Safe Child Education Complex by Kumho Construction, 'Gangneung Gyodong Kumho Eoullim Olympic Park' Draws Attention

- Within walking distance to elementary and middle schools and near academy districts... Excellent study environment
- Located in Olympic Park with sports facilities in front of the complex... Great for children's physical fitness improvement

In the housing market, school district complexes are known as 'unfailingly popular.' This is interpreted as the demand for educational environments increasing as the 30-40 age group with young children begins to lead the housing market.

School district apartments located near schools offer a safe commuting environment. Additionally, educational facilities such as academies and study rooms are established nearby, creating a good study atmosphere. Regulations prevent harmful facilities like bars and adult entertainment venues from entering the vicinity, making these apartments highly preferred by parents.

Moreover, having a location within a park area is the icing on the cake. Park area locations help alleviate concerns about various environmental issues such as COVID-19 and fine dust, and provide a healthy residential environment where children can play freely. Like school district areas, these locations are also favored by parents.

In fact, according to the Korea Real Estate Board's subscription website, apartments with both school district and park area locations show clear popularity in the subscription market. 'Jeil Punggyeongchae Wonju Musil,' launched in Wonju City, Gangwon Province in July, recorded an average competition rate of 35.08 to 1 in the first priority subscription. It is said that the presence of Solsaem Elementary School right in front of the complex and the proximity to Wonju Central Neighborhood Park were key factors.

In the same month, 'Jungchon SK VIEW,' supplied in Jungchon-dong, Jung-gu, Daejeon, closed with an average competition rate of 22.18 to 1 in the first priority subscription. This complex is within walking distance of elementary, middle, and high schools, and is close to Jungchon Citizen's Park, which features various sports facilities and walking trails along the Yudeungcheon Stream.

An expert said, "As parents in their 30s and 40s with young children have become the core demand group in the housing market, apartments that have both school district and park area locations are gaining popularity. These apartments have abundant demand, making them highly liquid and good products not only for actual use but also for investment."
