When buying a home, one option to consider is a cooperative apartment, also known as a co-op. Co-ops are a type of housing arrangement in which the residents collectively own the building and share common spaces, while individually owning their own units.
There are several benefits to buying a co-op. One advantage is that co-ops are often more affordable than condos or single-family homes, especially in expensive urban areas. Additionally, co-ops typically have lower maintenance fees than other types of housing. Co-ops also offer a sense of community, as residents share ownership and responsibility for the building.
