“…In the field of housing, however, the lifestyle concept rarely has been mentioned in research studies. Instead, as indicated by Beamish, Goss, and Emmel (2001), there have been several other concepts influencing housing choice, including housing values, economic status, cultural norms, stage in the family life cycle, and housing needs.…”

“…The main purpose of lifestyle research is to better understand consumers in order to provide effective communication and marketing (Plummer). Lifestyle is influenced by many factors including age, education, socio-economic status, income, wealth, presence of children, marital status, location, values, and hobbies (Beamish, Goss, & Emmel, 2001), and is developed and changed through the dynamics of living in a society (Lazer, 1963).…”

“…VALS2™ was developed based on the idea that consumers should be segmented based on enduring personality traits rather than values and lifestyles which change over time (Beamish, Goss, & Emmel, 2001;Riche;SRI Consulting Business Intelligence, n.d.). VALS2™ groups people into eight psychographic segments based on their type of resources (minimal to abundant) and self-orientation (principle, status, or action oriented): actualizers, fulfilled, believers, achievers, strivers, experiencers, makers, and strugglers.…”

Lifestyle is a popular concept used to understand consumers' behaviors; however, the lifestyle concept rarely has been applied to housing studies. Although renting a multifamily dwelling is a non-normative housing choice in the United States, many people prefer to rent multifamily housing units for reasons other than financial.The purpose of this study is to identify the housing preferences of multifamily housing residents as determined by their lifestyles. The model of influences on housing choice was used as a theoretical framework for the study.

Adopting the conservation of resources theory, this research explores the joint influence of multiple factors affecting the choice of housing, an instance of a high involvement product. We develop an innovative Machine Learning approach to identify the most significant set of factors affecting consumers' housing choices. It was found that housing choices were primarily bound by energy resources and secondarily by other personal, conditional, and object resources. The study identified 25 key factors, many of which previous studies have not explored. The new factors include government payments, vehicle possession, time living with children, marriage duration, current location duration, and health conditions. The results suggest that joint effects of factors are more prominent than individual effects in influencing the choice of high‐involvement products. Further, the study suggests that ML methods are more robust than traditional methods and can be applied to analyse other types of high involvement products. The findings can assist real estate investors, policymakers and other stakeholders to understand sophisticated market behaviours to develop better and tailored housing strategies.
