A house is a basic shelter. This simple definition of a house has become wider as it assumes a social
status symbol and an economic property value while serving the various inter-linked functions of
protection, neighbourhood, social interactions, community amenities and services, privacy, and
access to work. However, young Malaysian urbanites are feeling restricted by current housing
options as they confront the difficulties of owning a house in urban areas due to the current much
inflated housing prices. This study investigated the housing preferences of urban young people in USJ
1, Subang Jaya. Primary data were gathered from a total of 99 male and female respondents aged 20
to 39 years who were sampled from nine condominiums, apartments and housing parks. The findings
revealed that most young Malaysian urbanites preferred landed housing with more number of
bedrooms to high-rise housing. They strongly preferred to purchase their future house that truly
meets their housing preferences. In terms of location, these young people preferred to live in urban
area so as to be close to their workplace and services. They targeted high priced houses despite their
affordability issues.

The results reveal that financial capability is the factor that most strongly influences the housing
preferences of young civil servants, followed by neighbourhood and location. Young civil servants are
highly inclined to consider the monthly repayment amount as the most important issue when
deciding to buy a house. Furthermore, they prefer to buy a house in a neighbourhood that ensures
high security and protection against crime
