A survey applied to the 18% of families who inhabit the largest social housing complex ever built in recent years showed high levels of residential satisfaction, frequent commuting movements and a positive evaluation of the natural environment. The most severe problems faced by residents are unemployment during the winter, as well as the lack of urban amenities. Although the neighbors are not engaged in formal participation procedures, interviews conducted with community leaders allowed to infer that existing social organizations are able to represent the local government the problems faced by the community and press for solutions. These elements suggest that the construction of social housing complexes near tourist-oriented cities and towns constitutes an option to rede? ne the basic criteria for the allocation of social housing provided that three conditions are met: stable employment, strong community organizations and convenient mobility conditions to the core of the city life. Este trabajo explora las particularidades que adquiere la segregación espacial de la vivienda social en la Ciudad de Pucón, un balneario de elite localizado en el sur de Chile. Una encuesta aplicada al 18% de las familias residentes en el mayor conjunto de vivienda social construido por el Estado en los últimos años mostró altos niveles de satisfacción residencial, movimientos pendulares frecuentes, y una valoración positiva del entorno natural. Los problemas más agudos que enfrentan los residentes son el desempleo durante la época invernal y la ausencia de equipamiento comunitario. Se observó que los vecinos de dicho conjunto no se involucran en los procedimientos formales de participación ciudadana. Sin embargo, las entrevistas conducidas con los dirigentes vecinales permitieron colegir que las organizaciones sociales existentes son capaces de representar al gobierno local los problemas que enfrenta la comunidad y presionar por soluciones. Estos antecedentes sugieren que la construcción de complejos de vivienda social en la cercanía de ciudades y pueblos con vocación turística constituye una opción para redefinir los criterios básicos de localización de viviendas sociales, siempre que tres condiciones sean cumplidas: fuentes laborales estables, organizaciones comunitarias fuertes y facilidad de desplazamiento hacia el epicentro de la vida citadina.
