It is against the background of the intricate relationship between condition of housing, health and affordability of residents that this study investigates housing health conditions and willingness to pay of residents on Jakande Estate, Lagos, Nigeria. This is with view of proffering recommendations that will aid the achievement of affordable healthy buildings in the area. To achieve this, 340 housing units were sampled using a random systematic sampling technique at an interval of every third house in all the streets in the estate. Questionnaire was then administered to the household head of each sampled building. Obtained information such as income, annual rent, willingness to pay (WTP) and perceived satisfaction with housing parameters were subjected to descriptive statistics such as percentages. Also, Likert rating of WTP was done to assess the willingness of residents to pay for building health parameters. It was observed that about 87% of the residents of the estate are civil servants, while about 45% of them earn a monthly income between 50,000 – 100,00. Also, 62% of the residents pay a moderate rental value of 100,000 – 150,000. Residents are willing to pay as high as 30,000 annually for good water (3.5), cross ventilation (2.91) and good ceiling (2.81). However, about 60% of the residents are not satisfied with the level of noise in the estate. Also, about 65% are not satisfied with water and sanitation. The study therefore recommends provision of central boreholes, employment of sanitation workers and community participation for the achievement of affordable healthy buildings in the estate.
