family residence

Where relatives live

A family residence is a home where a family lives, as distinguished from rental properties, vacation homes, or commercial buildings.

The term appears most often in legal and real estate contexts: The estate's family residence passed to the eldest daughter.

Tax codes and zoning laws often treat family residences differently from other property types.
