Abstract: This study examines the spatial allocation of real estate in an equilibrium model integrating gender identity in the marriage market and the heterogeneity of public services according to housing property ownership. We found that low-skill people buy houses in small cities, with more men buying houses than women. Conversely, people with high ability buy houses in big cities, with more women buying houses than men. The more that the public services are exclusively reserved for house owners, the higher the degree of housing asset allocation for women buying houses in big cities and for men buying houses in small cities.
