1.5 Parking Spaces Per Household and Innovative Floor Plans... "Gwangmyeong City Pradium Eduheim"

Nationwide Registered Vehicle Count Surpasses 26 Million...
Ample Parking Spaces Boost Resident Satisfaction
Complexes with Over 1.5 Spaces per Household Gain Popularity in Subscription Market

As the total number of registered vehicles nationwide continues to rise, homebuyers in the new apartment market are making "ample parking space" a core criterion when selecting a complex.

According to data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the cumulative number of registered vehicles nationwide surpassed 26 million as of the first half of 2026. With one car for every two people, it has become common for households to own more than two vehicles. However, in the Seoul metropolitan area, most apartment complexes only provide about 1.2 to 1.3 parking spaces per unit. This shortfall often results in frequent incidents such as double-parking late at night or neighbor conflicts due to a lack of parking spaces, and it is not difficult to find news reporting on parking-related disputes and accidents.

Given this situation, complexes that secure more than 1.5 parking spaces per household are now recognized as premium properties, enhancing the satisfaction of residents.

While location or school district used to be the primary criteria for selecting an apartment, ongoing parking shortages have become a daily stress factor for residents, making "comfortable parking conditions" a key factor that elevates a property's value.

In fact, "The Shop Geomdan Lake Park," which launched sales in the Geomdan area of Incheon in June, received 9,189 applications for 1,307 units during the first-round subscription period (excluding special supply), recording a competition ratio of 6.91 to 1. The complex secured about 1.58 parking spaces per household, which drew strong positive responses from buyers.

An industry insider stated, "As the number of registered vehicles continues to grow, parking convenience has emerged as a critical factor directly linked to the value of apartment complexes. There is particularly high interest among end-users in complexes offering 1.5 or more parking spaces per unit."

Against this backdrop, "Gwangmyeong City Pradium Eduheim," developed by City Construction in the Gureumsan District of Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province, is drawing attention for its ample parking facilities.

"Gwangmyeong City Pradium Eduheim" is the first phase of a residential complex with a total of 930 units supplied by City Construction in the Gureumsan District, with this phase comprising 426 units across 6 buildings, spanning from 2 basement levels to 22 above-ground floors. Notably, all units in the first phase are small- and medium-sized apartments with exclusive use areas of 59 to 84 square meters—sizes favored by the key 30s and 40s demographic. Once the second phase is completed, the site is expected to become a signature large-scale City Pradium branded complex in the Gureumsan District.

The complex provides 1.5 parking spaces per household, significantly reducing nighttime parking difficulties and double-parking stress. By establishing a residential environment where residents can conveniently park after work, the complex is regarded as greatly enhancing the quality of daily life for its inhabitants.

In addition to its spacious parking, the innovative floor plan dramatically maximizes usable living space. In particular, the 84-square-meter D-type features a three-sided balcony, providing up to about 39.6 square meters (approximately 12 pyeong) of additional service area. This is viewed as the result of City Construction's differentiated, resident-focused design, tailored to lifestyles within a thoughtfully developed residential district.

The complex also boasts excellent educational and infrastructure offerings. As its name "Eduheim" suggests, all age-level schools—including Bright Bit Public Kindergarten, Seomyeon Elementary, Anseo Middle, and Creative Management High—are within walking distance, and access to the Soha Academy district is outstanding.

Transportation and lifestyle infrastructure are also robust. The complex is close to Subway Line 1 and KTX Gwangmyeong Station, and is conveniently accessible to the Second Gyeongin Expressway and Gangnam Circular Urban Expressway. Residents enjoy simultaneous access to key amenities around Gwangmyeong Station—such as IKEA, Costco, and Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital—as well as the Soha-dong living area.

According to a representative at certified real estate agency A, "As presale apartment prices keep rising—with new complexes in Bucheon exceeding 1.6 billion won and leading complexes in Gwangmyeong opening the 2 billion won era—even if prices are set in the 1.2 to 1.3 billion won range, relative price competitiveness can be expected, making this a noteworthy opportunity for end-users hoping to purchase a home."

Meanwhile, the model home for "Gwangmyeong City Pradium Eduheim" will be located in Iljik-dong, Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi Province, and is scheduled to open on the 18th.
