residential use

Living in dwellings

Residential use describes property zoned or intended for people to live in, as opposed to commercial, industrial, or agricultural purposes.

The term appears frequently in real estate, zoning regulations, and lease agreements: The building is approved for residential use only.

A property's designated use affects what activities are permitted there—running a business from a home may violate residential use restrictions.
