description In Algeria, family’s residential preference for a single house is widely analysed and established in research works. However, families’ migration from single-family home to collective housing has been observed in recent years. This situation appears unusual in the sense that these dwellers have lived, at the first place, in apartment and then have made the choice to settle in a single-family house, so-called “villa”, which they considered as to be the final step in their residential movement. What is behind this turnaround?In this regard, this paper focuses on the assumption that the transformations in socio-economic context, family composition and lifestyles have reversed the tendency and brought a new penchant for the apartment. It defines the term “villa” and exposes the context of its emergence. Likewise, it examines the factors, which have influenced its large expansion then its decline in favour of the apartment in collective residence. The analysis method is based on a series observations and interviews with residents and real estate agencies in Maraval and Gambetta neighbourhoods in Oran.
