Geumseong Baekjo's 'Icheon Jungri B3 Block Geumseong Baekjo Yemi-ji,' which is scheduled to be released for sale this month, is attracting significant attention from workers employed at large corporate production facilities such as SK Hynix, OB Beer, Sajo CPK, and Hite Jinro, as well as those working in the administrative town. This is because not only does it offer the advantage of proximity between home and workplace, but it is also recognized as the last privately sold apartment in the highly sought-after Jungri Residential District, making it both rare and symbolic within the region.


As such, proximity between home and workplace is inevitably one of the most important factors when choosing a residence. According to the '2025 Real Estate Trend' report released in January this year by R2 Korea Real Estate Investment Advisory 2025, Heerim Architects & Planners, and Gallup Korea Research Institute, 'proximity to the workplace' accounted for 45% as a location factor considered when selecting a home in the future. This response rate was higher than that for residential/natural environment comfort (36%) and excellent educational conditions for children (30%), indicating that reducing commute time efficiently is considered even more important when purchasing a home.


Complexes with such proximity to workplaces also allow residents to enjoy leisurely activities after work. As 'work-life balance' has become increasingly important, the value of apartments close to workplaces has risen, and there is an active trend of buyers seeking to secure such properties. This is why demand is concentrated on apartments that are either located near subway stations, close to administrative towns such as city hall, or adjacent to expressway interchanges.


■ Apartment with outstanding location, scheduled for move-in November next year

The reason 'Icheon Jungri B3 Block Geumseong Baekjo Yemi-ji' is receiving so much attention is precisely due to its excellent proximity to major workplaces.


This complex is located near large corporate production facilities such as SK Hynix, OB Beer, Sajo CPK, and Hite Jinro. It also has strong connectivity to major semiconductor industry hubs, including the planned Yongin Advanced System Semiconductor Cluster National Industrial Complex, which Samsung Electronics is investing in, and the planned Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex, which SK Hynix is investing in. In addition, it is adjacent to the administrative town where Icheon City Hall, Icheon Police Station, Icheon Public Health Center, Icheon Art Hall, and Icheon Tax Office are concentrated. Planned sites for business and public office use are also nearby, making it a highly attractive apartment for a wide range of workers seeking proximity to their workplaces.


The Gyeonggang Line Icheon Station is located about 1 km from the complex, providing easy access to Pangyo Station and Gangnam Station. In the future, Icheon Station is expected to be expanded to include the planned GTX-D line and the Semiconductor Line. There are also express bus stops within walking distance, with routes to Gangnam (No. 3401), Jamsil (No. G2100), and other destinations.


'Icheon Jungri B3 Block Geumseong Baekjo Yemi-ji' stands out not only for its proximity to workplaces but also for enabling early home ownership. It is a pre-built, post-sale complex scheduled for move-in in November next year, and with the price ceiling system applied, buyers can secure a home at a reasonable price compared to the surrounding market rates.


The Jungri Residential District, where the complex is located, already has a fully developed living infrastructure, so residents can move in without inconvenience. Notably, Jungri Elementary School (scheduled to open in March 2026) and an affiliated kindergarten will be established right in front of the complex. Nearby, there are Icheon Middle School and Icheon Jeil High School, and the planned Icheon Science High School, which will focus on semiconductor-specialized education, providing an excellent educational environment. Access to local private academies is also convenient.


A neighborhood park is planned near the complex, and Seolbong Mountain and Bokhacheon Riverside Park are close by, allowing residents to enjoy a relaxing natural environment throughout all four seasons. Daily life infrastructure such as Lotte Mart, Gwanggo Traditional Market, CGV cinema, and Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center Icheon Hospital is also easily accessible for shopping, leisure, and medical needs.


'Icheon Jungri B3 Block Geumseong Baekjo Yemi-ji' is a large-scale complex consisting of 12 buildings, 20 stories above ground and 2 basement levels, with a total of 1,009 units ranging in exclusive area from 59 to 84 square meters, making it a differentiated apartment within the region.


First, the complex maintains wide spacing between buildings to maximize privacy and openness. It is designed as a park-style apartment with no cars on the ground level, prioritizing resident safety and comfort. All units are primarily south-facing and feature a plate-type structure to maximize sunlight and ventilation. Depending on the unit type, practical storage spaces such as an extra room, pantry, and dressing room, as well as convenient kitchen layouts, have been added. The complex will also include large-scale community facilities for various hobbies and leisure activities, so it is expected to offer an even higher level of work-life balance and residential satisfaction due to its proximity to workplaces.



Detailed information about 'Icheon Jungri B3 Block Geumseong Baekjo Yemi-ji,' which is set to begin official sales this month, can be found on the website or by phone inquiry. The model home is located next to Emart Icheon (in the Jeungpo-dong area of Icheon, Gyeonggi Province).
