living space
Where you dwell
Living space is the area available for inhabiting—a room, apartment, or house considered in terms of its capacity for comfortable occupation.
The studio apartment offers limited living space but plenty of natural light.
Real estate listings emphasize square footage of living space.
The term can extend to any environment where organisms exist: Urbanization reduces living space for wildlife.
