‘Pocheon Riverforet’ Embracing Central Park and Waterside Park Within the Complex Draws Attention with Double Transit Access

When choosing a residence, the presence of a natural environment nearby is considered one of the most important factors.

Apartment complexes near parks and forests are increasingly preferred as demand grows for healthy living environments. Additionally, with the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic causing many to avoid indoor exercise facilities, the demand for outdoor spaces such as parks and forests is expected to rise even further.

This preference is also reflected in surveys. According to the "2025 Future Housing Trends Report" released by the Korea Housing Institute, in a survey on future housing selection factors, comfortability ranked highest at 33%. This surpassed the traditionally top factor, transportation convenience (24%). Following were convenience of living facilities (19%) and educational environment (11%).

Given this situation, residential areas closer to parks are commanding higher prices. In the actual sales market, price differences are clearly evident even within the same area depending on comfortability. According to data from KB Kookmin Bank’s Live Real Estate, the average sale price in July for an 84㎡ unit at "Songdo Central Park Prugio," located right in front of a park, was 950 million KRW. In contrast, the price for an 84㎡ unit at "Songdo The Sharp Harbor View Complex 13," about a 10-minute walk from Songdo Central Park, was around 790 million KRW, indicating that park accessibility influences sale prices.

A real estate expert stated, “With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic increasing the need for comfortable spaces, residential areas near green spaces like parks are gaining interest as they offer a pleasant living environment and convenient outdoor activities,” adding, “Interest in residential conditions close to parks or natural environments is expected to continue rising.”

As demand for apartment complexes near parks grows, local residents’ attention is naturally focusing on ‘Pocheon Riverforet,’ which offers a pleasant natural environment.

Additionally, the complex design links the Pocheoncheon waterside park with a central theme park planned within the complex, promising a pleasant living environment and beautiful park life throughout all four seasons.

The Pocheon 2 District, where the complex is located, is an area expected to have high future value due to development benefits and urban development projects.
