Abstract In the United States and across Europe, research on second—and multiple—homeownership for vacation and leisure use has traditionally analysed the in-migration of urban residents into rural locales. Indeed, this line of inquiry has been warranted for many years because of the high concentration of urban dwellers who have sought second homes in natural amenity-rich rural destinations. However, drawing on interviews with 61 second homeowners who purchased property for vacation or leisure use, this paper unravels an empirical puzzle. While second homeownership has often been found to be an urban-to-rural phenomenon, this analysis uncovers a preponderance of second homeowners who purchase secondary residences in urban locales, as well as suburbanites who purchase secondary residences in either rural or urban destinations. To makes sense of these findings, I suggest that empirical and theoretical attention to second homeownership requires a twenty-first century reappraisal to account for both the heterogeneity of second homeownership as well as the larger socio-economic conditions under which it materialises.

城市和乡村的第二家园：对二十一世纪度假屋的重新评价

摘要 在美国和整个欧洲，关于度假和休闲用途的第二次和多次拥有房屋的研究传统上分析了城市居民向农村地区的迁移。事实上，由于城市居民高度集中，他们在自然设施丰富的乡村目的地寻找第二套住房，因此多年来一直有理由进行这种调查。然而，通过对 61 位购买房产用于度假或休闲用途的第二房主的访谈，本文解开了一个实证难题。虽然人们经常发现第二套住房是一种城乡之间的现象，但该分析发现，在城市地区购买二级住宅的二套房主以及在农村或城市目的地购买二级住宅的郊区居民占优势。
