However a condominium is usually owned and occupied by the same person and thus the landlord-tenant relationship does not exist. Condos are\u00a0individual dwellings within a single building, often  multi-story,\u00a0with several adjoining each other, often with at least one  entrance to each from a common hall or entry area.<\/p>\n<p>As a condominium owner you will also share tenancy with other owners in common areas, such as parking, hallways, recreation, and landscaped areas. If you own a condo, you do not own the land surrounding your living space. A condo owner owns only the unit itself, which is taxed as an individual entity, and it is important to note that condominium refers only to the type of ownership and is not a type of house.<\/p>\n<h3>Huntsville Townhouses<\/h3>\n<div style=\"position:relative; float:right; clear:left; margin-left:10px\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5405\" style=\"border: solid 5px #ccc; -moz-border-radius:5px; -webkit-border-radius:5px\" title=\"Townhomes\" src=\"\/\/athomeshuntsville.com\/realestate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Townhomes.jpg\" alt=\"Townhomes\" width=\"166\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/athomeshuntsville.com\/realestate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Townhomes.jpg 166w, https:\/\/athomeshuntsville.com\/realestate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Townhomes-150x108.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 166px) 100vw, 166px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>View Current: <a title=\"Huntsville Al Townhomes for Sale\" href=\"\/\/athomeshuntsville.com\/homesforsale\/index.php?PROP_TYPE=townhouse&amp;CITY=huntsville&amp;action=searchresults\">Huntsville Townhouses for Sale<\/a><br \/>\nView Current: <a title=\"Madison Al Townhomes for Sale\" href=\"\/\/athomeshuntsville.com\/homesforsale\/index.php?PROP_TYPE=townhouse&amp;CITY=madison&amp;action=searchresults\">Madison Townhouses\u00a0 for Sale<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In contrast a Townhouse is a single-family dwelling unit constructed in a series or group of attached units with property lines separating each townhouse. A townhouse is like a single family detached home in that  the owner owns both the structure and the land on which it sits; but the townhouse it  is not detached, so the land on which it sits is limited to the  front and back yards. Townhouses are connected to one another in a row,  and are usually two or three stories tall.<\/p>\n<p>The important distinction between a Condominium and Townhouse is that a townhouse is not a type of ownership as is the case with condominiums but is simply referring to a type of house.
