Car-free neighborhoods offer a possible approach to deal with climate goals and the increasing demand for space. The preferences and choices for car-free living and sustainable ransportation have not been investigated appropriately in suburban areas. This study presents results on how neighborhood characteristics, attitudes, socio-demographic factors and current mobility references influence the willingness of potential residents to live in a car-free neighborhood and adapt their mobility choices. To gather the data, an online survey was conducted, which resulted in 145 respondents. Overall, 36.45% of the respondents was enthusiastic about car-free living. Middle-aged women with a high level of education and a single-person household are most likely to belong to the class of Sustainable Mobility Enthusiasts, while older residents with a lower level of education are least likely to choose for a car-free neighborhood. As the population consists of different groups, it is recommended to create a tailored policy based on the needs of the population. A successful approach will require either opening the neighborhood to more like-minded residents from outside Barendrecht, or adjusting the concept to accommodate local preferences.
