- Continued subscription success in Godeok International New City since 2020
- Administrative town and large-scale corporate investment expected to create jobs
In recent years, promising residential areas in the Seoul metropolitan area, whose housing value has been verified through successful pre-sales, are attracting attention.
Among them, Pyeongtaek Godeok International New City stands out. According to the Korea Real Estate Board's Subscription Home, all nine apartment complexes pre-sold in Godeok International New City from 2020 to September this year have successfully attracted subscriptions. This contrasts sharply with the fact that more than half of the apartments pre-sold in the entire Pyeongtaek area during the same period failed to close subscriptions.
Godeok International New City offers pleasant living conditions due to systematic land development. Additionally, an administrative town composed of various public institutions, including Pyeongtaek City Hall, is planned, and investments from large corporations continue. This is expected to create numerous jobs, significantly influencing housing price increases based on abundant housing demand. Along with this, various living infrastructures such as commercial, cultural, and educational facilities are being established, so the residential value is expected to rise further in the future.
Real estate experts say, “Godeok International New City attracts homebuyers’ interest due to its excellent living conditions and the differentiated advantage of being subject to the pre-sale price ceiling system,” adding, “Especially, unlike other areas, the fact that nationwide subscription is possible from the first priority is also considered a unique attraction of Godeok International New City.”
With such verified residential value, new pre-sales in Godeok International New City are becoming a hot topic. ‘Godeok International New City Miraedo Familier’ is the protagonist, scheduled for pre-sale in November.
‘Godeok International New City Miraedo Familier’ is located in Godeok-dong, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do, consisting of 10 buildings ranging from 2 basement floors to 23 floors above ground, with a total of 642 households of 84㎡ and 99㎡ units. It is scheduled for move-in in September 2025, offering the advantage of quick occupancy.
‘Godeok International New City Miraedo Familier’ boasts excellent infrastructure. First, it is adjacent to commercial land equipped with convenience facilities such as clinics and hospitals. In addition, large distribution facilities like Homeplus and Costco (planned), as well as cultural and administrative infrastructures such as Pyeongtaek Art Center (planned) and Pyeongtaek New City Hall Administrative Town (planned), are nearby. Furthermore, abundant green spaces such as Saesol Neighborhood Park, Godeok Waterfront Park No. 5, Hambaksan Central Park, and Baramsan are provided near the complex, allowing for a pleasant residential life.
The differentiated educational environment also draws attention. ‘Godeok International New City Miraedo Familier’ is within walking distance of Edu Town. Godeok International New City Edu Town is an education-specialized zone planned to attract high-quality educational institutions, including international schools, and multiple elementary, middle, and high schools will be established. Notably, the site for the planned elementary, middle, and high schools is right next to ‘Godeok International New City Miraedo Familier.’ Additionally, various education-related facilities such as an international school (planned), academy district (planned), and library (planned) are nearby.
The convenient transportation environment is also notable. ‘Godeok International New City Miraedo Familier’ is located near Seojeong-ri Station and Pyeongtaek Jije Station on Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1. Especially, Pyeongtaek Jije Station currently operates the SRT, and extensions of the Suwon-origin KTX and GTX-A and C lines are being pursued. Through this, Pyeongtaek Jije Station is expected to emerge as a major hub in the metropolitan area’s wide-area transportation network.
Travel by car is also easy. ‘Godeok International New City Miraedo Familier’ is close to Pyeongtaek Godeok IC, facilitating easy access to the Pyeongtaek-Jecheon Expressway. This allows convenient travel to various parts of the metropolitan area via major expressways such as the Gyeongbu Expressway and Seohaean Expressway. Additionally, a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) stop circulating Godeok International New City is planned near the complex.
High future value is also expected. Godeok International New City houses the world’s largest semiconductor production base, the ‘Samsung Semiconductor Pyeongtaek Campus.’ In particular, a knowledge-based advanced industrial cluster, ‘Godeok R&D Technovalley,’ closely linked with Samsung Semiconductor, is planned to be established nearby. Along with this, the nearby ‘Pyeongtaek Brain City,’ a knowledge-based advanced complex industrial complex, is also under development.
The specialized design stands out as well. ‘Godeok International New City Miraedo Familier’ mainly consists of medium to large-sized units preferred by actual users. Additionally, the complex layout is primarily south-facing for all households, maximizing natural light and openness. The complex will also include various community facilities such as a central plaza, daycare center, fitness center, senior citizens’ center, and golf practice range, which are expected to provide high satisfaction for residents.
Reasonable pre-sale prices are also considered a strength. Godeok International New City is a public land development district subject to the pre-sale price ceiling system. The pre-sale prices are expected to be competitively set compared to surrounding apartment market prices, significantly reducing the financial burden for homebuyers.
‘Godeok International New City Miraedo Familier’ allows nationwide subscription from the first priority. Anyone aged 19 or older who owns a subscription savings account can apply, and 50% of all households will be supplied to residents nationwide.
Meanwhile, the model house for ‘Godeok International New City Miraedo Familier’ is planned to be established in Segyo-dong, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do.
