As the conditions people want for housing diversify and their expectations rise, "hexagon apartments" that check multiple boxes are emerging as a trend in the real estate market.
Apartments that feature six core elements—transportation, living infrastructure, school district, natural environment, product competitiveness, and future value—offer strong convenience for living, comfort, and access to education, resulting in high residential satisfaction.
Even if the real estate market is unstable, properties with outstanding location and product competitiveness tend to be highly liquid and resist price declines well. For this reason, real estate seekers are paying attention to the subscription market in the second half of this year to secure hexagon apartments.
