Condominium refers to the ownership of the dwelling. There can be condominium apartments or townhouses. If you can buy your unit instead of rent it, it is a condominium. Your state or provincial government will have all sorts of legislation governing condominium ownership and your rights and obligations. Check their website.
In some areas, owners of apartments in condominium buildings choose to refer to their units as "suites". (But then you'll start worrying about the difference between apartment buildings and hotels!)

A condo you purchase like a home. then you have to follow the rules set by the homeowners association. Best thing to do is join the homeowners association so you can keep up with what they are up to.

Condo is self-contained, a style statement i.e.usually the rooms are open plan in the reception areas, kitchen-lounge-dining room. Sometimes bedrooms double as a reception room.

One of the dwelling units in a condominium and if you are wondering what a condominium is, its a Housing consisting of a complex of dwelling units (as an apartment house) in which each unit is individually owned. so it is merely a posh word for apartment or as we English say flat.

it is located in a large building usually[ you own it] but you don't have to cut grass or maintain the bushes or shovel sidewalks and when you move you can sell it unlike renting.
