residential properties

Houses and apartments

Residential properties are buildings or land used for housing rather than commercial or industrial purposes.

The term encompasses houses, apartments, condominiums, and similar dwellings where people live.

In real estate and legal contexts, the phrase distinguishes homes from office buildings, retail spaces, and factories: The developer converted the warehouse into residential properties.
