The purpose of this study was to determine which design amenities were considered important to residents selecting rehabilitated neighborhoods. Two types of neighborhoods were selected, each representing a different redevelopment method: the Individual Rehabilitated Neighborhood and the Redevelopment Corporation Neighborhood. A mail questionnaire containing 22 design items was sent to 600 households. A t‐test was performed on the responses to determine significance. The Redevelopment Corporation Neighborhood residents were more interior design oriented, while the Individual Rehabilitated Neighborhood residents were more exterior and community design oriented. This led to the conclusion that residents select a neighborhood based on the person‐environment fit.
