Migration from metropolitan to non-metropolitan areas has become an area of emerging interest for geographers. In recent times research has been directed towards ex-urban migration to coastal communities and increasingly rural localities. This paper considers one small semi-rural community that has been constructed by local and external stakeholders as a site of treechange, a specific type of ex-urban migration. This paper discusses the impact of new arrivals on local housing markets and the potential effect on housing affordability. Housing affordability and stress literatures have focused extensively on metropolitan spaces, excluding the range of consequences that small changes in housing markets can have on existing residents in rural or non-metropolitan places.
