Residential Property refers to any property that is designed for individuals or families to live in. These properties can range from single-family homes to multi-family properties such as apartment complexes or duplexes. The primary purpose of residential properties is to provide housing rather than to serve a commercial or industrial function.

There are several types of residential properties, including but not limited to:

Single-Family Homes: Standalone houses designed to be occupied by a single family.
Multi-Family Homes: Properties designed to house more than one family. This can range from duplexes, which are designed for two families, to larger apartment buildings with multiple units.
Condominiums: Multi-unit properties where individuals own their specific unit space, but common areas are owned jointly with the other members of the condo association.
Townhouses: Properties that share one or two walls with adjacent properties but typically have their own separate ground floor entrance.
Co-ops: These are similar to condominiums, but instead of owning a specific unit, individuals own shares in a corporation that owns the property. Their share gives them the right to live in a particular unit.
Manufactured or Mobile Homes: Prefabricated homes that are often on leased land.

From an investment standpoint, residential properties are typically purchased with the intent of generating rental income or capital appreciation, or a combination of both. The residential real estate market can be influenced by a variety of factors including interest rates, economic growth, job market conditions, and demographics, among others.
