urban apartments

Metropolitan rental units

Urban apartments are residential units in city settings, typically in multi-story buildings.

The phrase emphasizes location and lifestyle—proximity to work, transit, restaurants, and nightlife.

Urban apartments range from cramped studios to luxury high-rises, but the term often implies compact living spaces at premium prices: We toured a few urban apartments before settling on one near the subway.
