abstract="To improve community appearance, most cities in the United States have implemented design review, but empirical studies of design review are rare. Key issues are the effects on preferences of: (1) design review per se; (2) common design review principles such as visual bulk; (3) common demographic factors such as geo- graphical location, age, gender, ethnic or political affiliations; and (4) the personality factor of sensation seek- ing. The present article describes a preference experiment on 35 houses as judged by 82 respondents in two different cities. <br><br>RESULTS indicate that design review, bulk, demographic and personality factors account for much less preference than did the architectural components of style or individual buildings.
