Recently, homebuyers in the housing market have been turning their attention to apartments located near workplaces. For those exhausted by endless traffic congestion and long commutes, living close to work is more than just a matter of convenience-it has become a solution for improving overall quality of life.
Experts highlight three main values of residential complexes near workplaces. First, these complexes maintain strong market value due to a stable demand base. Second, they offer real savings on living expenses by reducing both transportation costs and commuting time. Third, they significantly enhance residential satisfaction by allowing for more leisure time and increased time with family, thereby creating a more comfortable daily rhythm.
As a result, recently supplied residential complexes near workplaces have proven their popularity in the subscription market by recording high competition rates. For example, 'The H Daechi Edelweiss' in Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, which boasts excellent accessibility to the Gangnam business district, recorded the highest subscription competition rate this year at 1,133.88 to 1. Similarly, 'Pangyo Technovalley Junghung S Class' gained popularity due to its proximity to Pangyo Technovalley, home to leading IT companies such as Naver, Kakao, Nexon, and NCSoft, resulting in a competition rate of 1,110.35 to 1.
In addition, most residential complexes with high subscription competition rates this year have been located within a 30-minute drive of major business districts, highlighting their appeal as residences near workplaces. According to data from Real Estate R114, most of the popular complexes supplied this year are close to major business districts, ensuring a strong base of potential residents.
In Gyeonggi Province, 'Dongtan Fore Park Nature & Prugio' in Hwaseong City, which topped the subscription competition rankings at 71.4 to 1, and 'Dongtan Dream Forest Nature & Desiang' at 41.9 to 1, are both located near Dongtan General Industrial Complex and the Yongin Advanced System Semiconductor Cluster, which is scheduled for construction in 2026. In North Chungcheong Province, 'Cheongju Technopolis Athera Phase 2' (109.7 to 1) and 'Cheongju Technopolis Heartrium The Metro' (46.3 to 1) are situated in Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju, serving as residential bases for Cheongju Technopolis and Cheongju General Industrial Complex, making them prime examples of residential complexes near workplaces.
An industry insider commented, "Apartments near workplaces, which offer convenient commutes, maintain stable prices and active transactions even amid real estate regulations or economic downturns, thanks to a solid base of genuine buyers. In particular, those in their 30s and 40s, who are the core demographic in the subscription market, prioritize work-life balance and prefer complexes that allow them to reduce commuting time and spend more time on leisure and with family. As a result, the value of residential complexes near workplaces is expected to rise further in the future."
Against this backdrop, Geumseong Baekjo's 'Anseong Ayang Geumseong Baekjo Yemi-ji,' being supplied in Block B2 of the Ayang Residential Development District in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, is attracting significant attention from buyers thanks to its outstanding proximity to workplaces.
This complex is located within a 10-minute drive of numerous industrial complexes, including Anseong General Industrial Complexes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, Miyang Agro-Industrial Complex, and Miyang 2 General Industrial Complex, providing excellent commuting conditions. Notably, Hyundai Motor Group is currently developing the Mobility Alpha Line Anseong Center (MAAC), covering approximately 200,000 square meters, within Anseong General Industrial Complex 5.
The Dongshin General Industrial Complex, designated as a specialized cluster for semiconductor materials, components, and equipment, is also nearby, further enhancing the complex's appeal as a residence near workplaces. The development of Dongshin General Industrial Complex is scheduled to begin in 2027 and be completed by 2030, with expectations of significant future growth and job creation. According to Anseong City, if the Dongshin General Industrial Complex project is successful, it is expected to create approximately 16,000 jobs, generate added value of 990 billion won, and induce production worth 2.44 trillion won.
Additionally, the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex by SK Hynix and the Samsung Electronics Advanced System Semiconductor Cluster National Industrial Complex are both within a 30-minute drive, suggesting further potential for residential demand in the area.
'Anseong Ayang Geumseong Baekjo Yemi-ji' consists of eight buildings, ranging from one basement level to 25 floors above ground, with exclusive floor areas of 84 square meters, and will supply a total of 657 units. The model house is scheduled to be established in Oksan-dong, Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, and is set to open on the 25th.
