habitable
Suitable for living
Habitable means fit to live in.
A habitable dwelling has the basic requirements for human occupation—shelter, water, heat: The apartment was barely habitable.
The word often appears in legal or scientific contexts: housing codes define habitable conditions, and astronomers search for habitable planets capable of supporting life.
