This study is about horizontal condominiums, an habitational type which has been spreading all over the world. These residences have significantly transformed the dynamic of production of both the urban fabric and landscape, also presenting major changes in the ways of living and existing in the city. The main reasons that are responsible for their expansion are the search for more safety and a better life quality. Thus, this research aims at understanding the principal reasons that have caused the expansion of these enterprises in the city of João Pessoa, in addition to delineating the profile of their residents and observing the positive and negative aspects of this phenomenom. The principal outcomes of this research show that the horizontal condominiums in João Pessoa are mostly residential, of great prominence and they tend to be centralized in peripheral areas, locateds in the southeast part of the coast. The investigation also indicates that his residents are from the middle class and upper middle class and that they have migrated from apartments to condominiums in search of more safety, the possibility of living in houses and the chance of having more contact with nature. It was also observed that this habitational type has been disseminating in João Pessoa and has been highly accepted by most of its users. On the other hand, among its mentioned problems, it was stressed the low quality of the local trading and services, the difficulty in accessing the condominium and the social segregation related to the upper classes. The positive and negative aspects of the local condominiums are similar to the ones found by scholars in other Brazilian and foreign cities. Moreover, the research registers that these enterprises tend to become, at the same time, solutions to individual demands and damages to the social and physical structures of the city.
