A residential zone is an area designated primarily for housing and living purposes. These zones are typically characterized by single-family homes, apartments, and townhouses, providing spaces for people to live and raise families. Residential zones often include amenities such as parks, schools, and shopping centers to support the community. Zoning regulations govern residential zones, determining the types of buildings allowed and their density. This helps maintain a certain quality of life and ensures that residential areas are safe and pleasant. Local governments often create these zones to manage urban development and provide a balanced environment for residents.
