Due to the frustrations of city life, many people want to live outside the urban area while still enjoying numerous nearby amenities. They desire a leisurely lifestyle in a countryside house harmonized with nature but prefer not to be too far from the city. As a result, townhouses are becoming a popular choice.
Interest is especially high in townhouses located in the Yongin area, which offers excellent accessibility to Seoul. Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, is favored by many buyers due to multiple development benefits such as the extension of Subway Line 3, the GTX-A line, and the construction of the Second Gyeongbu Expressway.
Amid this trend, the ‘Irvine’ townhouse complex, located in Gongse-dong, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi Province, reportedly began its successful sales on the 17th, attracting considerable attention.
Spanning an area of 40,478㎡ with a building coverage ratio of 26% and a floor area ratio of 100%, the ‘Irvine’ townhouse complex consists of 120 units. It stands out not only for its abundant surrounding infrastructure but also for its specialized design that differentiates it from conventional detached houses. The developer is Korea S&D Co., Ltd., a specialized company ranked number one in the domestic market for slope reinforcement.
Irvine is a complex designed with cutting-edge features to provide an excellent residential environment. Constructed with reinforced concrete (RC), it offers superior durability, resistance to rain, wind, and fire, and excellent sound insulation, reducing noise concerns. Eco-friendly finishing materials are used to help prevent atopic dermatitis and respiratory diseases in children. Additionally, all units are primarily south-facing, and the wide 7 to 8-meter spacing between buildings ensures ample natural light and scenic views, enabling a comfortable living experience.
The complex includes a security office and management office as standard, with a gated entrance to block potential risks from outsiders, enhancing safety. A high-quality community space and caf? for leisure and hobbies will also be established. To create an eco-friendly environment, septic tanks have been eliminated, and city gas is supplied, reducing utility costs.
The living conditions around the complex are comparable to those of apartments. Convenience facilities such as Costco, IKEA, Lotte Outlet, and E-Mart are accessible within a 10-minute drive, and Dongtan New Town is also reachable within about 10 minutes, offering great convenience.
Located within walking distance is Gongse Elementary School, providing a safe school zone, and within a 10-minute drive are Hanil Elementary, Nasan Elementary, Bora Elementary/Middle/High Schools, Nagok Elementary/Middle Schools, Jigok Elementary, and Luther University, offering a premium school district ideal for raising children.
The Irvine townhouse complex is near Tapsil Children’s Park, accessible on foot, and within a 10-minute drive to Borasan Mountain and Giheung Lake Park, where residents can enjoy walking and hiking. Additionally, various cultural and leisure facilities such as Everland, Korean Folk Village, and the Children’s Museum are abundant.
Using the newly opened ring road adjacent to the complex, residents can reach Yongin City Hall, Dongbaek Severance Hospital, Dongbaek District, and Yeokbuk District within five minutes, enjoying even richer infrastructure. Proximity to Samsung SDI headquarters, Amorepacific, Renault Samsung, various pharmaceutical companies, and the Dongtan industrial complex also promises strong demand from the surrounding workforce.
Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province has a rich supply of young job seekers due to the presence of large corporations such as Samsung Giheung Industrial Complex and SK Hynix Semiconductor, along with industrial complexes and techno valleys. Especially with its designation as a special city, Yongin has upgraded its financial capacity and administrative services, enhancing the functions of self-sufficient cities like Platform City and Namsa New Town, making it a city with high future development potential.
The transportation network is also highly praised. The Gyeongbu Expressway, Yeongdong Expressway, the planned Second Gyeongbu Expressway, the Second Outer Ring Road, and National Route 57 all provide easy access to Seoul Gangnam, Bundang, and Pangyo. The extension of the Bundang Line connecting Giheung?Gongse?Dongtan?Osan has been finalized in the 4th National Railroad Network Construction Plan, promising additional benefits from the Bundang Line extension.
A sales representative explained, "Irvine Townhouse offers excellent living convenience and transportation conditions, and its competitive pricing compared to countryside houses has led to steady inquiries for site visits."
Meanwhile, the Irvine townhouse is currently operating a promotional center and is selling units on a first-come, first-served basis with advance reservations, starting with the most popular units.
