About this term

Mixed-use zoning encourages walkable neighborhoods with housing, retail, offices, and services together. Development typically requires careful planning and often applies to urban infill projects.

Pro Tip

Mixed-use properties often outperform single-use alternatives because multiple revenue streams diversify income. These developments often appreciate faster than traditional residential-only neighborhoods.

Example

A downtown mixed-use zone allowing ground-floor retail with residential units above.
