Townhouse

Townhouse

• A type of terraced housing where a row of identical or mirror-image houses share side walls
• A modern townhouse is often one with a small footprint on multiple floors. 
• In the United Kingdom, most townhouses are terraced.
• Only a small minority of them, generally the largest, were detached, but even aristocrats whose country houses had grounds of hundreds or thousands of acres often lived in terraced houses in town.
• Townhouses are expensive where detached single-family houses are uncommon, such as in New York City, Chicago, and Boston
