inhabitable
Suitable for dwelling
Inhabitable means suitable for living in—a place where people can reside.
Despite appearances, it's synonymous with habitable, not its opposite: The renovations made the old farmhouse inhabitable again.
The negative form is uninhabitable: Rising seas could render coastal cities uninhabitable.
