apartment dweller

Building floor occupant

An apartment dweller is someone who lives in an apartment rather than a house.

The term often appears in contexts contrasting urban and suburban lifestyles, or when discussing renters versus homeowners: Apartment dwellers don't have to worry about mowing lawns.

The phrase can carry slight condescension when used by homeowners.
