floormates

Same-level dormitory residents

Floormates are people who live on the same floor of a building, typically in a college dormitory or apartment complex.

The term implies a casual social connection—not quite friends, but familiar faces you encounter in hallways and shared bathrooms: I grabbed dinner with some of my floormates.

Compare with roommate, which indicates sharing the same room.
