| Sumario: | The research explores residential strategies and lifestyles of middle-class households who acquired land and built housing in low-density housing developments between 2007 and 2020 in the town of Arroyo Leyes -conurbation of the city of Santa Fe-. The evidence obtained through interviews with their heads of households confirms that, for the most part, when affordable housing opportunities are available, these households prioritize homeownership, often at the expense of urban centers, services, communal amenities and proximity to family connections. This leads to the development of lifestyles characterized by complex mobility patterns that extend beyond daily commutes between home and work, encompassing intensive use of the central city for tasks such as provisioning, care, education, and leisure, among others. These conditions create a scenario of "rooftops without places," forming new "bedroom communities" that hinder the rootedness of these households and contribute to their ongoing consideration of returning to the central city, even as renters. |
