Apt vs Condo

I looked at an apartment today and almost took it.  Then I remembered I need to wait 6 more monts before making any decision.  The way the housing market is now, I don't want to end up living somewhere I hate.  I'm also concerned that I'll end up buying a condo and most of the units are rented.  We have one of those over here now.  I'm planning to look at it tomorrow, but definetly will not buy one there.  I figure if you're going to buy a condo, you might as well rent if everyone else that lives there is renting.
Any Condo owners out there?  What do you think?
