As long as there is a guarantee of indefinite habitability, (i.e. atmosphere, arable land, fresh water, etc.) I would say yes. I believe there is an innate desire in humanity to explore and settle in new areas. Humans migrated out of a small region of Africa and inhabited even the remotest islands of Earth in prehistoric times. It is simply human.
Personally, I think it links to that desire for simpler times, a slower more long-term vision, as opposed to the fast-paced, ruthless modern corporate life. You don't need to be a billionaire if you just have open land to build a home on and start a family.
