Abstract
Human social and community satisfaction has become vital among the local residents. This study examines the factor of neighbourhood choice and preference in a local community in the Ondo State, Nigeria. The study implored local residents’ perception via 150 structured questionnaires. The findings showed that local residents’ choice of environment hinged on the factor of safety, socio-economic and resident’s culture. Thus, the choice of the local community might not be the same with the urban residents.
