A condominium is a form of ownership, not a type of structure.
It typically consists of multiple units (multi-family or multi-unit buildings) in which each owner holds title to their individual unit and shares ownership of common areas (e.g., hallways, pools, grounds) through the condominium association.
This differs from a cooperative (co-op), where residents hold shares and a proprietary lease.
