Re: Question about MLS abbreviations

Ok I will take a guess....I could be way off but I think it might mean

"Party driveway" meaning large driveway which can accommodate many cars.

I tried. Chat Icon

Re: Question about MLS abbreviations

It could be a mistype as I've seen lots of those - it could mean partial driveway.

There are a few realtors on this board - one of them may be able to answer for certainty.

I thought so, too, but so many of the listings have this posted.

Nope, not a typo. It does mean party driveway but unfortunately not in the way another poster thought.

A party driveway means there is a single driveway for multiple (though usually only 2) residences. So, essentially, you share your driveway with other people. You may have your own garage or room toward the back of your house where you may park your car but the actual driveway is shared.

Are you looking in queens or bklyn? that's where these are the most common.
