What does a map of a common interest community usually depict?

1. Three-dimensional representations of individual units

2. Legal descriptions of each owner's rights

3. Common ownership areas and their specifications

4. Detailed interiors of condominium units

The correct answer is: Three-dimensional representations of individual units

A map of a common interest community typically emphasizes areas of common ownership and communal spaces, making it vital in understanding how these communities function and the rights associated with shared property. The map outlines the specific areas that are owned collectively by the community members, such as parks, pools, and other shared amenities. It may also detail the boundaries of individual units but focuses primarily on the associated common areas. While three-dimensional representations of individual units could provide valuable visual information, they are not the primary focus of maps for common interest communities. The emphasis on common ownership facilitates better understanding of use and maintenance responsibilities among community members. Additionally, legal descriptions and detailed interiors, while important in their own right, do not capture the essence of how the community is organized and the interaction between private and shared spaces.
