residential parking

Home-adjacent vehicle storage

Residential parking refers to on-street parking spaces reserved for residents of a particular neighborhood or building, typically requiring a permit.

Cities use residential parking programs to prevent commuters or visitors from monopolizing spaces near homes: The neighborhood has residential parking restrictions from 8 AM to 6 PM.

The term also describes parking facilities—garages, lots, or driveways—associated with housing rather than commercial properties.
