residential property

Place to live

Residential property is real estate used for housing—homes, apartments, condominiums, and similar dwellings where people live.

The term distinguishes living spaces from commercial or industrial property: The zoning allows only residential property in this neighborhood.

In legal and financial contexts, residential property carries specific tax implications and lending requirements distinct from other real estate categories.
