mixed use

Residential and commercial

Mixed use describes real estate or zoning that combines multiple purposes—typically residential, commercial, and sometimes industrial—within a single building or development.

A mixed-use building might have retail shops on the ground floor with apartments above.

The approach reduces car dependency and creates walkable neighborhoods: The city council approved a mixed-use development near the train station.
