Best Answer

In a condominium, you hold title to your unit and own real estate in common with all other owners.

In a co-op, you own shares in a corporation and are assigned a unit to which you do not hold clear title.

Should you buy a condo?

In a coop, you buy shares in the entire building and then receive a proprietary lease that allows you to inhabit your apartment. A coop board has ultimate power and can determine whether or not you make any improvements to your unit, what you may keep on your terrace (if applicable), and all other communal matters including maintenance and assessments. In many coop you may not sublet or have pets. It is a strange form of "ownership." The coop board must approve any sales or purchases and can deny a proposed purchase without having to ever disclose any reasons for that declination. In the purchase of a condo the purchaser owns the specific unit outright, pays a common charge for such things as gardening, elevators, etc. Condo owners pay their own taxes and a free to buy and sell without a board's appr5oval. Where both forms of ownership exist, generally speaking condos cost more money to purchase at the outset than coops. Condo owners also have more freedom and may sublet if they wish to. Coop ownership exists in very few states including New York & Florida.
