The image and appearance of housing estates and visual composition of buildings, and how the aesthetic aspects affect resident attitudes and behavior concerning the housing environment, are investigated, as well as the impact of some household characteristics on feelings about the aesthetics of housing estates. Data was collected through questionnaires, applied to 374 housing units, structured interviews, physical measurements, and observations of behavior and physical traces. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively, by means of non-parametric statistical tests, such as Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman rank correlation. Results show that aspects associated with the maintenance of dwelling facades dominate the explanations for the external aesthetics being considered satisfactory, while aspects associated with the maintenance of facades together with those associated with visual composition of the facades lead the explanations of those who consider the external aesthetics dissatisfactory. Additionally, it appears that the adopted approach constituted by three levels of aesthetic experience, visual composition, appearance and image, may help to understand the different nature of aesthetics aspects in social housing. Este artigo explora a qualidade estética no interior e exterior de 12 conjuntos habitacionais na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre. A imagem e a aparência dos conjuntos, a composição visual das edificações e como a qualidade estética afeta as atitudes e os comportamentos dos residentes com relação ao ambiente habitacional são investigados, assim como o impacto de algumas características dos moradores sobre as suas avaliações da qualidade estética dos conjuntos. Dados foram coletados por meio de questionários aplicados a 374 unidades habitacionais, entrevistas estruturadas, levantamentos físicos, observações de comportamento e traços físicos. A análise dos dados foi desenvolvida qualitativa e quantitativamente, por meio de testes estatísticos não-paramétricos, tais como Kruskal-Wallis e Spearman. Os resultados mostram que aspectos associados à manutenção das fachadas dominam as explicações para avaliações estéticas positivas delas, enquanto aspectos associados à manutenção das fachadas juntamente com aqueles associados às suas composições visuais lideram as explicações para as avaliações estéticas negativas das fachadas. Adicionalmente, parece que a abordagem caracterizada por três níveis de experiência estética, composição visual, aparência e imagem, pode auxiliar na compreensão da natureza distinta dos aspectos estéticos da habitação de interesse social.
