Colloquially, the term "condo" is often used to refer to the unit itself in place of the word "apartment". Technically, the condominium is the whole collection of individual home units along with the land upon which they sit. Individual home ownership is composed of only of the air-space within the boundaries of the home, as defined by a document known as a Declaration, filed of record with the local governing authority. Typically these boundaries will include the drywall surrounding a room, allowing the homeowner to make some interior modifications without impacting the common area. Anything outside this boundary is held in an undivided ownership interest by a corporation established at the time of the condominium’s creation. The corporation holds this property in trust on behalf of the homeowners as a group, it does not have ownership itself. Big cities, including Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, and Toronto, are major condo users. The primary attraction to this type of ownership is the ability to obtain affordable housing in a highly-desirable area that typically is beyond economic reach. Additionally, such properties benefit from having restrictions that maintain and enhance value, providing control over blight that plagues some neighborhoods.
