The typical idea of any
person’s dream house is a property set amid alienated surroundings with
fine prospects from the windows. Fine country furniture, choice prints
on the walls, good china, sweeping draperies and vases full of fresh
flowers at window mantelpieces. This typical idea of finery has been
replaced with small comfortable flats and apartments in recent years
and most metropolitans of the world find a huge count of such
buildings. The typical idea of a small and comfortable home in South
Korea however would fall truer t o the initial definition and hence
properties in the South Korean lands often sweep people off their feet.
The South Korean lands abound in a vast count of bungalows, houses,
villas, flats and apartment blocks. The price of property ranges from
the most affordable to the unreachable. The Korean land has something
of everything for everyone and it is true to state the fact that Korea
boasts of the second highest number of people living in their own
houses. This is only second to Virginia in North America. South Korean
houses are characterized by- ample greenery, a smallish driveway, a
spacious garage and private swimming pools.
The houses are woven around cane furniture, checked fabrics and soft
upholstery in most cases and it is rare to come across houses that are
meant on exclusively formal grounds. There was a time when Korean
plains were full of manor houses and landed properties, but with recent
demand for property in this belt, old houses have been pulled down and
replaced with neat, manageable homes. Commercial property is usually
ensured with a supply of ready to use furnishings and are never built
on elaborate scales. Designs are kept simple and basic to avoid
clutter. The price of property greatly depends on location factors and
the growth of rate in value is almost constant.
