It seems that the promotion of parent-child proximity residence in a suburban new town (NT) can help the NT become a sustainable town where people of multiple generations can live. This study aims to examine children’s trend of choosing a place of residence near their parents’ house, and the characteristics of their parent-child interactions. We conducted a questionnaire survey on the residents of Hokusetsu-Sanda NT. The results suggest that children who want to live in a rented house prefer to live in the area around an NT. The results also indicate that children tend to live in the area around an NT, while considering its proximity to their parents in the NT. Further, it is shown that the purpose and frequency of a parent-child interaction differ on the basis of the age of the parent and the child.
