Best Answer

A common area is defined as a real estate asset that is usable by all members of the community, and is owned in common by all owners.

At least one sub-definition is limited common area, meaning that the element is useful for some, but not all, owners. It is also owned by all owners and is maintained by the association using funds paid in assessments by all owners.
