Condo or 'Condominium' is basically a real estate area constructed and divided into units owned separately. It is most commonly built in the form of apartment buildings, but stand-alone detached condos are also constructed. Lofts on the other hand describe an upper story apartment present right under the roof.

Condos are considered as highly luxurious apartments that are more comfortable and so are the condominium lofts. Often, we get to see luxurious and high-end condos and lofts that make us all awe with surprise. After all, who won’t be mesmerized with the kind of luxuries they offer?
