Abstract

This paper assesses the determinants of households’ residential location decision in the Adenta Municipality. Using a total sample of 194 respondents selected from the 18 communities in the Municipality, a multi-stage sampling procedure and google-earth images; the paper concludes that neighbourhood welfare, accessibility attributes, comfort levels of the households and the overall housing conditions are the major determinants which influence household residential location choices in the study area. The paper recommends among others that neighbourhood characteristics such as security of vicinity, proximity to access road, house types, proximity to work and noise levels should be given the necessary attention in the development of urban communities such as Adenta in Ghana.
