This study set out to determine factors which influence tenants’ choice of residential location within Minna urban. The study revealed that preferences depend on accessibility to building and to other opportunities, neighbourhood characteristic such as physical attractiveness, neighbourhood security, socio-economic and ethnic/religious factors. Level of significance of these factors were tested across the different areas under study, That is, Bosso, Tunga and Flayout representing high, medium and low density areas respectively. Table value for Bosso and tunga, is 0.506 which is greater than the calculated value of 0.137, hence no significant. Table value for Bosso and Flayout is 0.506 which is greater than the calculated value of -0.123, thus the level of significance is negative. While for Tunga and Flayout the calculated value is 0.512 is greater than the table value of 0.506 which shows relationship between factors influencing choice of location in these two areas.
