Chestnut-flanked White-eye's typical habitat encompasses densely vegetated environments, primarily inhabiting deep mixed deciduous and coniferous forests. They prefer regions with an undergrowth of groves, shrubs, and thickets, commonly found alongside poplars, alders, and willows bordering rivers, streams, and lakes.
