How it's used
Primarily used in real estate and property management contexts to quantify residential units within a building or estate. It functions similarly to a classifier for households, emphasizing the distinct living spaces rather than the people residing within them.
Examples
Do you know how many units there are here?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 伙計, which refers to staff or partners. Using 伙 to count people is incorrect; use 戶 or 個 instead when referring to the residents themselves.
