A total of 128 non-apartment Mirinaezip units in transit-oriented areas near Seoul subway stations will be made available to newlyweds and households with newborns, with monthly rents in the 100,000–200,000 won range.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Housing & Communities Corporation (SH) said online apartment subscription applications for the "general housing-type Mirinaezip" program will be accepted from Aug. 28 through Sept. 2. Following document screening and winner announcements, move-ins will be available on a rolling basis starting in February 2027.

The units on offer are spread across eight housing complexes in six districts, including Songpa-gu, Gangbuk-gu and Guro-gu. The largest single allocation is 30 units at Build Artete Apartments, located at 14 Uicheonno 24-gil in Dobong-gu.

The complex sits directly alongside the Uicheon stream, making it well suited for walks. Households earning up to 130 percent of the average monthly income — or 200 percent for dual-income couples — pay 70 percent of the market price. For a dedicated area of 59 square meters, that works out to a deposit of 84.84 million won and a monthly rent of around 870,000 won. Under the deposit-conversion scheme, tenants can adjust the terms to a deposit of around 210 million won and a monthly rent of 170,000 won, significantly reducing the monthly payment.

The highest-priced units by monthly rent are the Le Pied Munjeong units in Songpa-gu. Ten units ranging from 42 to 49 square meters are available, with rental deposits in the low 100 million won range and monthly rents of 1.17 million to 1.36 million won. For the two-bedroom 49-square-meter unit, tenants using the deposit-conversion scheme can pay a maximum deposit of 320 million won and a monthly rent of 270,000 won.

Other complexes in the offering include HJ Forest (3 units) and Yungseong Greenville 1 (6 units) in Gangbuk-gu; Hanbyeol No. 5 (7 units) in Guro-gu; Segyo Yejian 11 (25 units) and Estapa Park Buildings 101–102 (27 units) in Geumcheon-gu; and Saeeul Senseville Buildings A and B (20 units) in Jungnang-gu.

General housing-type Mirinaezip leases run for two years and can be renewed up to four times, allowing tenants to stay for up to 10 years. Households with children may renew up to six times, extending their stay to 14 years. Tenants who have a child born after 2024 during their residency may continue renewing their lease until that child reaches adulthood.

Households earning 80 percent or less of the average monthly income, or those receiving public assistance, pay 60 percent of the prevailing market price. Those earning up to 130 percent — or up to 200 percent for dual-income couples — pay 70 percent. Total household assets must not exceed 362 million won.

Newlywed households — those who are married or engaged as of the announcement date — who have a child after the announcement date while living in a general housing-type Mirinaezip unit for around 10 years will be eligible to transfer to a long-term jeonse housing unit (Mirinaezip 2) or to extend their residency.
