IPA guide

Other forms: quadrominiums

A quadrominium is a building or house that has four privately owned apartments. If you can afford to buy your own place and would like to have three close neighbors, you should consider a quadrominium!

Though it doesn't appear in most dictionaries, the word quadrominium regularly shows up in real estate listings. Coined in the 1970s, this term combines the Latin root quattuor, "four," with ending of condominium, a word with roots that mean "jointly-owned property." If a condo in a four-unit building is up for sale, you're likely to see it advertised as a quadrominium.
