[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if there is an official answer, but I grew up in a row house near Dupont, and I would assume all older, attached homes near downtown are generally called row houses. i think of "townhouses" more as the marketing name for newly built attached homes in developments -- 1970s-onwards --either the more entry-level homes in the burbs in Silver Spring and Rockville, or more recent developments in the city, like on the edge of Georgetown, on Unicorn Place near Rock Creek Park, or up Connecticut Ave. (Which can often be significantly cheaper than SFH neighbors, mostly because of little/no land/yard I would assume.)

That said, I have also heard the term townhouse used for larger, more stately attached homes in DC, in the way the term is used in New York[/quote]

So is a townhouse "looked down upon" compared to a single family home?[/quote]

There's a whole other thread here called "The stigma of a townhouse" where you can conduct further investigation on this topic.[/quote]
