In a condominium setting, common areas are shared spaces that are collectively owned by all unit owners. Generally, these areas include amenities and facilities that enhance the living experience of the residents.
The option of a balcony is least likely to be considered a common area because balconies are typically designated as private spaces for individual unit owners. Each owner has the exclusive right to use their own balcony, and it is not shared with other residents. In contrast, land, laundromats, and swimming pools are typically provided for the use of all residents, making them common areas. They foster community interaction and provide shared benefits, which is the defining characteristic of common areas in condominiums. Thus, the balcony stands out as a private area, while the others serve the entire community.
