The paper describes the very first effort to examine and verify teleworkers' current physical environment in smaller scales and in broader aspects that have been neglected in existing studies. Through person-to-person and written surveys with Connecticut state government teleworkers, some significances of their physical environment were verified; In smaller scale of municipalities, they live significantly closer to the centers of their towns than national average, while in large scale, they clearly tend to live either in suburbs or in country side than in urban area. After they started telework, their neighborhood reliance in shopping and in service use noticeably increased shrinking the share of down town. Their houses are no larger than the average houses in the area, yet with their household size, majority of them can afford independent offices or large enough space to accommodate dedicated office space. At the same time, formal office, both as a room and as furniture setting, is not always desired. Some of these tendencies also found to correlate with their work-life factors such as telework frequency, their motivation to telework or their new way of time use.
