What term describes real property improved by a dwelling and zoned for single-family or multifamily use?

• A. Commercial Property
• B. Agricultural Land
• C. Residential Land
• D. Mixed-Use Property

Answer: (C)

Think about how real property is classified by its use and zoning. When land has a dwelling on it and the zoning allows housing for either a single family or multiple families, it is described as residential land. The dwelling signals residential use, and the housing zoning confirms the intended purpose is living space.

This rules out commercial property, which is for business activities; agricultural land, which is for farming; and mixed-use property, which accommodates more than one use and isn’t limited to housing. So the term that best fits a parcel with a home and housing zoning is residential land.
