What are the areas called that are reserved for use by one or more units in a condominium?

In a condominium setting, the term that accurately describes the areas reserved for use by one or more specific units is "Limited Common Areas." These areas are designated for the exclusive use of one or more unit owners but are still part of the overall condominium property. An example might be a balcony or patio that directly belongs to one unit but is not part of the individual unit itself.

Understanding Limited Common Areas helps clarify the ownership and maintenance responsibilities within a condominium association, where some areas are shared by all unit owners while others are specifically allocated to particular units. This delineation is crucial for ensuring that rights and usage of various spaces are clearly defined and maintained.

The other terms, such as Common Areas, refer to spaces that are available for use by all the residents of the condominium, like lobbies and amenities. Exclusive Areas might suggest spaces reserved for the use of one unit without sharing, but they don't distinguish the relationship between individual unit ownership and shared property. Shared Areas doesn’t specifically reference the designated allocations implied in the context of condominiums. Thus, Limited Common Areas are key to understanding how usage rights are established in multi-unit living environments.
