condominiums

Shared-building private residences

Condominiums is the plural of condominium, a form of property ownership where individuals own their units while sharing ownership of common areas—hallways, pools, parking structures.

The word often refers to the units themselves: They're selling condominiums in the new high-rise.

Shortened to condo in casual speech.
