urban living
Downtown residential existence
Urban living is life in a city or densely populated area, with all its attendant conditions—proximity to neighbors, access to public transit, walkable streets, cultural amenities, and typically smaller living spaces at higher cost.
The phrase often carries lifestyle connotations: Urban living isn't for everyone, but I love being able to walk to restaurants.
It contrasts implicitly with suburban or rural alternatives.
