Apartment, Now the Era of Checking Community Facilities First: 'Hillstate Cheongju Central 2nd Phase' Draws Attention

Community Facilities Set as Standards for Luxury Apartments, First and Largest Specialized Community Facilities Draw Attention

Demand is gathering in complexes that excel not only in location and future value but also in community facilities. Differentiated community facilities create a luxurious image for apartment complexes and lead to an increase in value.

Last year, a survey conducted by the Korean Gallup Research Institute asked respondents to choose their preferred type of housing from about 10 options. Housing with diverse community facilities accounted for a high proportion at 27%. This figure is 3 percentage points higher than the previous year (24%), indicating a continuous increase in preference for residential complexes with community facilities.

Accordingly, newly built apartment community facilities are becoming increasingly diverse to the extent that most daily life activities can be carried out within the complex. Fitness centers and indoor golf practice ranges, once envied, are now considered basic options. Recently, sky communities, banquet halls, care centers, saunas, and more have been added.
