primary residences

Where people live

Primary residences is the plural of primary residence, the home where someone actually lives most of the time.

The term appears mainly in legal, tax, and real estate contexts, where it distinguishes the main dwelling from vacation homes or investment properties: Capital gains exclusions apply only to primary residences.

Rules often require occupying the property for a minimum period to qualify.
