This article aims to develop and analyse a model for the well-being of the people living in the peri urban area based on the housing constructs. A total of 1000 respondents consisting of heads of household living in the Extended Metropolitan Region (EMR) of the Klang -Langat Valley were randomly selected as the study samples. The data were analysed using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) method, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings showed that only three sub-constructs (i) facilities, (ii) area selection, and (iii) security out of nine items of housing constructs with high validity values in which the CR exceeded 0.7. These findings showed that the measurement model built met the measurement criteria for measuring the well-being of the suburbs. The implication of this study is an important opportunity for people living in the rural areas as it plays role in improving their living standards. The growth in the housing aspect shows a positive growth for the development of the suburban areas in ensuring people's well-being.
