The difference between Category I, Category 2 and Category 3 residential land

Legal analysis: 1. First-class residential land, the national standard is R1, which means: land with complete municipal public facilities, complete layout, good environment, and mainly low-rise residential buildings.

It can be simply understood as a villa. The number of floors of independent houses is basically 3 or less. The average building area per household is 42 to 45 square meters. It is suitable for employees of newly built factories and mines. For employee residences in remote and remote areas, the average building area per household can be higher than this number, but it must not exceed 50 square meters.

2. The second category of residential land, the national standard is R2, which means: land with complete municipal public facilities, complete layout, good environment, and mainly multi- and medium-high-rise residential buildings.

It can be simply understood as multi-story or small high-rise, generally less than 12 floors. This type of land is widely distributed throughout the city and occupies a dominant position in residential land. According to the trend of increasingly tight land supply and the principle of intensive land use, the possibility of building unit housing with less than 3 floors in the future is basically non-existent.

3. The third category of residential land, the national standard is R3, which means: land with complete municipal public facilities, incomplete layout, average environment, or mixed residential and industrial land. It mainly accommodates single employees of enterprises or single teachers and students of schools. This type of residential buildings often appear as ancillary supporting facilities in industrial areas, storage areas and schools. The biggest difference between a single dormitory and an ordinary unit-style residence is that there is no independent kitchen.
