Recently, apartment sales transactions have been centered around people in their 30s and 40s with elementary and middle school children, drawing attention to ‘Haksegwon’ apartments?residential areas near schools.

According to the Korea Real Estate Board, out of a total of 352,075 apartment sales transactions nationwide from January to October last year, 185,714 transactions (52.74%) were made by people in their 30s and 40s. In particular, this age group naturally tends to seek ‘Haksegwon’ complexes that are close to schools and have a studious atmosphere, as they are parents of elementary or middle school children.

Besides the studious environment, according to Article 3 of the Enforcement Decree of the School Health Act (School Environment Sanitation Purification Zone), harmful facilities that could damage public morals, such as waste disposal facilities, lodging businesses, and entertainment establishments, cannot be established within 200 meters in a straight line from schools. This makes Haksegwon complexes steady sellers in the real estate market.

A representative Haksegwon area in the metropolitan area is Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province. Suwon City has the highest number of schools in Gyeonggi Province, with a total of 157 elementary and middle schools. Among them, Yeongtong-gu in Suwon City has 54 elementary and middle schools, the highest number among administrative districts.

According to School Alimi, among the top 200 middle schools in Gyeonggi Province with high special-purpose high school admission rates, 19 are located in Yeongtong-gu alone.

Furthermore, compared to the average special-purpose high school admission rate of 1.8% among the top 200 schools, Gwanggyo Middle School in Yeongtong-gu boasts an 8.5% admission rate, Yeongdeok Middle School 5.4%, and Mangpo Middle School 5.1%, demonstrating an excellent school district.

As such, with many schools located in the Haksegwon area, the demand for apartment sales transactions among parents in their 30s and 40s is also high. Looking at the Korea Real Estate Board’s apartment sales transactions by buyer age group, from January to October this year, 67.57% (2,707 cases) of buyers in Yeongtong-gu, Suwon City, were in their 30s and 40s. This figure significantly exceeds the Gyeonggi Province average of 56.07%.

A real estate official explained, “As the influence of people in their 30s and 40s with school-age children becomes stronger in the sales market, subscription accounts of actual buyers are flocking to Haksegwon complexes. These complexes have a high demand because they offer not only a studious atmosphere but also well-established living infrastructure.”
