New towers full of software and IC design firms, with a riverside bike path right alongside
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The area around Nangang Software Park Station, along Jingmao 1st Road and Jingmao 2nd Road, is a cluster of new high-rise blocks. In 2015 the park had 418 companies and about 24,443 employees, most of them working in software and IC design, digital creative industries, biotech, and cultural and creative industries. The whole neighborhood is Sanchong Village in Nangang District, which has nothing to do with Sanchong District in New Taipei City.
This neighborhood ranks 1st out of Taipei's 73 neighborhoods for greenery and 2nd for street environment — the streets are green and tidy. Inside the levee runs the Keelung River Left Bank Bike Path, so you can stroll or cycle without ever leaving the neighborhood. Commuting is easy too: Nangang Software Park Station on the Wenhu Line sits right inside the neighborhood, while Nangang Exhibition Center Station is just one neighborhood over. All of Sanchong Village falls within the Nangang Elementary School catchment area, so kids don't have to leave the neighborhood for primary school.
Healthcare ranks third from the bottom among Taipei's 73 neighborhoods, so it's worth deciding early where you'll go for medical care. A fair chunk of Sanchong Village is taken up by offices, exhibition and convention facilities, and an MRT depot, with housing concentrated mainly along Jingmao 1st Road and Jingmao 2nd Road. When you go to view a place, it's worth walking the area yourself to see if it feels lived-in enough. The catchment junior high, Chengzheng Junior High School, is in neighbouring Xinfu Village, not inside this neighborhood.
In 1992, the Executive Yuan approved the development plan for the Nangang Economic and Trade Park, which was to include a software park and an exhibition centre. The first two phases of the software park were built on the former site of the Taiwan Fertilizer Company's Nangang plant, with phase one breaking ground in 1996 and finishing in 1999. Nangang Software Park Station opened in July 2009, and at first it averaged fewer than a thousand riders a day, earning it a reputation as the quietest MRT station in Taiwan. At the end of 2014, the CTBC Financial Park was completed and the company's headquarters moved in, and a pedestrian bridge linking it to the park also opened that same month—after which the station's foot traffic rose noticeably.

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.
