    Is it more common in some areas vs others? I’ve never heard the term used in real life, but I understood it from context.

        Makes sense. I haven’t seen an apartment with an elevator in quite a while, so perhaps the distinction just doesn’t matter here. Most apartment complexes here are 3 floors or less, and I think there’s a cap at 5 floors or something for regular construction because the only ones bigger than that are the massive towers downtown.
