That's not exactly true.  There's a big variety: Some have deep back yards with lots of landscaping; some have tiny concrete patios.  [/quote]

+1, there are actually a lot of Hill homes that have no backyard/patio space at all because of the way the block is laid out out. We used to live in one with a postage stamp front yard and that's it -- no parking pad, nowhere to put a deck. It was a rental and I think the new owners may have put in a roof deck. But roof decks on row homes are tricky -- having your only outdoor space on the top floor is not that functional. It's hot and far from the kitchen, and depending on the house it might be hard to put in a little sink and fridge even. Just depends.

When we lived there, though, we were also within 5 blocks of two large parks and an elementary school with playground and field. We missed being able to sit on our patio to eat, but did not want for outdoor space or somewhere for our kid to run around. [/quote]
