THE BUYERS-DIGGS TEST UDSN UDSH UDLN UDLH The Upscale Hedonist The Downtown Dionysus The Fat Cat The Stylish Slacker You love to indulge in everything the city has to offer—culture, shopping, food. You love having people over, but you also run a tight ship. Those wine bottles will go in the recycling at the end of the night. Woooo! You live party to party and love to go over the top in everything you do. You never stress about keeping everything in perfect order at home —that mess just proves you’re living life to the fullest. You like to surround yourself with the finer things, but you’re not hanging from the chandelier. You’re more likely to spend big on a wireless home entertainment center than a caterer for a big blowout. You might have spent good money on your furniture, but you’re not going to freak out if you spill some takeout on it. You’re laid back about cleaning, price tags, and life in general. BDSN BDSH BDLN BDLH The Wolf of Sprawl Street The Residential Decadent The Zen & Den Master The Suburban Sprawler To you, the good life isn’t necessarily about city views and 4-star restaurants, it’s about backyard BBQs, fire pits, and hot tubs. You love to have fun, and you want the space (and the yard) to do it right. Sure you live in the suburbs, but that doesn’t mean you’re uptight. You’ll use that pool to throw a pool party and invite all the neighbors. Cleaning up the next day? That’s a different story. You’re all about the good life, but you like to keep it chill. All you want is a nice place with a good view from the deck, some quality whiskey, and a little peace and quiet. Cram your 50-inch HD flatscreen and pool table into a city studio? Not a chance. You’ll take the suburbs any day, so you can spread out, kick back, and enjoy your creature comforts in style. UFSN UFSH UFLN The Partying Purist The Budget-Conscious Bon Vivant The Unpretentious Urbanite All you need to have a good time is your friends. No need for a flashy hipster pad—you’re all about substance over style. And the less fancy stuff you have, the less you have to worry about wrecking it! You love filling your place with cool people—but you could care less about filling it with cool stuff. For you, chairs are places for your friends to sit, not “home decor,” and wine glasses were meant to be occasionally broken. Your home is your personal respite from the city rat race. You’ve got all the basics to keep it comfortable and tidy, but you don’t feel the need to deck it out. Why buy a new bed when that futon from college is still going strong? Your home is the urban oasis where you sleep, keep your stuff, and watch TV. Beyond that, you don’t give it much thought. You are the least likely to notice if your place gets robbed. BFSN BFSH BFLN BFLH The Suburbanite Socialite The Backyard Party-Starter The Lounge Lizard The Low-Key Homebody You’ve got a tight-knit group of friends, and don’t need to blow cash at hipster bars in the city to have a good time. You always clean your place before people come over, but you don’t stress that the coffee table is cracked. Your bar in the basement has seen some things, but you couldn’t tell by looking at it. You like nothing more than having good people around and could care less about having the latest TV or serving the finest charcuterie. You’ll gladly leave the lawn mowing for another day; fun comes first, second, third, and last. One of the great things about getting away from the city is not feeling pressured to always be doing something. You’d easily trade the cramped, noisy urban life for a place you can spread out, make your own, and just hang out in. You are The Dude. Your place isn’t fancy, and half the time it isn’t even clean—but it is private and maybe you’ve got a rug that pulls it all together. Rich, pretentious people annoy and confuse you. D F S L DELUXIST: You think of your home as an extension of your personal style. Spending money on your living space isn’t frivolous; it’s an investment in your comfort and happiness. FRUGALIST: You’ll choose function over form. Why blow cash on an expensive couch that’s just a vehicle for you and your potato chips? Your home gets the job done and that’s all there is to it. SOCIAL BUTTERFLY: Your mantra is “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” You see your home more as a gathering spot than a personal sanctuary, and you unwind by being social rather than seeking downtime. LONE WOLF: You like to chill. Your ideal weeknight is more likely to involve Netflix than beer pong. Your home is where you can unwind and wear sweatpants—without shame and without underpants. N H U B NEAT FREAK: You get a lot of satisfaction from keeping your place on point. In fact, you secretly like doing the dishes. When your place feels organized, you feel at peace. HOT MESS: You believe life is too short to waste it bleaching the bathtub. You’ve got better things to do, and honestly, you prefer a place that feels a little lived in (and sometimes a lot lived in). URB: You want to be in the center of it all, and are willing to sacrifice a little peace, quiet, and green space to get it. The suburbs would crush your soul and you need that soul to sing karaoke. BURB: You’ve always dreamed of having a backyard and some space to spread out. Living downtown is not a priority when you can hone your cornhole game whenever you please.
