Keep off the grass

It's not really grass or snow. I moved into a new condo duplex (sometimes called zero lot line) last year and they do plow the snow. Many other condos in this area do not. It depends on how the CC&Rs are drawn up.

Most condos define ownership to the midpoint of the exterior walls and roof. The outside is owned by the condo association. Thus, the exterior maintenance is the responsibility of the association, to whom a monthly assessment is paid.

Also, depending on location and when constructed, there can be great variations with quality in either type. My condo has dual stud walls with insulation and air space between them for the walls between me and my common wall neighbor -- very quiet. But I've seen condos under construction with just a single stud wall between units, just like a cheaply built apartment unit. One thing to watch out for is an older apartment complex which was cheaply constructed but recently converted to condos with new paint and modest upgrades to the kitchen and bath room(s). You can count on noise between units with those.
