‘Nonsan I-Park’, Specialized Floor Plan Design Draws Attention

- Type Configuration with Spacious Sense
- Financial Benefits to Reduce Housing Burden

As the 52-hour workweek system becomes established and more consumers prioritize quality of life, complexes applying customized specialized designs are gaining popularity.

Especially since the COVID-19 pandemic increased the amount of time spent at home, specialized designs have evolved beyond simply expanding storage space or balconies to now include personalized designs that reflect the individuality of residents, receiving high praise from consumers.

As a result, consumers are using more subscription savings accounts for medium-to-large apartments rather than small-to-medium ones. The demand for larger spaces that can simultaneously accommodate living, hobbies, leisure, and work is reflected in the usage of subscription savings accounts.

According to Real Estate R114, last year (January to December), the subscription competition rate for medium-to-large apartments with exclusive areas over 85㎡ was 16.93 to 1, significantly surpassing the rates for 60?85㎡ (8.71 to 1) and 60㎡ or less (10.80 to 1).

Not only the interior of housing types but also community facilities are developing to enhance resident satisfaction. In the past, community facilities were limited to playgrounds and senior centers, but with changes in residential trends, facilities such as indoor golf practice ranges, fitness centers, study rooms, as well as sauna cafes & lounges and libraries are now being established.

A real estate official stated, “As time spent at home increases, demand is steadily growing for small-to-medium units with specialized designs that expand usable space, as well as for spacious medium-to-large units. Especially since comfort and practicality of interior spaces have become important factors in choosing apartments, demand is expected to increase further.”

Meanwhile, in Daegyo-dong, Nonsan-si, Chungnam Province, final first-come-first-served unit designation contracts are underway ahead of move-in scheduled for early next year.

The protagonist is ‘Nonsan I-Park,’ the only new apartment moving in within Nonsan-si in 2025. The complex features various specialized designs, boasting a sense of spaciousness in medium-sized units comparable to large units. The complex consists of 7 buildings from 2 basement floors to 24 above-ground floors, with a total of 453 units ranging from 84 to 158㎡ in exclusive area. The number of units by area is △84㎡A 151 units △84㎡B 146 units △84㎡C 82 units △106㎡ 71 units △152㎡PH 2 units △158㎡PH 1 unit.

For the 84㎡ (some units) and 106㎡ units, the layout includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, kitchen, and multipurpose room, designed in a 4Bay plate-type layout that offers excellent lighting and ventilation. The largest bedroom is connected to a bathroom, powder room, and dressing room, enhancing a private space exclusively for couples. The kitchen is designed in a ‘ㄷ’ shape to secure cooking flow, and it is aligned linearly with the living room, facilitating ventilation.

The 152㎡ units feature a large terrace that can be used in various ways such as a private garden, home caf?, or hobby space, while the 157㎡ units strengthen storage with a pantry, multipurpose space, and terrace. There is also a bedroom that can be configured as an independent space.

‘Nonsan I-Park’ is surrounded by four themed natural spaces, making it a distinctive apartment where residents can enjoy a pleasant living environment even in the city. At the center, a spacious multipurpose community plaza will be established. Resident communal facilities include a waterfront relaxation area, integrated playgrounds for children and infants, daycare center, senior center, library, and fitness center.

With move-in scheduled for early next year, various financial benefits are provided to reduce residents’ housing burdens. The sale price of the 84㎡ unit, known as the national standard size, is in the 300 million KRW range. Additionally, a fixed contract payment system (1st/2nd installments) and 60% interest-free intermediate payment (excluding penthouses) are applied. After full payment of the 10% contract deposit, resale of the pre-sale rights is also possible.

The complex is close to KTX Nonsan Station and has convenient access to public transportation with city bus stops and intercity and express bus terminals. Nearby, Seononsan IC and National Routes 4 and 23 allow quick travel to surrounding areas. Within a 10-minute walk, the central commercial district centered around Hwaji Central Market offers easy access to shopping, hospitals, financial institutions, and various convenience facilities. Within a 1 km radius of the complex are various educational facilities including Nolmoe Kindergarten, Dongseong Elementary School, Banwol Elementary School, Nonsan Girls’ Middle School, Saint Paul Girls’ Middle and High School, and Nonsan Technical High School.

The Nonsan Defense Industrial Complex construction is also expected to bring benefits. Scheduled for completion in 2029, the complex is anticipated to generate an economic ripple effect of 231.5 billion KRW and create 1,492 jobs. The resulting population influx and commercial development are expected to significantly influence apartment prices in the area.
