Housing in the 10th Redevelopment Zone, plenty of schools, reaching the foot of the Dakeng hills to the north
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Cross the Hanxi River and you're in the 10th Redevelopment Zone. The river's flow depends on rainfall—it often runs dry in the dry season, which is where the name, meaning "dry creek," comes from. In the real estate world, people divide the zone in two along Dongshan Road Section 1: the north side is mostly low-density villas, while the south side is an established residential area where people have lived for many years. Daily life centers around the two commercial areas of Dongshan and Jungong. Further north, houses gradually thin out—the northern half of Jungong Village is farmland, stretching all the way to the foot of the Dakeng hills. To the east, Heping Village's Dakeng Earthquake Park preserves damage left behind from the 921 Earthquake.
There are plenty of school options. Jiangong Elementary School's catchment area covers Jungong Village plus Shuijing Village, while Jungong Elementary School's catchment area is mainly Heping Village—together, these two school zones cover all three villages in the neighborhood. Dongshan Senior High School, Wagor Senior High School, and Buzi Elementary School also have campuses here. For groceries, head to Jungong Market in Jungong Village, which is a morning market. In street-view photos, buildings rank 23rd out of Taichung's 47 neighborhoods, putting it right in the middle of the pack.
This is a big neighborhood, about 760 hectares, stretching from the Hanxi River all the way to the foot of the mountains in the north. There's no MRT station within the neighborhood—the closest is Jiushe Station across the Hanxi River, about 390 meters from the neighborhood's edge, and you'd have to cross a bridge to get there, so public transit only ranks 30th. You'll need to travel a bit further to see a doctor—healthcare ranks 39th. The Provincial Highway 74 expressway cuts through the neighborhood from north to south, so when you're picking a place, it's worth checking how far it is from the expressway.
From the late Qing dynasty through the early Japanese colonial period, this area's northern half was Jungongliao Village and the southern half was Shuijingtou Village, with both villages bordered on the west by the Hanxi River, across from Jiushe and Sanshizhangli. In 1920, the two villages were reorganized into two "oaza" districts under Beitun Village, called "Jungongliao" and "Shuijingtou"—Jungongliao roughly corresponds to today's Jungong Village and Heping Village. In the 1999 921 Earthquake, the old site of Jungong Elementary School sat right on the Chelungpu Fault, and the classrooms were damaged as the ground buckled upward. The quake-damaged remains were preserved and turned into today's Dakeng Earthquake Park. The campus of Dongshan Junior High School (today's Dongshan Senior High School) was also on the fault line at the time and suffered severe damage. The following February, the 10th Redevelopment Zone was officially declared complete, which is how the new street grid on the Hanxi River's east bank came about. In 2001, Dongshan Junior High School moved to a new campus beside Taiyuan Road, and in 2009 it was reorganized into Dongshan Senior High School.

Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare. Search an address and look at the street outside first.
How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
