The study examined residents' satisfaction with public housing in Lagos, Nigeria, with view of determining residents' satisfaction level with housing units and location; assessing residents' satisfaction level with attributing factors of quality public housing; and identifying problems affecting public housing. Questionnaire survey was used to collect data within five purposively selected public housing estates in Lagos. Systematic Sampling Technique was employed to administer 100 questionnaires among household representatives. Findings on residents’ satisfaction with housing units and location shows that majority were dissatisfied with space allocation; quality of services; and infrastructural facilities. Findings on residents' satisfaction with attributing components revealed that majority of respondents were dissatisfied with most physical, social/behavioral, public facilities/functional, and timing components, while majority were satisfied with most economic and environmental components. Findings also revealed that poor structural design and maintenance policy; unstable power supply and poor parking lot; and poor drainage and sewage systems are major problems affecting public housing residents. There is need for the government of the nation to ensure affordable accommodation to citizen irrespective of their location in the country.
