“…For instance, pensioners tend to choose environments that are quieter or close to relatives (Gobillon & Wolff, 2011), while young people who just graduated prefer to live closer to employment opportunities or city centres. Housing characteristics, such as house price, mortgage rates or rent cost (Choudhury & Ayaz, 2015;Olaru et al, 2011;Tillema et al, 2010), housing quality (Molin & Timmermans, 2003;Ozturk & Irwin, 2001), tenure type (Eluru et al, 2008;Frenkel, Bendit, & Kaplan, 2013), and the length of residency (Böheim & Taylor, 2002;Clark, 2013), also play a significant role in residential location choice. Some studies revealed that travel characteristics, such as car ownership (Cervero, 1998;Prashker, Shiftan, & Hershkovitch-Sarusi, 2008) and regular mode preferences (Abraham & Hunt, 1997;Pinjari, Pendyala, Bhat, & Waddell, 2011) have significant effects on housing choices as well.…”
