Can you own a co-op apartment?

In legal terms, both condos and houses are “real property.” Co-ops, on the other hand, are “personal property” because you’re buying shares, not real estate. Don’t worry – if you buy a co-op, your fellow shareholders won’t have a key to your apartment. Each owner is granted the right to occupy a specific apartment.

What do owners in co-op buildings actually own?
