A sojourner is an individual who visits or lives in another country for a brief period with no intention of permanently remaining in the host country. Based on a model by Marans and Rodgers (Metropolitan America in Contemporary Perspective, 1975, 299), sojourners' residential satisfaction is hypothesized to be dependent on their perception of particular housing aspects, which is affected by their personal characteristics. The purpose of this study was to examine the residential satisfaction of Korean sojourners in one city in the United States. Using a mixed methods design, cultural housing differences were identified through 10 in‐depth interviews and data from 235 surveys. The results indicated that perceived cultural housing differences significantly influenced physical housing perception, neighborhood perception, and attachment, which significantly influenced residential satisfaction. Future research should include a wide variety of ethnic groups in an attempt to support and extend the findings of this study
