What is a property type?

A **property type** refers to the classification of a property based on its primary use or purpose. Property types are typically categorized into **residential**, **commercial**, **industrial**, and **land**. Here’s a breakdown of common property types:

1. **Residential Property**

   Properties are designed for people to live in, either individually or in groups. Common residential property types include:

   - **Single-family home**: A standalone house designed for one family.

   - **Multi-family home**: A building with more than one unit, like a duplex (two units) or triplex (three units).

   - **Condominium (Condo)**: Individual units within a larger building or complex, with shared common areas.

   - **Townhouse**: A multi-level home attached to adjacent units on one or both sides.

   - **Cooperative (Co-op)**: A building owned by a corporation, where residents own shares in the corporation rather than the individual unit.

   - **Apartment**: A rental unit within a larger building, usually part of a larger complex.

2. **Commercial Property**

   Property used for business or income-generating activities. Common commercial property types include:

   - **Office buildings**: Spaces used for business activities, ranging from small offices to large corporate headquarters.

   - **Retail spaces**: Shops, malls, and storefronts where goods and services are sold.

   - **Hotels**: Lodging businesses that offer accommodation and, in some cases, additional services like dining or events.

   - **Restaurants**: Properties specifically designed for food service businesses.

3. **Land**

   Undeveloped or vacant land may be used for agricultural, recreational, or future development purposes. Types of land property include:

   - **Residential land**: Land designated for residential development.

   - **Commercial land**: Land designated for commercial or business use.

   - **Agricultural land**: Farmland used for growing crops or raising livestock.

   - **Recreational land**: Land used for leisure activities, such as parks or nature reserves.

4. **Mixed-Use Property**

   Properties that combine two or more types of use, typically residential and commercial. Examples include:

   - **Live-work spaces**: Units that combine living quarters with workspaces, often for artists or small businesses.

   - **Mixed-use buildings**: Properties that have residential units on upper floors and commercial spaces (like shops or offices) on the ground floor.

The type of property significantly influences its market value, zoning regulations, and intended buyers or renters.
