I don’t currently live in a row house. I did back when I was attending Howard (1st and V in N.W. D.C.), but it seems to me row houses make a lot of sense. They make sense on so many levels: they efficiently utilize space, they provide a true “neighborhood” feel by making it pretty much unavoidable for people to see each other as they come and go, in many cases they seem to require minimal exterior maintenance, and the list goes on. This blog will revisit the row house discussion occasionally, and I really hope I can get a dialogue going with people out there who can contribute views, particularly from the financial perspective on why row house living makes good sense in the twenty first century. Maybe as we tear down the really, really old ones, we should consider building new ones. Of course, you may also have other views of row house living that differ from the favorable comments I’ve made here, but so be it. Let’s hear your side too. Chime-in. Let me know if there are budget boosting advantages or disadvantages to row house living.
