Condo is a piece of real estate in a building. The owner of the condo actually owns the unit (walls, floors) and registers its title like it was a house. They do not own the common areas. The owner of a condo can typically rent it out. Of course, some condos have HOAs, as do houses, and are subject to the HOA rules. HOAs typically govern lawns and the outward appearance of the properties.

An apartment is leased, whether a co-op or a rental. Co-op owners own shares (stock) in the company that owns the building. Renters just have a lease, no shares.

Both co-op owners and renters are subject to the lease terms, the rules of the building owner and any restrictions imposed by law. Co-op owners/leaseholders typivally are restricted in the sale of their shares and lease, or subleasing, which is typically subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the company that owns the building. That is why you sometimes hear that certain celebrities were denied purchase in a co-op. Condos are not subject to these restrictions. Co-ops are preferred by some because of the ability to keep people out. Condos are more easily transferable or leased out.

I think Co-ops are more common in NYC, but condos and apartment buildings are everywhere.

Where do you live that you have not been exposed to apartments and condos?

@lgfan Condos and apartments are not the same thing legally. Maybe you mean in other ways.

Don't most people look like that on FB? I'm not on FB, nor do I look at it but my husband is/does. When he tells me some incredible story, I ask where he got that information. If he says FB, I stop listening.

We only see what people want us to see on social media. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

The days of sitting on your hands, being afraid to make a move because you're afraid of what others might say (look at the judgement/jealousy here) or you're afraid to fail, afraid of rejection, are over. Its a whole new world for women and I'm here for it
I don't follow Jen, but occasionally see some FB posts and she looks to be living her best life. We only get one. More power to her!

Where do you see jealousy here? Judgement maybe, because she is a public figure.

Can we have a conversation without that old, tired line.

At the end of the day, it’s all the same to me. If she’s happy, great. If she’s not ok. If she is rich great. If not that’s ok.

Most of us are here to just have a conversation, give an opinion or thought. That’s about it.

I am reminded of the annual Christmas letters when people describe how wonderful their lives are during the year. My favorite word that was used was "thriving". His business is thriving, our children are thriving, etc.

I agree with you. I am also getting tired of the jealousy remarks. She does have an attractive husband but I wouldn't go as far as comparing him to Omar Sharif. Good for her that she found her "soul mate".

@NYCLatinaMe I live in FL now, but grew up in Ohio. I did not state that I was not aware of apartment and condos. I just thought that apartments could only be rented and not purchased. When people said they "bought an apartment," I thought that was odd. So from your description, are you saying that people who "own" apartments really just own shares of the company that owns the building?

I am happy for her. But I think it is a bit too soon to declare him her "soul mate." (and I know that came from Jennifer, not this poster) Let them have a few years of ups and downs before declaring that category.
