Dongtan-gu in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, has recorded the highest housing price growth rate in the country, according to findings reviewed against primary sources including Yonhap News imagery and Hwaseong city materials. The claim that the district tops the ranking in price appreciation holds as stated, provided the distinction between growth rate and absolute price level is kept in mind.
The ranking refers to the rate of increase in housing prices, not the highest absolute price level. Districts in the Seoul metropolitan area can lead in percentage growth while remaining below the per-unit price levels of central Seoul neighborhoods, a distinction that matters when interpreting the result.
The finding is consistent with primary sources reviewed for this report, including photographs and graphic materials distributed by Yonhap News dated June 30, 2026, and a banner published on the official Hwaseong City website. While exact figures may vary slightly depending on the statistical window and methodology used, the underlying claim — that Dongtan-gu ranks first in housing price growth rate — stands without material discrepancy.
The claim is judged True.
