When you wake up in the morning and open the curtains, a wide expanse of blue greenery fills your view like a picture, and there is a park right near your home where you can enjoy leisurely walks every day with your family and pet dog.

Wellness complexes, where you can enjoy a pleasant life surrounded by abundant natural environments, are gaining attention. Wellness is a compound word combining well-being, happiness, and fitness, deepening the definition of health to approach it from a broad perspective beyond the physical body, including mental and emotional stability. Accordingly, among residential environments, complexes with abundant green spaces and walkable parks nearby, providing comfortable living conditions, are referred to as wellness complexes.

Wellness complexes have recently gained high popularity as the trend of valuing quality of life spreads and residential comfort has become a key factor in housing choices, especially after COVID-19.

In fact, according to a survey conducted last year by the real estate platform Zigbang targeting app users, the most important factor in choosing a residence after COVID-19 was ‘comfort - proximity to forest areas (green spaces, parks).’ It was selected by 31.6% of respondents, showing more than twice the difference compared to traditional residential preference factors such as ‘convenience (all-in-one buildings near amenities)’ (13.1%) and ‘transportation convenience’ (12%).

In particular, the prevailing evaluation is that this trend will continue in the future. In ‘Trend Korea 2022,’ published by the Seoul National University Consumer Trend Analysis Center, ‘Rustic Life,’ which aligns with wellness complexes with high residential comfort, was selected as one of the top 10 trends. Rustic Life is a lifestyle that enjoys the charm, leisure, and comfort of nature while living in the city without disconnecting from urban life. It is highly favored by modern people exhausted by overcrowded urban environments, so this trend is expected to firmly establish itself going forward.

Meanwhile, a new complex offering a rare wellness life is attracting attention in Maengdong-myeon, Eumseong-gun, Chungbuk Province.

HDC Hyundai Development Company plans to launch ‘Eumseong I-Park’ in October in the Maengdong-myeon area of Eumseong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. ‘Eumseong I-Park’ will be a large complex built on A and B blocks of the Bonseong district, consisting of 1,653 households in total, with buildings ranging from 2 basement floors to 29 floors above ground, and exclusive areas of 84, 113, and 177 square meters. The number of households per block is △A block: 9 buildings, 880 households △B block: 8 buildings, 773 households.

‘Eumseong I-Park’ is planned to have a park right in front of the complex, and it is adjacent to various parks and green spaces such as Witmal Park, Silgeoulgol Park, Dutgol Park, and Hancheon Stream. Additionally, a park is also planned to be created inside the complex.

Moreover, the complex is located next to Chungbuk Innovation City, which began its first move-in in 2014 and has continuously grown, surpassing a population of 30,000 last year. Chungbuk Innovation City houses 11 relocated public institutions in fields such as information and communication, science and technology, education and talent development, and public services, and is equipped with various convenience facilities including hospitals, marts, banks, and cinemas.

‘Eumseong I-Park’ will open a model house for prospective buyers.
