Townhomes are different. It's typically clusters of four to eight conjoined units (fourplexes and 2x4's), all surrounding a massive parking lot. Universally subject to a HOA/condo board where you get to pay for the privilege of maintaining said giant parking lot, clearing sidewalks that lead to the parking lot, and maintaining the tiny amount of grass surrounding the parking lot.
Rowhomes are usually skinny, have multiple floors, and are on real streets instead of a private parking lot.
Is this another term for terraced houses, or is there a difference that I'm not informed enough about architecture to know about?
It's a regionalism. Terraces house is british, row home is east coast, townhouse is the rest of America
