Apartment Prices in Yangju's Okjeong New Town and Deokjeong Station Area Surge Due to GTX Opening
Premium Design, Excellent Seoul Accessibility, and Affordable Prices Highlight Yangju Deokjeong Station Epyt
Housing prices are fluctuating, especially in areas expected to benefit from the GTX lines. Yangju City in Gyeonggi Province is one such area. In particular, Okjeong New Town and the vicinity of Deokjeong Station are attracting significant attention. Both areas share common features such as improved transportation infrastructure, expanded living convenience facilities, and scarcity due to reduced new supply.
According to local real estate sources, the apartment ‘Daebang Nobland The Signature,’ considered a representative in Okjeong New Town, has recently seen asking prices for the 84m2 exclusive area range between 550 million and 750 million KRW. Considering that the average price was below 500 million KRW at the end of last year, this represents a significant increase.
This trend is expected to continue for the time being, primarily due to the definite benefit of the GTX-C line. Once opened, it will take about 20 minutes to reach the Gangnam area in Seoul. Additionally, the sequential development of Yangju Technovalley (scheduled for completion in 2026) and Eunnam General Industrial Complex (2027) is expected to increase jobs, population, and housing demand, further supporting this outlook.
The reason ‘Yangju Deokjeong Station Epyt,’ currently being sold near Deokjeong Station, is gaining attention is also related to this. This apartment offers both reasonable prices and accessibility to Seoul, making it ideal for genuine buyers preparing to purchase a home. While the average apartment sale price in the metropolitan area is 23.11 million KRW per 3.3㎡, Yangju Deokjeong Station Epyt is priced at about 60% of that, at 13.95 million KRW. The sale price for an 84m2 exclusive area ranges from 431 million to 499 million KRW. The initial deposit is 10 million KRW for the first payment, and the second deposit is supported by interest-free loans, significantly reducing the initial financial burden. Interest-free loans are also provided for the intermediate payments. There are no resale restrictions, allowing easy liquidity.
An indispensable advantage of Yangju Deokjeong Station Epyt is its excellent accessibility to Seoul. It is accessible via Deokjeong Station on Subway Line 1, allowing travel to Seoul Station without transfers. When the extension of Line 7 (Dobongsan-Pocheon) opens, access to Gangnam will improve further.
The Paju-Yangju section of the Metropolitan Area 2nd Ring Expressway has already opened, and the Seoul-Yangju Expressway is scheduled to open soon, making it convenient to travel throughout the metropolitan area by car. Especially with the opening of GTX-C, commuting time to Gangnam Samsung Station via the planned Deokjeong Station on GTX-C will be drastically reduced, increasing the demand for commuting to Seoul.
