The results show the following points: First, residential management and supporting services have a significant effect on the improvement of residents’ well-being, with each additional unit, the well-being of residents will rise by 1.83 times and 1.20 times, respectively.

Thirdly, real estate transactions, property rights management and individual characteristics have negligible effect on residents’ well-being.
