Yeosu Singi Hoostige

Apartments located near parks, mountains, and forests offer excellent residential comfort. As the importance of health and leisure grows, forest-adjacent apartments?known as “sopseokwon” (a newly coined term referring to residential areas near green spaces like forests)?are gaining attention for providing a healing lifestyle.

Fine dust, which has been a major issue in recent years, is also increasing the popularity of complexes near parks. In April 2017, the Korea Forest Service’s National Institute of Forest Science compared fine dust levels between Hongneung Forest in Seoul and an urban area about 2 km away from the forest. It was confirmed that ultrafine dust was reduced by about 40% and general fine dust by about 25% in the forest area.

Moreover, even within the same region, apartment prices vary depending on the abundance of greenery such as mountains and parks near the complex. According to actual transaction data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the 84㎡ unit of “Bukhansan Raemian Apartment Complex 2” in Nokbeon-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, adjacent to Bukhansan Ecological Park, was traded for 800 million KRW in February, while the same size unit in “Nokbeon Station Centreville,” located about 1.5 km away from Bukhansan, sold for 697 million KRW. The “Bukhansan Raemian Apartment,” equipped with green infrastructure due to its proximity to Bukhansan Ecological Park, was sold at a price more than 100 million KRW higher.

Apartments surrounded by greenery also perform better in subscription competitions compared to general apartments. Among the top 10 complexes with the highest subscription competition rates in 2019, six were located near abundant green spaces such as parks or mountains. For example, “Songdo The Sharp Central Park Phase 3,” launched in September 2019, had a competition rate of 206.13 to 1 and was located across the street from Songdo Central Park. “Isu Prugio The Pretium,” with a competition rate of 203.75 to 1, was near the National Cemetery and Samil Park, both rich in greenery.

A real estate industry official said, “Non-forest-adjacent complexes inevitably differ significantly in terms of fine dust and temperature comfort compared to forest-adjacent complexes in daily life,” adding, “As trends emphasizing work-life balance and healing become more important, the preference among buyers for greenery and parks over commercial infrastructure like shopping districts will intensify.”

As the value of complexes surrounded by greenery rises, Daechang Enterprises will supply the high-end premium apartment “Yeosu Singi Heustige” and commercial facility “Mega11” this April on the former Megabox site at 11 Singi-dong, Yeosu. The complex will enjoy abundant clean natural environments such as Goraksan Mountain, walking trails, Singi Park, and Singi 3 Park right in front.

Singi-dong, where the complex is located, boasts excellent living infrastructure. The adjacent 8-lane Ssangbong-ro provides convenient access anywhere in Yeosu city, and the nearby Hakdong district already has established living infrastructure, allowing residents to enjoy a convenient lifestyle. The complex is also easily accessible to administrative and medical facilities located in central Yeosu, including Yeosu City Hall, Yeosu Court, Korea Hospital, Yeosu Seongsim Hospital, and Jeil Hospital. Additionally, Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, E-Mart, Lotte Mart, and banks are nearby for convenient use.

“Yeosu Singi Heustige” and “Mega11” also offer excellent educational environments for children. Numerous elementary, middle, and high schools such as Singi Elementary, Ssangbong Elementary, Yeoseon Middle, Yeocheon Middle, Yeosu Ungcheon Middle, and Yeocheon High are located nearby. Furthermore, educational infrastructure includes Chonnam National University Yeosu Campus and Chonnam National University Yeosu Industry-Academia Convergence Campus, providing a strong academic environment for children.

With the commercial facility “Mega11” within the complex, residents will have easy access to various lifestyle and convenience facilities. The commercial area is designed as a street-type shopping center adjacent to the road with a pleasant outdoor terrace, maximizing customer attraction from both inside and outside the complex. It will also secure ample parking space and introduce various specialized designs to enhance visitor convenience.

Meanwhile, the high-end premium apartment “Yeosu Singi Heustige” plans to open its model house this month and begin full-scale sales. The model house is located at Room 105, Building B, International Pavilion, Yeosu Expo Complex.
