Every year at the start of the new year, people from all over the country flock to Sokcho. With its pristine East Sea and majestic Seoraksan Mountain, Sokcho is regarded as a perfect sunrise spot to make New Year's resolutions, establishing itself as a special destination not only for domestic but also for international tourists.

Vibrant throughout all four seasons, Sokcho is now gaining value not only as a tourist city but also as a residential area, attracting strong interest in the real estate market. With its natural environment and steadily improving transportation and living infrastructure, it is emerging as a region attracting both end-users and investors.

In particular, Sokcho's accessibility to Seoul is expected to improve significantly. The Seoul-Sokcho East-West High-Speed Railway (KTX) and the Donghae Northern Line, scheduled to open in 2027, will greatly expand Sokcho's transportation environment. It is anticipated that travel time from Yongsan, Seoul to Sokcho will be reduced to about 99 minutes.

Thanks to these transportation benefits, Sokcho is also drawing attention in the real estate market. According to the Korea Real Estate Board's apartment sales transaction volume, from January to October last year, Sokcho recorded 933 apartment sales transactions, but this year the number increased by 13% to 1,059. The growing expectations for transportation improvements and the increasing value as a residential area are driving simultaneous growth in both end-user and investment demand.

Amid this, POSCO E&C's ‘The Sharp Sokcho Prime View,’ currently being sold on a first-come, first-served basis in the Geumho-dong area of Sokcho, Gangwon Province, is attracting keen interest. This branded large complex consists of 8 buildings ranging from 4 basement floors to 33 above-ground floors, with a total of 1,024 units featuring exclusive areas of 84?110㎡, 136?180㎡ (duplex), and 142?147㎡ (penthouse).

The apartment complex is part of a private park special project, allowing residents to enjoy a pleasant living environment in daily life. Right in front of the complex is Yeongrang Neighborhood Park, where residents can enjoy a healthy healing lifestyle. The park is designed with distinctive gardens such as Spring Hills, Citizens' Yard, Seorak Hills, and Dreaming Hill. Additionally, walking trails connected to the complex, Yeongrang Lake Park, and Yeongrang Lake Country Club are nearby.

Travel to other areas is also convenient. The Sokcho Intercity Bus Terminal is near the complex, and via National Route 7 and Donghae-daero, residents can easily access Gangneung, Yangyang, Goseong, and other locations. Moreover, the East-West High-Speed Railway (KTX) and Donghae Northern Line will be available, further enhancing future accessibility to Seoul.

The apartment is within walking distance to Gyodong Elementary School and Seorak Middle School, and Sokcho Middle School, Haerang Middle School, Sokcho Girls' High School, and a cluster of academies are located nearby, providing an excellent educational environment for children. Additionally, Sokcho Rodeo, Lighthouse Beach, Sokcho Tourism and Fisheries Market, and E-Mart are also accessible.

Residents can also enjoy the largest community facilities in Sokcho. Various sports spaces such as a fitness center, GX room, Pilates studio, golf practice range, screen golf, and sauna are available, allowing residents to enjoy both health and leisure. Edu lounge, private study rooms, multi-studio, book caf?, and kids' room are also established in the edu-family zone, supporting children's education and family activities. Furthermore, daycare centers, the Together Care Center, senior centers, guest houses, and shared dining facilities are available.

A sales representative explained, “The Sharp Sokcho Prime View successfully completed special and general supply sales, and contracts for some remaining units are being conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. For these contracts, there is no lottery for building or unit number, so buyers can directly select their preferred building and unit, which has led to many inquiries.”
