Daegang Apartment 'Brain City Daegwang Rojeviang Grand Centum' Scheduled for Sale in January
- New Prime Location Apartments Emerging as the Hot Topic in the New Year Housing Market
- Meeting Demands for Prestigious School Zones, Major Development Benefits, and Convenient Living Areas
In the New Year’s housing market, new apartments developed in the best locations within the region are attracting attention. The top locations in the area generally meet three key conditions: proximity to schools, convenient living zones, and large-scale development prospects. Apartments built under these location conditions lead the local market price trends based on high residential preference.
Even within new towns like Dongtan and Godeok, residential value is often evaluated differently depending on the surrounding location conditions. According to the real estate industry, the price difference between apartments that meet all three location conditions and those that do not is about 100 million KRW or more. As the uncertain economic atmosphere intensifies the selection of prime properties in the housing market, this trend is expected to continue.
Recently, Brain City, known as the “Gangnam of Pyeongtaek,” has been gaining attention in the metropolitan area’s housing market. This area is recognized for its excellent location value as a smart new town that combines a large-scale residential complex developed entirely by the private sector with advanced industrial complexes, commercial, university, and medical facilities.
So, where exactly is the best location in Brain City? Real estate experts are focusing on ‘Brain City Daekwang Roje Biang Grand Centum,’ developed in Block 5 of the Brain City General Industrial Complex, as the flagship apartment of the area. This apartment is the only school zone within Brain City and is considered the prime beneficiary of major development projects such as the KAIST Pyeongtaek Campus (scheduled for 2026) and Ajou University Pyeongtaek Hospital (scheduled for 2030). Additionally, it is close to the central commercial district where various convenience facilities are concentrated.
Looking in detail, ‘Brain City Daekwang Roje Biang Grand Centum’ has kindergarten and elementary and middle school sites right in front of the complex. A high school is also planned within walking distance, providing an optimal educational environment with all school districts nearby. This not only ensures safe commuting for children but also creates a relatively favorable learning atmosphere compared to other areas, leading to high residential preference among parents.
Top-tier universities are also nearby. The KAIST Pyeongtaek Campus is scheduled to be established near the complex in 2026. High demand is expected from parents who prioritize educational environments. Having a nationally prestigious university nearby is absolutely advantageous for motivating children academically and fostering a learning atmosphere. If needed, children can also receive quality tutoring from KAIST students. In addition, the National Hankyong University Pyeongtaek Campus is within walking distance.
Furthermore, Ajou University Pyeongtaek Hospital is also planned. Scheduled to open in 2030, the hospital is being developed as a medical complex town equipped with advanced medical facilities such as smart operating rooms, robotic medical equipment, AI-based inpatient systems, data analysis, and integrated information management. As the importance of convenient and worry-free access to medical services grows, the future value of this location is expected to rise further.
The area also boasts abundant living infrastructure. Nearby are various shopping and cultural facilities such as Homeplus, E-Mart, CGV, and Lotte Cinema, and the central commercial district with banks, hospitals, and pharmacies is close by. Additionally, being adjacent to Godeok New Town allows residents to enjoy a wide-ranging living zone.
The transportation environment is excellent. The complex is close to Pyeongtaek Jije Station on Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1 and the SRT. In 2025, a metropolitan line stopping at Pyeongtaek Jije Station from Suwon via KTX will be added, and extensions of GTX-A and C lines are being positively considered. Moreover, nearby highways such as Pyeongtaek Jecheon Expressway, Gyeongbu Expressway, and the planned Pyeongtaek East Expressway enable fast travel nationwide by car.
Benefits from surrounding advanced industrial complexes are also anticipated. First, the Samsung Electronics Pyeongtaek Campus, the world’s largest semiconductor production facility, is nearby. Samsung plans to expand the semiconductor lines here up to six units, which is expected to generate employment for over 1.3 million people and production inducement effects worth 550 trillion KRW. Additionally, proximity to various advanced industrial complexes such as Songtan General Industrial Complex, Chilgoe General Industrial Complex, and Pyeongtaek Comprehensive Logistics Complex is expected to create abundant housing demand, especially among related workers.
Outstanding community facilities and design also stand out. A large-scale community with various sports and cultural facilities, including an indoor tennis court, is planned. Since all units are medium-sized with exclusive areas of 59 and 84 square meters, the design and structure will allow residents to efficiently utilize their living spaces.
