ABSTRACT

Row houses were built even into the 1920s. The several groupings of row houses laced through portions of Madison Park are not as refined in the quality of construction, but have matured rather well nonetheless. Row houses are, in fact, single-family homes, except that they are attached to their neighbors, rather than detached from them. Any neighborhood should surely be pleased to have these in their midst. Another in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood features roof lines, window trim, and colors echoing those of other, older houses found in those neighborhoods. Row houses are ideal for urban neighborhoods, in that density can be accommodated without radically changing character. Carefully designed row houses can look like they are separate, even though they are not. Down in Dupont, in the new community of Northwest Landing, there is a small clutch of row houses called "Bay Colony" that face a village green.
