Gwangju Upscale Neighborhood Brand Large Complex 'Jungang Park Lotte Castle Signature' April Sale

- Newly Transforming Local Affluent Area New Apartments
- From Basement Level 3 to 28 Floors Above Ground, Total 39 Buildings, Exclusive 84~233㎡, Total 2,772 Households

The affluent apartment complexes within the region are undergoing a transformation. Following recent residential trends, the advantages traditionally associated with affluent neighborhoods are being maximized, while previously lacking aspects are being supplemented, resulting in a higher level of completion than before.

Generally, affluent neighborhoods in the area boast excellent residential convenience, equipped with various commercial facilities as well as superior transportation and educational environments. Consequently, most affluent neighborhoods are located in areas with the most development within the region. In other words, they possess optimal conditions for convenient residential living. The only drawback has been the relative difficulty in maintaining a pleasant living environment.

However, recently, affluent apartments have also secured pleasant living environments through large parks and similar amenities. Globally, large parks such as Hyde Park in London, UK, and Central Park in the USA are situated in affluent areas. Domestically, Yongsan Park in Yongsan-gu and Seoul Forest in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, have been established, changing the conditions for affluent neighborhood formation. Additionally, Incheon’s Songdo International City has created a new affluent neighborhood image through its Central Park.

Real estate experts explain, “As the importance of a pleasant living environment has increased as a criterion for residential choice, attention to affluent apartments featuring natural elements is rising. While retaining the advantages of affluent neighborhoods, the preference for new affluent apartments that also address previous shortcomings will continue to grow.”
