"I can't afford to buy a condominium"

Para que uds sepan, ya hice una busqueda antes de poner esta pregunta.
Just to let you know, I did a seach before asking this question.
I read about the use of the verbs "permitirse"/costear(se)"
I've used: "No puedo alcanzar el dinero para comprar un apartamento", which seems cumbersome to me.
Would this be better?: "No puedo costear comprar un apartamento"
Por cierto, cómo se dice "condominium" en espanol?
Muchas gracias!

In Spain, just to show you the difference:
No me puedo permitir comprarme.....

And if you were to use Permitir, you could say something like, "Mis fondos no me permiten comprar un condominio."
