Affordability

A renter who wishes to build equity in his or her home but who has no desire to incur the responsibilities of maintaining a home may choose condominium or co-op ownership because it provides many of the same maintenance services as a rental unit would. A single person who wishes to own property but who cannot afford a house may turn to the generally more reasonable condominium or co-op market. Older homeowners who wish to give up what has become a large and unwieldy house but who have no desire to spend their equity on a rental unit often see condominiums or co-ops as an attractive alternative.

Although condominium and co-op owners are responsible for the maintenance in their own units(more so for co-op owners), the comfort of knowing that someone else will do the landscaping, the exterior painting, and the snow removal is often more than enough to make this option more attractive than home ownership.
