Row Homes

Over my past 14 years in the US I had not paid any attention to row homes that I came across while traveling through major cities. This changed when I saw some "rehabbed" properties in Baltimore earlier this year.

The places are tiny. They are typically 3 stories tall and very narrow (~12 feet wide). But I have seen them refurbished real nice. I would not mind living in one of these in a Baltimore neighborhood such as Federal Hill or Canton. Some of the pros would be relatively low energy bills since these homes are insulated by other homes on both sides.

However these properties are currently priced very high (~5M$) - a trend which is surely changing. Also, because of our little girl who is very curious, we prefer to stay in a home with no stairs for a few years.

Some of the properties that I refer to have penthouses / rear decks with mesmerizing views of Baltimores Inner Harbor, as seen in this picture.
