high-rise living

Elevated urban residence

High-rise living is residence in a tall apartment building, typically one with many floors served by elevators.

The term often carries connotations of urban density, shared amenities, and vertical community: High-rise living isn't for everyone, but I love the views.

It may suggest either luxury condominiums or public housing projects, depending on context.
