That varies a lot, although legally they are both condominiums. Some places where land isn't at a premium will have units that basically look like duplexes with yards (two houses attached at the garage) but are technically condos.

I used to know why NY mostly had co-ops instead of condos, but I've forgotten. I know of some people who live in a co-op in Indianapolis, but they are rare - I only know of one.
