The Housing Older People Would Choose: A Review of Selected New Zealand Research

This report has been developed to think about the ‘housing older people would choose’ by reviewing research data from New Zealand primary research into older people’s housing choices and patterns of residential movement. It focuses on what the platform of research tells us about: the characteristics and amenities that older people consider important in their housing and living environment; the reasons older people give for wanting or needing to move; the actual reasons why older people move; and, the patterns of older people’s actual housing choices.
