    They're probably row houses, which function like horizontally stacked apartments with shared walls but each one having its own numbered street address. Very popular with slumlords.

      Oh, the townhouses here are actually quite nice. Compact, but less so than an apartment, and you get a little yard.

        Yeah, they run the spectrum from project housing to luxury townhomes. It's just a more efficient way of packing single family homes into a given area than a regular detached house, but cheaper for urban developers to build than a high rise apartment building.
