I don't think an apartment can be freestanding, but a condo can definitely be on the 47th floor. Apartment usually implies that it is rented out/leased from a landlord, while a condo is a place that is owned (at least in all of my experiences with it). |
A condo is generally an owned property but is in a community that is managed by a company for maintenance etc. The building and it's property is owned by all of the residents (owners)...
Basically, if you live in a building but own your place, you're in a condo. If the whole building is rental units, it's an apartment...
Now that I think about it, NYC calls owned OR rented units apartments as well, don't they??
