subdivision

Planned residential area

A subdivision is a part created by dividing something larger.

In real estate, a subdivision is a tract of land divided into individual lots for housing development, often used to describe the resulting neighborhood itself: They live in a subdivision outside the city.

The term applies broadly to any secondary division: administrative subdivisions of a country, subdivisions of a chapter.
