The purpose of this paper is to make clear habitation characteristic of merchant family who work in the neighboring shopping district. In this paper, we cleared that the habitation characteristic is influenced by the local characteristic where shop exists, the age which shop is opened and the right of shop-ownership. But the desire to live in the neighborhood is not influenced by such things. So we have concluded that it can be said that it is necessary to consider about various types and systems of self-owned shop, and also consider about attractive place of residence in the neighborhood.
