Gated Townhomes Enhancing Residential Convenience 'Rapiano Yongin Gongse'

- New Residential Complexes Prioritizing Convenience Gain Popularity in the Sales Market
- Special Offers Draw Attention, Including Deferred Balance Payment and Interest-Free Interim Payments

The recent hot topic in the real estate market is undoubtedly ‘residential convenience.’ This is because the need to stay freely and comfortably in ‘my own space’ has grown beyond the simple function of housing. The reason why residential convenience is considered a key factor in choosing a home is that conflicts among neighbors are intensifying. Noise between floors disrupts daily stability and leads not only to disputes with neighbors but also to the disintegration of communities. Due to the seriousness of this issue, laws have been strengthened to reduce floor noise in public housing by using high-performance cushioning materials in construction standards.

Conflicts related to parking are also severe. According to statistics from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, as of October 2024, the number of registered vehicles in South Korea reached 26,232,569, an increase of about 25% compared to 10 years ago. This means there is approximately one car for every 1.95 people. The problem lies in the fact that most multi-family housing complexes have not secured sufficient parking spaces. According to data from the Apartment Management Information System, the average number of parking spaces per household in apartment complexes nationwide is 1.05, which is far below the number of cars owned per capita.

According to data released in 2024 by the apartment living support platform ‘Apartmenti,’ 29% of resident complaints received over one year were related to parking issues. This highlights that the lack of parking space is a representative source of conflict within apartment complexes. In addition, conflicts among neighbors in multi-family housing are becoming increasingly diverse and severe, including issues such as smoking, water leakage, and management fee usage. Since these are unavoidable daily conflicts, the fatigue and stress inevitably undermine daily stability.

As these conflicts escalate beyond simple disputes to physical confrontations or legal battles, construction companies have recently been supplying products that reflect the opinions of demanders who prioritize residential convenience. These products maintain the advantages of multi-family housing while solving its problems. Gated townhomes, which offer individual living spaces that free residents from floor noise and parking conflicts, and provide security facilities and various community amenities, are highly satisfying residential options. They are emerging as attractive alternatives that allow residents to enjoy urban infrastructure while meeting diverse needs such as independent living spaces, children’s education, life with pets, health, and quality of life.

The place that real demanders are focusing on is undoubtedly ‘Rapiano Yongin Gongse.’ Rapiano is the flagship brand of RBDK, a domestic real estate developer, and is regarded as a ‘top-tier townhouse brand.’ Starting with Gimpo Unyang District in 2017, it has expanded to Paju Unjeong Rapiano, Goyang Samsong Umi Rapiano, Incheon Cheongna Rapiano, and now Yongin Gongse, which is the 10th project. Rapiano is known for providing systematic security facilities and optimal residential environments.

The currently smoothly selling complex is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2025 and is located in the Gongse-dong area of Giheung-gu, Yongin City. It is a private townhome complex consisting of 94 units spread over a total area of 5,383 pyeong, with buildings ranging from two basement floors to three above-ground floors. The interior floor plans are all 84㎡ exclusive area, divided into seven types to offer various choices. Although the exclusive area is 84㎡, there is a large amount of service area?spaces not included in exclusive, supply, or contract areas and thus not included in the sale price?so residents can effectively enjoy a usable area equivalent to a 50 to 60 pyeong apartment.

To reduce fatigue from floor noise and parking difficulties typical of multi-family housing, some unit types feature private elevators, private garages, wide voids in living rooms, and master rooms to provide a premium residential life. It is analyzed that the project enhances residential satisfaction by offering the independent living space advantages of detached houses along with the security and community facilities advantages of apartments. Additionally, excellent educational environments are available with elementary, middle, and high schools located within 1 km, and proximity to Tapsil Children’s Park and Borasan Mountain ensures a pleasant environment. Furthermore, nearby amenities such as Gongse Costco, Emart Bora Branch, and Lotte Premium Outlet contribute to outstanding living infrastructure. The opening of GTX-A Yongin Station is also expected to bring transportation benefits.

Moreover, with a groundbreaking condition of a 10 million KRW down payment and ‘deferred balance payment and interest-free interim payments,’ the financial burden is reduced, and special benefits such as free balcony expansion are attracting continued interest from those looking to purchase their own home.

Visitors to the model house will receive detailed guidance on the changed conditions and various benefits. Various events will also be available during visits, so reservations will likely be required for weekend visits when visitor numbers peak. The Rapiano Yongin Gongse model house, which combines the advantages of apartments and detached houses to maintain a beautiful lifestyle while offering high investment value, is currently operating in Dongcheon-dong, Suji-gu, Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province.
