Abstract
This study analyzes characteristics of householders newly moving in suburban neighborhood districts of detached houses within a decade in Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture. Main findings are as follows. Firstly, the younger householders had originally lived in rented houses near the districts and residents in such districts should be regarded as main purchasers of used detached houses. Secondly, numbers of family members in the younger households are larger than the other households, though they are living in houses which have small number of rooms. Thirdly, the households have more cars to commute and move out to the districts in daily shopping. Finally, their parents or relatives are living in the near districts and feel comfortable to contact them in daily living.
