city apartment

Metropolitan living space

A city apartment is a residential unit in an urban area, typically in a multi-story building.

The phrase emphasizes location—distinguishing from suburban houses or rural homes: They kept a city apartment for weeknights and a country house for weekends.

City apartments are associated with density, convenience, and higher rents per square foot.
