The Place Where Home Owners Are Happiest
Home owners in San Francisco and other West Coast cities are the happiest in the country, according to HomeAdvisor’s Homeowner Happiness Index, which recently surveyed 18,000 home owners across 36 metros in the U.S. Meanwhile, home owners in the Midwest and on the East Coast are the least happy.

The nation’s happiest home owners reside in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, St. Louis, and Seattle. The country’s least happy home owners live in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee.
“A home owner’s quality of life is more likely to be dependent on their community and access to important attractions and services than it is on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in their home,” says psychotherapist Karen Ruskin, HomeAdvisor’s happiness expert. “Our research shows that home owners are happiest in urban cities with good weather, an active culture, arts scene, and higher income levels.”
The survey found that residents who were happiest tended to be more upbeat because they said they had practical commutes and easy access to attractions and services as well as community diversity and safety. The study also found that consumers care less about the square footage of a home than its style, personalized design, and natural light. Also, consumers surveyed said that convenience to retail and restaurants is an important factor for them in being happy where they live.
