housing unit
Place to live
A housing unit is a single dwelling space designed for separate living quarters—an apartment, house, condo, or mobile home.
The term appears in census data, real estate, and urban planning contexts where precision matters: The development will add 200 housing units to the neighborhood.
Each unit has its own entrance and basic facilities for independent living.
