A condominium is defined asa building or other multiple-unit complex, the units of which are individually owned. Most people visualize a condo as an apartment-style home where you would enter a lobby, find an elevator, then go to the floor where your unit is located. In this layout, there are floors of individual units stacked on top of one another, like a cruise ship. Thisisone type of condo, but today we want to introduce a different type of condo. Sometimes calledtwo-over-two condos, ortownhome style condos, these homes consist of two levels each and are stacked one on top of the other. From the outside, the home looks like a townhome, but actually has two front doors when approaching the home.

Most people love this style of condominium because they are getting the benefits of a townhome -- there's a surprising amount of space! There's also no need to worry about the maintenance that comes with a townhome or single-family home. No lawn, exterior and landscaping maintenance necessary.
