residential neighborhoods
Where people live
Residential neighborhoods are areas of a city or town primarily devoted to housing rather than commerce or industry.
The phrase often carries connotations of quiet streets, single-family homes, and family-friendly environments: Property values in residential neighborhoods have increased dramatically.
Zoning laws typically restrict what businesses can operate in residential neighborhoods.
