Explanation:
"Over" is very strange here, and a more careful writer might have written "located in."

Suerte.

Thus, the sentence might have read as follows:

XXX, 12 highly attractive condominiums located in Brooklyn townhouse buildings.

I don't agree with Patricia's interpretation of the language....

It's late. Let's try again:

XXX, 12 highly attractive condominiums located in four Brooklyn townhouse buildings.

OR

XXX, 12 highly attractive condominiums located in four townhouse buildings in the borough of Brooklyn.

Yes. I would translate as "departamentos," assuming you are translating for a market where "condominios" is not used. In Peru, "departamentos" is used for apartments that are rented or owned, whereas in US, "condominiums" is used for the latter.

what i understood is that there are 12 condominiums, each condominium has 4 townhouses (4 houses/apartments-here a townhouse is a unit, it usually has two floors), and so 4x12 =in the end 48 rental units. It doenst make sense more than one condominium per townhouse, but yes 4 townhouses make 1 condominium. Here in Florida we see lots of condominius like that, with 3 or 4 or 6 townhouses in the same building; each building is a condominium. I hope this really makes sense !!! suerte

I learned it the hard way! When I was a student in the US I was living in a rented apartment. After a few months a sign appeared at the entry of the building saying that the complex was being turned into "condominiums". I didn't know what it meant or that I would be affected by the change. They started redecorating the shared spaces of the building, all pink, and later I got a note saying my contract would not be renewed, in other words I was going to be kicked out.

Sometimes they use the word condominium to imply that the apartments are owned individually, so condominium=apartment in that case.

Do you think that in this context considering a condominium as an apartment is correct? I thought they were talking about a building or complex in which units of property, such as apartments, are owned

Precisely! There are 4 townhouses (each considered 1 building) and 3 homes in each one.

It sounds like they are 12 condos that look like four townhouses. Each "townhouse" looks like a three-story single-family building but it is really three separate small apartments, one on each floor. I hope it makes sense...

Asker: Robert, would you translate condominiums as "apartments" in this context?

(departamentos en condominio) que tienen vista a...

Explanation:
Jairo, creo que tu problema aquí no es la traducción de "over", sino el concepto de condominio. En EEUU se le dice condominio a un departamento propio (aun si está en el 12avo piso), si el que lo habita es el dueño. Si el que vive ahí lo está rentando, la vivienda se conoce como departamento (...en México; en otros lados, "apartamento"). Espero que te sirva de algo.

Me imagino que unos departamentos (comprados o en condominio, no rentados) están en alto en un edificio, y por lo bajo se ven cuatro residencias (horizontales) muy elegantes.
"four townhouse buildings" puede muy bien referirse a "construcciones" (posiblemente casas), no necesariamente "edificios". Tal vez estoy equivocada.

Pregunté, y me dicen que parece ser una extraña disposición de los departamentos o del edificio: según esto, son cuatro "town houses" en los pisos inferiores y 12 departamentos en los pisos superiores, en el mismo edificio. De ahí el "over".
