It's my impression (but don't quote me on this) that they have living quarters near their offices/classrooms. McGonagall, at least, seems to live near Gryffindor tower, since she seems to show up there quickly in a late-night emergency.

That makes sense.

Do you happen to know where Ravenclaw Tower is relative to Snape's office?

All things Snape and Potions seem to be in the Dungeons, which I'm guessing is several floors below any of the towers. I think there's a bit on the Lexicon discussing the layout of Hogwarts and which rooms are on which floors.

Edit: This is probably your best bet: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/hogwarts/castle/hogwarts_inside.html

Thank you. That's what I was looking for.

Hopefully not too late for you, but I've just been re-reading OotP and notice that when Trelawney is kicked out of the tower it's definitely implied that she lives there as well as having her classroom there - Umbridge protests that the quarters will be needed for a replacement teacher, but Dumbledore appoints Firenze - who (obviously) cannot use the tower room.

So yes, the classrooms are essentially part of the teacher's own quarters.

No, not too late. Thanks for the information. That helps a lot.
