Residential vs commercial property

Content: usually built on a single lot without having to share space with other dwellings. Multi-family houses: usually range in size from two to four units, such as a duplex or a four-plex, but anything larger than four units is considered commercial property. Note that apartments are only residential property if they have fewer than five units. Additionally, locations like hotels, campgrounds, and other temporary living places are not included in the definition of residential property. These types of property are better categorized as commercial real estate. What are zoning laws? Both residential and commercial properties are governed by zoning laws. Residential zoning laws may limit the types and numbers of homes that can be built or placed in certain areas. Residential zoning laws may also regulate things such as noise in the area, types of animals allowed at residences, and whether you can run a business out of your home.
