I grew up in a city of mostly rowhomes and I love them. Plan on buying one one day.
You still get walk-ability, sense of community and good population density (not as good as a high-rise but still good), but also more privacy, and the space is more conducive to raising a family than an apartment. Also they’re cute as fuck and people can paint them different colors and have cool little gardens on their porches and stuff.
I don’t see the point. I used to live in one. It’s a less space efficient appartment. You can just build those bigger.
it’s only less space efficient if you don’t give away rooms to people who can’t afford rent
Lest us all be beholden to landlords
It’s an efficient way of making semi-dense housing while still fostering a sense of community. While not without issues there’s a lot of positives from rowhouses.
Counterpoint: you usually get a basement
