Chicago condos

Chicago condos are of diverse types depending on the price. Main types of condos in Chicago are - high-rise or low-rise condos, duplex, triplex, or single detached houses. There are even mixed condos, which are part commercial and part residential. The condominium corporation looks after the common areas shared by the owners like the pool, gym, parking garage, lobbies etc with the monthly fee the owners pay them.

In condo townhouses the inside is owned by the owners but the exterior of the house like the parking place, playing area, exterior door, garage door etc are shared among all owners. In bare land condos the owner privately owns both the interior and the exterior of the house. But the commonplace maintenance has to be to done in consultation with other owners. These bungalow style homes are ideal for retired people, as it has all needed facilities at the main level so they have no need for the stairs.
