The differences start with the way residential properties are used compared to commercial properties.
Residential refers to buildings that are designed to be lived in.
Residential includes:
- Single Family, Detached Homes
- Duplex, Triplex, Fourplex
- Townhouse
- Some housing co-operatives
- Condominiums

Commercial buildings are much more varied than residential properties. While residential properties are exclusively used for private living quarters, commercial refers to any property used for business activities.
Commercial refers to hospitals, assembly plants, storage warehouses, shopping centers, office spaces, or any other location for a business enterprise.
Popular types of commercial property include the following:
- Land Investments
- Large-Scale Multifamily Housing
- Office Buildings
- Retail Space
- Storage Units
- Industrial Buildings
Commercial and Residential properties have significant key differences including Building Materials, Codes, Cost, Construction Equipment, and Construction time.
