The main objective of the study is to examine the determinants of urban housing choice in Debre Berhan town, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia. For this purpose, the study used both primary and secondary data. The data were obtained from 395 household heads selected from four kebeles. A multinomial logit model was used to examine the determinants of urban housing choice. Accordingly, it is found that age, gender, educational level, the price of the housing, years of residence, income of the head and access to credit are the major the determinants of urban housing choice. This study suggests that town administration, zonal and the regional governments should work together with financial institution to provide housing loans to the households so as to construct or purchase house.
