Condo的意思是：（独立产权）公寓房。在中国大陆，有一种比较接近的房产类型，名字叫“商品住宅”、“商品房”等。Condo是Condominium的缩写。在美国口语中，人们通常说Condo，而较少说它的完整形式。
美国的Condo通常位于一栋住宅大楼内，楼内的房间都被单独出售给不同的业主（homeowner）。然而一些公共区域，比如：大厅、电梯、楼道却是由所有住户共享的。
相比独栋的房屋（house, single-family home），Condo无需支付一些额外的维护费用，比如：房屋整体外观的修缮、草坪维护等。相比之下，如果你不介意与邻居们隔墙而居，Condo是一种比较省心、经济的购房选择。

参考这些例句：
A Condo is the closest thing to owning your own HOUSE but you have to pay a monthly maintenance fee for the upkeep. （Condo基本上就意味着你已经拥有属于自己的“房子”了，不过你得每月支付一定物业费，以便进行维护。）
He’s been saving up for a nice condo in downtown area.（他一直在存钱，打算买套市中心的公寓。）
I am interested in your service. However, the price structure is not interested. 10$ o’er month is not much for an American. But it is much for a Chinese. If you drop it to 2-3$ per month, the subscription would be 10 times. Just a suggestion
Jackie, thanks for your feedback. It makes a lot of sense and I’ll give it some serious thought. I’ll porbably lower the membership fee to make it more appealing to Chinese audiences. Also, don’t forget to check back when you have time. Your comments will always be welcome here 🙂
