abandoned house
Empty, neglected home
An abandoned house is a dwelling that has been vacated and left to deteriorate, with no apparent owner maintaining it.
The term evokes images of boarded windows, overgrown yards, and structural decay.
Abandoned houses appear in discussions of urban blight, property values, and occasionally as settings for horror stories or urban exploration: Kids dared each other to spend the night in the abandoned house on Maple Street.
