Residential complexes located close to workplaces are gaining popularity. As more office workers seek to maintain work-life balance, these complexes attract those who want to save commuting time and increase their leisure time.

Residential complexes with excellent proximity to workplaces allow for ample leisure activities and help residents avoid traffic congestion during commutes, leading to significant improvements in quality of life.

Most areas where companies are located have well-established living infrastructure and transportation networks. If housing demand increases in the future, additional development of transportation and convenience facilities is highly likely, enhancing the future value of these areas.

According to a survey titled “Real Estate Trends 2023: Desired Housing” released by Gallup in April, “distance to workplace/proximity to workplace (47%)” was one of the top factors considered when choosing a home. The survey results show that location-related factors are generally prioritized, and people carefully consider these when selecting their residence. Compared to other age groups, younger generations place relatively more importance on proximity to the workplace. 68% of people in their 20s and 55% of those in their 30s consider workplace proximity when choosing housing.

As more people choose residential complexes with excellent workplace proximity, housing complexes near semiconductor industrial complexes located in Yongin, Hwaseong, and Suwon are attracting attention. These areas form so-called “Ban-se-gwon” (Bansemiconductor + Segwon), making them highly preferred residential areas for related workers.

In particular, the Yongin area, where the world’s largest semiconductor cluster is planned, is seeing increased interest in its residential complexes. With the upcoming advanced system semiconductor national industrial complex and the Yongin semiconductor cluster expected to concentrate semiconductor-related industries, attention is focused on workplace-proximate residential complexes around Yongin Special City.

With expectations of an influx of related workers and various supporting demand, new housing complexes continue to attract buyers. Yongin has traditionally had high demand for townhomes, and recently, “Rapiano Yongin Gongse,” a gated townhome born from in-depth consideration of the essence of housing, has been announced for sale, generating buzz.

This project is part of the “Rapiano” brand by RBDK, which has established a strong presence in gated townhome locations in multiple areas, starting with Gimpo Unyang District in 2017, followed by Paju Unjeong Rapiano and Goyang Samsong Umi Rapiano.

While maintaining individual residential spaces, it provides security and amenity facilities so residents can enjoy a safe and convenient living environment. Additionally, various specialized space designs such as private gardens, terraces, attics, and rooftops are applied, allowing residents to utilize spaces according to their needs.

Moreover, the design includes void spaces that create a sense of openness along with a large actual living area, enhancing spatial efficiency. Some units feature Rapiano’s first-ever private elevators and convenient private garages, while unique spaces such as wide voids in the living room and master rooms maximize residential convenience.

Private gardens that enhance residents’ satisfaction by offering a private eco-life are also highly anticipated. Not only inside the residential spaces but also nearby, there is Tapsil Children’s Park and Borasan Mountain, allowing easy access to nature from outside.

Within 1 km of the complex, elementary, middle, and high schools responsible for children’s education are located, providing a safe educational environment. Large convenience facilities such as Costco, E-Mart, and Lotte Premium Outlet are also within 3 km, offering convenience to residents. Accessibility to Dongtan New Town and Gwanggyo New Town is excellent, allowing shared living areas.

“Rapiano Yongin Gongse,” located in Giheung-gu, Yongin Special City, Gyeonggi Province, is planned to consist of a total of 94 units across three above-ground floors. It is expected to directly benefit from infrastructure developments such as the semiconductor cluster formation in Yongin, the planned opening of GTX-A Yongin Station, and the development of Yongin Platform City.

Meanwhile, the model house for “Rapiano Yongin Gongse” is currently operating in Suji-gu, Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province.
