Taichung's Beitun Emerging Popular Residential Area in Taiwan
Beitun District in Taichung has recorded the highest net growth in residents in the first half of 2021, followed by Linkou and Tamsui districts in New Taipei, where housing prices are relatively low once again, according to a new report. Beitun saw a net growth of 2,131 registered residents in the first six months of the year, a rise that is believed to be associated with the newly launched Taichung metro line that connects the district to Taiwan High Speed Rail Taichung Station. In addition, Beitun has relatively cheap housing, averaging NT$213,000 (US$7,591) per ping (3.3 square meters), according to a list compiled by a real estate agency. New Taipei's Linkou had the second-most newcomers in the first half of the year, welcoming 1,510 people, followed by Tamsui with 1,027. Taoyuan's Guishan, Taoyuan, and Yangmei districts; Kaohsiung's Renwu District; Taichung's Nantun District; Tainan's Annan District; and New Taipei's Wugu District were also among the top 10 districts people were moving to this year. In addition to affordable housing, other primary strengths attracting people to these districts include good job opportunities, well-developed public transportation systems, and more age-friendly facilities within residential and public areas.
