As baby boomers reach the age of retirement, the number of retirees is expected to increase rapidly and they desire a healthy and leisurely late life in a more pleasant environment. In response to the demand, senior towns are being constructed and they are responded very positively by middle‐aged people with their retirement ahead. Thus, local self‐governing bodies are promoting senior towns actively, but internal and external conditions are not favorable including the slump in the real estate market. Thus, in order to activate the construction of senior towns, this study identified classes of potential residents and analyzed their needs and factors related to their preference for senior town. These works are expected to derive directions for efficient development, to provide basic information for research on future retirees’ requirements, and to contribute to senior town projects in progress.
