Hannam The Hill
A Layout & Floor Plan Analysis
01The Estate by the Numbers
Based on the Block Plan, Hannam The Hill comprises 600 households across six distinct floor-plan categories.
| Category | Plan Codes | Approx. Size | Units | Character |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plex | 332PEa/b · 331B · 330A | ~330 m² (100 pyeong) | 36 | Rarest, top-tier units |
| Terrace | 303TEb · 303TB · 302TA/TEa/TEc · 268TEd | ~300 m² (91 pyeong) | 60 | Classic, refined luxury |
| Tower | 284TOa · 281TOb | ~284 m² (85 pyeong) | 204 | The estate's signature plan |
| Plate ① | 246A | ~246 m² (74 pyeong) | 131 | Urban mid-size |
| Plate ② | 215A | ~215 m² (65 pyeong) | 36 | The rarest mid-size |
| Plate ③ | (small unit) | ~86 m² (26 pyeong) | 133 | Compact, near the entrance |
What stands out is that Hannam The Hill is not simply a "luxury apartment complex." It was conceived as a luxury village, combining four architectural typologies — Plex, Terrace, Tower, and Plate — within a single estate. Such typological diversity is virtually unmatched among Korea's residential developments.
02North & South — A Duality Divided by the Main Road
The estate's most important structural feature is that the main internal road (off Dokseodang-ro) divides it into a Northern Line and a Southern Line — two zones with distinct elevations, atmospheres, and views.
Plex (100 pyeong) · Terrace (91 pyeong) · Some 85-pyeong
Close to community amenities
26-pyeong (Bldg 132) · 65 / 74 / 85-pyeong lines
Includes the Dokseodang-ro-facing line
The Northern Line
Sits on higher ground, with proximity to the Maebongsan walking trail giving it the most private atmosphere in the estate. The 100-pyeong Plex units occupy the very top of the hill — something not obvious from the Block Plan — and with only three stories, they avoid any tower-like imposition, instead delivering an unusually grounded, settled-on-the-earth feeling. Most of the 91-pyeong Terrace units are also located here, forming a classical-luxury spine across the estate.
The Southern Line
Concentrates the 26-pyeong (Bldg 132) and the 65 / 74 / 85-pyeong lines near the estate entrance. External access is at its best here. That said — as we'll see — "Southern Line = less desirable" is far from accurate. Several of the estate's hidden gems are tucked into this block.
03A Map of Building & Line Preferences
The Generally Most-Favored Lines
- Bldgs 120 & 121 (85-pyeong) — the most desirable lines in the estate, satisfying both conditions: northern position + proximity to community amenities.
- Bldg 115, units 1·2·3 — open frontage with unobstructed views. Highly favored by buyers who prioritize sightlines.
- Bldg 116, units 1·2 — similarly open-facing.
The Relatively Value-Oriented Lines
- Bldgs 101 & 102 (85-pyeong) — less favored because of their proximity to the estate entrance. The flip side: they are often the most reasonably-priced entry point into the same 85-pyeong floor plan.
215A 65-Pyeong — The Rarest Plan's Best-Kept Secret
215A is the estate's smallest-supply mid-size plan, with only 36 households total. It sits along the Dokseodang-ro main road, and many outsiders dismiss it on that basis alone.
Yet on the 2nd and 3rd floors, residents look out over the perimeter wall onto a layered canopy of trees — an intimate, painterly green view. The conventional rule that "low floors are inferior" simply does not apply here.
Even more interesting is the ground-floor line, which connects directly to the front garden — offering the feel of owning a private garden. For buyers seeking a "townhouse-on-the-ground-floor" lifestyle, it's an unexpectedly compelling option.
Bldg 132, 26-Pyeong, Ground Floor — The Entrance Surprise
Common assumption: "ground floor + near the entrance" should mean noise and exposure. Reality: almost no one walks past this spot — it sits off the natural pedestrian flow. The result is a wide, garden-like outlook in front of the unit, closer to a private garden house than an apartment. A compact floor plan delivering a genuinely private-garden lifestyle.
100-Pyeong Plex — The Hilltop the Map Doesn't Show
On the Block Plan, these buildings look like just another northern line. In reality, they sit at the very top of the hill. With only three stories, they have no tower mass, just a grounded, calm presence — the strongest "settled-on-the-earth" feeling in the estate. 332PEa and 332PEb hold six units each: the entire experience is available to only 36 households out of 600.
04The Four Floor-Plan Characters
Reading the floor plans together, Hannam The Hill effectively houses four different residential grammars inside a single estate.
Plex — A Detached House Inside the City
332PEa / 332PEb / 331B / 330A. Two-story (1F + 2F) units with integrated gardens and terraces — effectively a detached-house lifestyle inside an apartment estate. The garden is woven into the floor plate itself, not appended to it.
Terrace — Orderly Classicism
303TEb, 303TB, 302TA / TEa / TEc, 268TEd. Orderly, classically composed plans with clear separation between living, dining, and bedroom zones. The most "traditional luxury" grammar in the estate, and the easiest to read for buyers new to ultra-prime housing.
Tower — The Largest Cohort, the Most Variant Plans
284TOa (145 units) / 281TOb (59 units). 204 units in total, roughly one-third of the entire estate. 284TOa alone splits into five micro-variants (284TOa1–5), meaning the same nominal 85-pyeong plan evolves across floors and lines — a fascinating amount of plan diversity hidden inside a single "type."
Plate — The Most Urban, the Most Efficient
246A (74-pyeong, 131 units) / 215A (65-pyeong, 36 units) / 26-pyeong (133 units). 246A has six plan variants; 215A also six. This category offers the highest plan-diversity-per-household ratio in the estate, designed to deliver an urban lifestyle without sacrificing spatial generosity.
05The Takeaway, in One Line
and inside each village, a few hidden gems only insiders know.
Living in "Hannam The Hill" can mean radically different things depending on which block, which line, and which floor you call home. The Northern Line offers seclusion and a sense of settled belonging. The Southern Line offers access and — counter-intuitively — some of the most beautiful green views in the estate. And lines like 215A floors 2–3, the 215A ground-floor garden units, or Bldg 132's ground-floor 26-pyeong prove that judging by floor number alone is the fastest way to overlook the estate's best addresses.
The real value of Hannam The Hill lies not in its brand name, but in how well one reads the estate's micro-geography. As a closing note: this remains a personal interpretation, and every household in the estate has its own distinct merit and appeal.
