private residences
Where people live
Private residences are homes where people live, as opposed to commercial buildings, public spaces, or institutional facilities.
The phrase appears most often in legal, regulatory, or real estate contexts: The ordinance prohibits short-term rentals in private residences.
It emphasizes that a dwelling belongs to and is occupied by particular individuals rather than being open to the public.
