Abstract
High Life: Condo Living in the Suburban Century by Matthew Gordon Lasner is reviewed. Rather than focusing on the role of condominiums as an alternative to suburbia, the book tells the fascinating story of all types of collective homeownership in multifamily housing in the U.S., from The Rembrandt in New York of the 1880s up to today. The text itself is very readable, well edited, and annotated with over twenty-five pages of notes. Anecdotes and quotations help to illustrate this plethora of facts and statistics. The book excels in a multitude of details that help readers understand the complexity of the real-estate market.
