Recently, community facilities in apartment living environments have emerged as just as important as the living spaces themselves. Beyond simply providing convenience, they have become key areas that determine the quality of life for residents. Hyosung Harrington Place is at the forefront of this trend, creating a new residential culture.
The Changing Trends in Apartment Communities
▲ The Evolution of Apartment Community Facilities Over Time
The apartment boom of the 1980s transformed our cultural way of life. Apartments raised the quality of life by offering optimized layouts and secure environments, allowing residents to have personal space while also encouraging a shared responsibility in maintaining the community. Amidst these changes, apartment community facilities became key spaces that not only offered convenience but also fostered communication and interaction among neighbors. In the 1990s, the need for more community interaction grew, and the number of shared spaces such as playgrounds and senior centers within apartment complexes gradually increased. In the 2000s, with the rise of mixed-use apartments, facilities became more sophisticated. Various conveniences emerged, making it possible to live without leaving the complex. Notable examples include the development of fitness centers and tennis courts as part of the growing sports facilities.
In the late 2000s, apartment amenities expanded into more diverse forms. Facilities such as study rooms, kids' rooms, and water play areas emerged, catering to a broader range of age groups. By the 2010s, shared amenities for young children and their parents became central to apartment communities.
Recently, features reminiscent of luxury hotels—indoor golf practice rooms, saunas, and rooftop gardens—have been introduced into apartment complexes. With more people staying home during the COVID-19 pandemic, community facilities that enable leisure and hobbies have surged in popularity. Movie theaters, multi-sports rooms, party rooms, office spaces, and landscaped areas with a camping-inspired vibe are now highly sought after.
This evolution of community amenities reflects the shifting lifestyles and residential preferences of modern people, turning apartments into multifunctional living spaces that go beyond simple housing. These developments significantly enhance the quality of life for residents and are expected to grow even more diverse in the future.
