Gyeonggang Line (Pangyo~Yeoju) only 242 meters away in a straight line, and a central commercial facility is located right in front of the complex, offering even more convenient living. Within the Yeoju station area, a school complex project is planned, including elementary schools, sports centers, libraries, and cultural centers, and the 110-year-old Yeoju Elementary School is about to relocate and reopen within the Yeoju station area district.
Yeoju Station Humanville presents Ilsin Geonyeong’s sensuous and high-quality specialized design. The complex layout is mainly south-facing for all households to maximize lighting and ventilation effects, and wide distances between buildings are designed to prevent invasion of personal privacy. On the ground, parking spaces are removed, and various themed parks such as Gaon Madang, Harang Tteul, Hamchorong Madang, Solsup Nuri, Solarae-gil, and Picnic Garden are planned to provide a safe and pleasant living environment.
For the 59㎡ exclusive area type, a large dressing room and living room pantry provide ample storage space, while the 84㎡A type features a 4-bay, slab-type structure with an alpha room, dressing room, and variable walls (in some units), enabling versatile space utilization.
Advanced IoT systems are introduced, allowing residents to control lighting, gas, and heating remotely via mobile devices, check visitors when away, link with unmanned security systems, and communicate with the security office. Additionally, automatic opening and closing of the main entrance, automatic elevator calls, emergency calls in the underground parking lot, unmanned parcel systems, 2-megapixel CCTV, infrared and motion sensors provide convenience and safety at once. Furthermore, unified light-off switches, solar power generation systems, and thermostats help save energy and management costs.
Yeoju Station Humanville also features special community facilities. These include the ‘Starlight Library’ offering an open and spacious atmosphere, an indoor golf practice range usable regardless of weather, a screen golf course to enjoy the field experience, and a fitness club for residents’ physical training and health improvement. Additionally, residents can relax comfortably in the Ladies’ Lounge and Kids’ Club.
Meanwhile, Yeoju Station Humanville is located in Block 1 of the Yeoju Station area, Gyodong 418-1, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do, consisting of 8 buildings from 2 basement floors to 19 floors above ground, with a total of 640 households ranging from 59 to 84㎡ exclusive area. Specifically, there are 216 households of 59㎡ and 424 households of 84㎡.
The subscription schedule starts with special supply on Wednesday, December 2, followed by first priority applications on Thursday, December 3. Yeoju City, where the complex is located, is a non-regulated area excluded from various real estate measures, so residents aged 19 or older living in Yeoju City, as well as residents of Gyeonggi-do, Seoul, and Incheon who have held a subscription account for more than 12 months and meet the deposit requirements for each housing type, can apply as first priority regardless of household headship or home ownership. Loan regulations are also relatively relaxed.
The announcement of winners is on Thursday, December 10, and the official contract period is from Monday, December 21 to Wednesday, December 23, lasting three days. The down payment is a fixed amount of 5 million KRW (first installment), and 60% of the intermediate payment is an interest-free loan, reducing financial burden. Resale of the pre-sale rights is unlimited after six months.
The Yeoju Station Humanville model house is located at 403-2 Gyodong, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do (in front of Yeoju Station on the Gyeonggang Line), and to prevent the spread of COVID-19, visits and viewings require prior reservation through the sales website. For customers unable to visit, a cyber model house is also operated, where units and specialized designs identical to the actual ones can be checked.
