In formal contexts, 'vivir' is often used to convey a sense of living a certain lifestyle or standard of living, as in 'vivir en un barrio elegante' (to live in an elegant neighborhood). However, in informal settings, the verb 'morar' is more commonly used to describe one's residence. A common learner mistake is to confuse 'vivir' with 'habitar', which implies a more temporary or transitional living arrangement.
