terraced housing
Connected street homes
Terraced housing is a row of identical or similar houses sharing side walls, built as a continuous block.
Common in British cities since the 19th century, these homes typically have narrow frontages but extend back from the street.
Americans call the same configuration row houses or townhouses: Victorian terraced housing lines the street.
