residential zone

Where homes cluster

A residential zone is an area designated by local zoning laws primarily for housing rather than commercial or industrial use.

Zoning regulations typically specify what types of dwellings are permitted—single-family homes, apartments, or mixed housing—and may restrict building height, lot size, and density.

The property is in a residential zone, so you can't open a business there.
