The study examined the relationships between housing satisfaction and structure types, building features, housing conditions, neighborhood facilities, management, and demographic characteristics among a sample of 1,089 households, randomly selected from residents living in public housing in five districts in Abuja, Nigeria. The public housing units were constructed by the federal government and supervised by the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA). The data for the study were collected through self-administered questionnaires, which measured residents ‘ level of satisfaction on a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance and multiple regression.The majority of the households were larger than four persons, headed by males from 31 to 40 years of age. Most of the residents were renters, educated, and employees of federal agencies. Significant positive relationships were found between housing satisfaction and the various housing characteristics, and housing management. The mean satisfaction score for residents of the room units differed significantly (p < 0.05) from the mean satisfaction score of residents in the other structure types. Based on the regression analysis, the variable that contributed most to the explanation of variance in overall housing satisfaction was housing management. Also, all the five single-item satisfaction measures contributed significantly to the prediction of housing satisfaction except demographic/socioeconomic characteristics
