condos you actually own the walls...and the insides
coops you own a share of a corporation that owns the buidings (proportionate to the size of your apartment)

You also may have more freedom with a condo (such as knocking down walls, renovations, etc) Friends that have co-ops usually need Board approval for all of that

We own a co-op in the city. Basically what we own in shares in the corporation of our building. The # of shares is based on the size of our apartment. We need board approval to make any structral changes to our place. In NYC co-op owners have most of the same rights as renters, because technically that is what we are.
