Answer: There is no standard definition ofthese terms, which are used interchangeably. In a general way, a condois often thoughtof as a multi-story building with common ownership of areas used by all owners and private ownership of individual dwelling units. Townhouses are similar to row houses with common sidewalls and individual, private entries at street level. A group of townhouse mayalsoinclude areas that are commonly owned and used, Consequently, townhouses may use a condodeclaration and bylawsto establish a community governance for commonareas; hence, townhouses may be condo well. “Villa” is a word used to broadly describe a dwelling and is often usedtocreate a specific image.
