You can buy an apartment. Many do in cities.

Isnt that what makes it a condo not an apartment?

I recently learned that it is, but that's not at all obvious for non-US people. In Europe an apartment is an apartment, and the ownership status is a separate matter. Condo is a not a word anyone uses or probably even understands over here.

i think the definition is a bit sketchy as some would say that if you can buy it, it is not an apartment.
