A pied-à-terre (French, "foot on the ground") is a small living unit usually located in a large city some distance away from an individual's primary residence. It may be an apartment or condominium.
The term pied-à-terre implies usage as a temporary second residence, either for part of the year or part of the work week, by a person of some means.
Many co-op buildings in New York City prohibit pieds-à-terre because they want full time residents.
