Yes, there are rules for parking. Only unit residents are allowed. You can not store someone else's car for unlimited time period. Cuz it is a common area. But there is nothing about Driveway. People treat drive way as their property. As I understand Driveways are common area as well or is it an Easement ?
In a condominium setting, driveways can indeed be designated as common areas or as limited common elements. Here's what you should consider:
- Common Area: If the driveway is a common area, it may be subject to rules set by the condo association.
- Limited Common Element: If it's a limited common element designated for your exclusive use, you may have more control over it.
Check your condo documents or consult with your condo association for clarification on how your driveway is classified.
There are NO clarification about Driveway as an easement.
In Massachusetts, the classification of a driveway in a condominium can be complex. If your condo documents don't clarify, consider these steps:
- Review your condo's declaration or master deed.
- Consult the condo board for official designation.
- Seek legal advice for a detailed interpretation.
Have you considered speaking with a real estate attorney for further assistance?
OK.. I look at Driveway the same way as Deck. Decks are designated for exclusive use by the unit owners.

It seems like a nuanced issue. In Massachusetts, if the condo documents or the association haven't clearly classified the driveway, it might still be considered a limited common element, similar to decks. Consulting a real estate attorney could help clarify any ambiguities in your specific situation. Would you like more guidance on finding legal assistance?
No thank you. I do not need to consult attorney.

Since you've declined legal assistance, I recommend reviewing your condo's declaration or master deed and communicating with your condo board for further clarification on how your driveway is classified. If you need more information in the future, feel free to reach out!
Have a great evening

It seems like you've already explored several avenues for understanding the classification of your driveway in the condominium. Since the matter involves interpretation of condo documents and association rules, which can be complex, you might consider consulting with your condo board to get their perspective. If you decide you need further assistance later, don't hesitate to reach out. Have a great evening!
