Iksan Station U-Bless First, Attention Focused on KTX and SRT Station Area Benefits

[Perspective View of Iksan Station U-Bless First]

Recently, apartments near high-speed railway stations such as KTX and SRT have been gaining attention, and the upcoming 'Iksan Station U-Bless First,' located right in front of KTX and SRT Iksan Station, is drawing particular interest.

Although situated outside the metropolitan area, apartments with well-established metropolitan transportation networks are highly preferred due to the convenience of commuting to surrounding cities. Especially near KTX or SRT stations, residents can enjoy abundant living infrastructure including shopping, cultural, and convenience facilities, making these locations popular.

Apartment prices around high-speed railway stations have also shown notable increases. For example, Gwangmyeong Station Park Xi near KTX Gwangmyeong Station was traded at 1.165 billion KRW for an 84㎡ unit in June last year, but in March this year, just about nine months later, the price rose to 1.365 billion KRW, an increase of approximately 200 million KRW. Gangnam Desiang Foret near SRT Suseo Station was traded at 1.55 billion KRW for an 84㎡ unit in March last year, but jumped to 1.75 billion KRW in January this year.

In particular, the closer to the high-speed railway station, the higher the housing prices. As of March, the average apartment sale price per 3.3㎡ in Osandong, Hwaseong (SRT Dongtan Station) was 26.4 million KRW, about 10 million KRW higher than Hwaseong’s average of 16.47 million KRW. Iljik-dong, Gwangmyeong, where KTX Gwangmyeong Station is located, also exceeded the Gwangmyeong average with 36.3 million KRW compared to 26.89 million KRW.

A real estate expert stated, “Unlike traditional train stations, KTX and SRT stations are mostly built on new sites and are developed as new towns under mid- to long-term urban development plans, not just as stations.” He added, “The KTX and SRT station areas are systematically equipped with residential, educational, cultural, and commercial convenience facilities, which transforms the area into emerging residential districts.”

Iksan Station U-Bless First is located within a 5-minute walk from KTX and SRT Iksan Station and is also adjacent to the express bus terminal. Positioned at the forefront of the 185,000㎡ landmark project ‘Station Becomes Culture’ in Iksan, Iksan Station U-Bless First consists of 202 apartment units ranging from 67.48 to 207.55m² across 2 basement floors to 27 above-ground floors, and 24 officetel units sized between 79.86 and 79.98m².

The surrounding living infrastructure is abundant. Within a 1km radius are public offices such as Iksan City Hall and Jeonju District Court, as well as Iksan’s representative traditional markets, Jungang Market and Seodong Market. Nearby schools include seven elementary schools such as Namchang Elementary and Iri Elementary, three middle schools, and eight high schools. Additionally, the Iksan Foreign Language Education Support Center, which opened in March to foster global talent, enhances the excellent educational environment.

The promotional center is located in Iksan City. For more details, please visit the official website.
