Condo Share Of Home Sales In St Louis Higher Than National Average

The term Condominium usually brings to mind an image of a mid-rise or high-rise “apartment-style” building, however actually refers to the type of ownership and can be applied to attached and even detached homes as well.  The more common form of housing is a single family detached home with fee-simple ownership, particularly in smaller metropolitan areas and the suburbs.  The concept of condominiums while originally most likely begun by the Romans were first introduced into the U.S. around 1960.  Since the introduction of condominiums, they have gained in popularity, particularly in densely populated metropolitan areas such as New York Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago but also slowly made their way to St Louis and have gained in popularity here as well, particularly with older baby boomers, as well as younger millennials, both of whom are attracted to the lifestyle offered in condo living.
