residential areas
Where people live
Residential areas are parts of a city or town where people live, as opposed to commercial, industrial, or agricultural zones.
The term appears most often in urban planning and real estate contexts: The new highway would cut through established residential areas.
Zoning laws typically restrict what can be built in residential areas to protect the character of neighborhoods.
