Abstract

Abstract Using results from interviews with residents in two highly planned new towns—Reston and Columbia—and two minimally planned but otherwise comparable suburban communities, this report compares several measures of neighborhood and community satisfaction and attraction. At the neighborhood scale, the best predictor of satisfaction was the respondent's rating of maintenance level. At the community scale, extent of community planning in the new towns and accessibility to work and local facilities in all four communities were important components of community appeal and satisfaction.
