terrace houses
Joined street homes
Terrace houses are a row of identical or nearly identical houses joined together by shared side walls, forming a continuous line along a street.
Common in British cities and former British colonies, they emerged during the Industrial Revolution as efficient urban housing.
Americans typically call this style row houses or townhouses.
The shared walls provide insulation and allow for denser development than detached homes.
The Victorian terrace houses in that neighborhood have become quite desirable.
