Abstract

This paper fills in the research gap about understanding to what extent does commercial co-living match user preferences of young adults in The Netherlands. The existing literature primarily focuses on analysing user choices, while this study examines the revealed preferences of young adults specifically regarding co-living arrangements. By conducting a discrete choice experiment and traditional comparison, this investigation shows which commercial co-living attributes are preferred by young adults in The Netherlands and assesses the overlap between the user demand and built supply. These findings can be widely used by governmental bodies or other public entities and private sector stakeholders such as real estate developers to study the commercial co-living market and understand how to improve housing situations by understanding people's preferences.
