Abstract: This article aims to understand residential location choice mechanisms, in a context marked by a rise of suburbanization, a growth in mobility and an increase in urban segregation. We start by providing an overview of the literature on the determinants of residential location choice in an urban area. We then proceed to estimate a multinomial logit model with sample of alternatives in order to measure the effects related to market constraints and household preferences for urban amenities in Lyon urban area. The data come primarily from the 1999 general census and the Sirene database (basic business data). The accessibility to employment is always decisive in the choice of location, but the quality of social environment is more important.
