Abstract

<p>Condominiums have been a major tenure status in metropolises. Exploiting a detailed questionnaire survey for buyers of newly-built condominiums, we investigate (i) the recent preferences on residential environment across the Tokyo metropolitan area and (ii) the sustainability of environmental value of the place over time. First, we find that new residents from outside of the city tend to put an emphasis on factors like “living environment” of the neighborhood (such as commercial facilities), and that the trend is recently becoming more prominent in the suburbs. The criterion serves as a critical determinant to finally choose the specific property/location, among the factors initially taken into consideration. Second, the spatial distribution of the subjective residential environment shows that the recently preferred factors are concentrated in some parts of the suburbs. While the relative strength of the neighborhood remains stable for the long time for “natural environment” and “educational environment,” factors gained through development process like “living environment” and “access to the station” tend to lose their values quickly.</p>
