terrace house

Shared-wall urban home

A terrace house is a row house—one of a series of attached houses sharing side walls, built as a continuous unit.

The term is standard in British, Australian, and New Zealand English: Victorian terrace houses line the street.

American English prefers "row house" or "townhouse" for the same style.
