apartment building

Multi-unit dwelling

An apartment building is a structure containing multiple residential units, each a separate dwelling with its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom.

The units share common areas like hallways, stairwells, and sometimes amenities: a six-story apartment building with a gym in the basement.

In British English, the equivalent is typically called a block of flats.
