What Is a Condo?
Condos are individual units that often have shared walls in part of a larger building.
A condominium, or condo, is a unit within a building or a community owned by an individual or an entity. Amenities are owned collectively by the condo owners and are governed by the association, which enforces rules and regulations.”
When you live in a condo, you own the property from the walls in. The property the condo sits on is owned by the HOA, which oversees landscaping and maintenance of shared amenities. Monthly or annual fees are paid to the association for the maintenance of the common areas and building exterior.

What Is a Townhouse?
Townhouse owners have full ownership of their units, including the land. Owners generally have control over the exterior appearance and landscaping. Townhouses are homes built in rows or clusters, often with shared walls.
Townhouses are typically part of a homeowner’s association, much like condos. There are monthly fees and restrictions involved here, too.
