In this context, the first block-type detached housing in Yangju Okjeong New Town, ‘World Meridian Yangju Okjeong Raffinet The Terrace,’ is set to open its model house, attracting attention. This complex will be built in the Yangju-si area of Gyeonggi-do, consisting of a total of 188 units of a single exclusive area of 84㎡.


Located just a 5-minute drive from Deokgye Station on Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1, it offers direct connections to Jongno, City Hall, and Seoul Station. The planned Okjeong Jungang Station (Seoul Subway Line 7 extension) and Hoejeong Station (Line 1) will be newly established near the complex, further enhancing public transportation convenience. Construction of Deokjeong Station on the GTX-C line connecting Yangju and Suwon is also scheduled for this year.


The future vision of Okjeong New Town, where the complex is located, is also noteworthy. As the largest new town in the northeastern metropolitan area, expectations for development are quite high. Covering a land area of approximately 7.06 million square meters, it is planned to accommodate 42,019 households and an influx of 107,750 people. Various major development benefits are scheduled, promising substantial future gains. Infrastructure expansion is also active. The Yangju Techno Valley project, investing 142.4 billion KRW for advanced textile and design industries such as textiles, fashion, electricity, and electronics, is actively being promoted and is expected to bring benefits upon its completion in 2024.


Abundant infrastructure around the complex also draws attention. Large marts and shopping malls such as E-Mart, LF Square, and Hanaro Mart are adjacent, including the central commercial district of Okjeong New Town. Various infrastructures for education, transportation, daily life, and culture are actively being developed close to the complex, promising improved living convenience.


There are also various school facilities. A site for an elementary and middle school is planned within a 5-minute walk. Nearby are Cheonbo Elementary School (with shuttle bus service), Okjeong Middle School, and Okjeong High School, making it an attractive option for parents and buyers. A pleasant environment is also expected. Several parks such as Okjeong Ecological Forest Park, Okjeong Central Park, and Okjeong Sports Park are nearby, and the complex is surrounded by abundant natural green spaces, promising a healing lifestyle.



The model house for Yangju Okjeong Raffinet The Terrace will be located in Yangju-si. It will operate while strictly adhering to preventive measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including mask-wearing and regular disinfection.
