Abstract: Abstract This article presents the study of the characteristics and infrastructure of houses inhabited by children and their satisfaction with them. It embraces a sample of 580 12-year-olds children, living in the district of General Pueyrredón (PGP), an area located in the Southeast of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This survey was carried out in the framework of the research project acknowledged by the LOMASCyT Program of the National University of Lomas de Zamora, Argentina and developed by the UNICOM-Institute of Social Studies, of the School of Social Sciences. Specifically the core of this research considered the study and analysis of the following variables of children’s lives, namely: the number of rooms in their houses, the number of bathrooms in their houses, the accessibility to own or shared room and own or shared bed for sleeping, having a space of their own to study, having water service, light and sewers in their houses, and the level of satisfaction with the house they inhabit.
