abodes
Places to dwell
Abodes is the plural of abode, a somewhat formal or literary word for a place where someone lives.
The term appears in legal language (right of abode) and in phrases with an elevated tone: their humble abodes, an abode fit for royalty.
In casual speech, abodes often carries a touch of irony or affectation.
