Universal houses included the well-planned elements which make the house can be resided by all family members and it incorporates the principle of universal design in providing a comfortable and secure house. The aim of this research is to study on the preferences in owning residential property among the persons with disabilities in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. This research focused on the main preferences of the housing's location, design and price among the persons with disabilities in owning residential property and the level of satisfaction towards the current location, design and of their residential property. This research was carried out by applying the quantitative approach whereby a questionnaires survey were distributed to 800 of respondents among the persons with disabilities with the main focused is on two categories of disabilities; the physical and visual impairment. The sample size were determined by using Yamane 1973 formula and the surveyed were distributed at NGOs of PwDs, shelter's homes, PwDs seminar and dialogue and also during the tournament of Paralympic. The outcome of this study shows that the PwDs would prefer houses with price range under RM100, 000, encourages the low physical effort and also can be easily access by public transport. It concludes by providing eight (8) recommendation which are to provide special housing subsidies, appointment of potential financial for housing loan, provide “Rent to Own House Program”, “Help to Buy: Shared Ownership” scheme, to provide at least the minimum requirement of universal design in all housing unit, home modification scheme, standardization on the price of low – cost house and also to provide 'One Stop Centre' for housing facilities. This research also will be the reference for providing more information and leading to a better policy formulation as well as a healthier development of housing industry for the persons with disabilities.
