Abstract
Quality housing is the goal of all localities; such assurance reflects a community’s ability to respond to the needs of its citizens, as well as to accommodate growth and economic development. This paper focuses its study on housing quality condition in Ilaro, Nigeria. Assessing the quality of existing housing stock, quality of the housing environment, and the availability of the neighborhood facilities were the major objectives. Data for the study were generated from both primary and secondary sources. 150 households were surveyed using random sampling. Information was obtained on basic socioeconomic, housing and environmental characteristics of the respondent‘s household. This paper suggests the reintroduction of environmental inspectors, enforcing zoning and building regulations, direct government investment in urban infrastructure among others. The paper therefore concludes that if the trend continues sustainable development in the area will remain unattainable.
