In the real estate market, the concept of a ‘smart single property’ is gaining attention. Amid the market’s turmoil, there is a growing trend toward multi-infrastructure accessible apartments within walking distance, which remain strong regardless of boom or bust cycles.
Recent popular apartment complexes confirm the strength of multi-infrastructure accessible apartments. Raemian Forestige (1,104 households · 65,110 people) is located within walking distance of a subway station and close to large shopping areas, mountains and parks, and schools. Hillstate Geomdan Well County (private) (403 households · 37,076 people) also has a planned subway station nearby, as well as sites designated for kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools, and a planned central commercial district. Additionally, Pohang Xi Atherton (960 households · 28,572 people), Jeil Punggyeongchae Geomdan 2nd Phase (921 households · 27,916 people), and The Sharp Songdo Ark Bay (486 households · 24,245 people) are known as multi-infrastructure accessible or soon-to-be multi-infrastructure accessible areas.
Industry experts explain, “Since the new government took office, real estate policies have maintained a trend of easing taxes and loan regulations for single-homeowners, intensifying the preference for ‘smart single properties.’ The rarity and symbolic value of locations that allow convenient access to key local infrastructure will remain regardless of market conditions, and the value of complexes situated in such one-stop locations will steadily increase.”
Among these, the recently known multi-infrastructure accessible regional housing cooperative apartment ‘Seohae Grandble New Urban’ is attracting attention by recruiting members.
Constructed by Seohae General Construction Co., Ltd., ‘Seohae Grandble New Urban’ will be located in Hyo-seong-dong, Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, consisting of five buildings ranging from two basement floors to 29 floors above ground. The exclusive area includes 143 units of the highly preferred 59㎡ and 230 units of 84㎡, totaling 373 households. The ‘Hyo-seong Station (planned) Regional Housing Cooperative Promotion Committee’ (tentative name) obtained the member recruitment registration certificate on May 4, ensuring stability.
Located near Jakjeon Station on Incheon Line 1 and a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) stop, residents can reach downtown Seoul within an hour via Incheon Line 1. Various bus routes and proximity to Bupyeong IC, Seo Incheon IC, Seoun JC, the Metropolitan Area 1st Ring Expressway, Gyeyang-daero, and Bong-o-daero provide convenient access throughout Incheon, Seoul, and the metropolitan area. Furthermore, the complex is close to planned transportation developments such as Seoul Line 2 Hyo-seong Station, GTX-D, and GTX-B lines, promising to become a super-station area in the future.
Within a 1km radius, over 20 elementary, middle, and high schools are concentrated, including Hyo-seong Seo Elementary, Buk Incheon Girls’ Middle, Myeonghyeon Elementary and Middle, Hyo-seong High, and Hyo-seong Dong Elementary. The area offers convenient access to academies near Gyeyang District Office and is close to Gyeongin National University of Education’s Incheon campus. Additionally, nearby natural amenities such as Cheonmasan, Gyeyangsan, Hyo-seong Park, and Yeongsin Park provide a pleasant living environment.
Various shopping and convenience facilities are available, including Eyesville Outlet, Homeplus Jakjeon Branch, E-Mart Gyeyang Branch, Jakjeon Market, Homeplus Gyesan Branch, Lotte Mart Gyeyang Branch, and CGV Gyeyang Branch. Administrative institutions such as Hyo-seong Dong Urban Regeneration Welfare Center, Hyo-seong 119 Safety Center, Gyeyang District Office, and Gyeyang Police Station are nearby, along with medical facilities like Hanmaeum Hospital, Hanlim Hospital, and Incheon Sejong Hospital.
The future value is also high. The Gyeyang Techno Valley development project, a major development initiative in Gyeyang-gu, covers 3,331,714㎡ and is being promoted by Incheon Gyeyang-gu and the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation. Following the completion of Seoun General Industrial Complex, Gyeyang Industrial Complex, and Gyeyang Techno Valley, the surrounding old downtown areas are expected to be revitalized.
The residential spaces are designed with a 4-bay slab-type layout, offering excellent lighting and views, as well as good ventilation. The apartments maximize convenience with spacious storage including living room pantries, entrance closets, large dressing rooms, and U-shaped kitchens, and come fully equipped with appliances and furniture (built-in refrigerator, kimchi refrigerator, built-in induction cooktop (3 burners), dishwasher (for 8 people), kitchen TV, shoe cabinet system, furniture, and bathroom cabinets). Indoor balconies can also be expanded free of charge.
A site official stated, “Apartments that combine excellent location conditions with various development benefits and high future value are rare. Seohae Grandble New Urban meets all these conditions and is available at a reasonable price, so rapid recruitment closure is expected.”
Meanwhile, ‘Seohae Grandble New Urban’ is currently operating a promotional center.
