[quote=Anonymous]I've considered buying a TH now that I'm divorced.  I don't need a 4BR house, and I find the way the house is laid out—a specialized room for everything—to be less useful for a single person than a TH might be.

But every time I look at a TH, I realize why I don't like them.  Having someone on the other side of each wall (or across a very small air gap, so the poster at [url=https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1214917.page#27857443]07/07/2024 02:39[/url] doesn't feel the need to give us another tutorial on TH building codes) is an issue—not so much because of their noise, but because I'm paranoid about me being too loud.  But what I really hate is that the outdoor space is so minimal and unattractive.  I love having a porch that looks out on a yard, garden, or trees.  Ideally, I'd have a screened porch where the cats and I can hang out on nice days.  THs almost universally just have those rooftop decks that have views of the other TH rooftop decks.

A rowhome (like what you see in Capitol Hill) would be another matter, since they aren't build like modern suburban THs.  The rowhomes may have yards, and I've even seen a few with screened porches.  Alas, Capitol Hill rowhomes are way out of my price range these days.[/quote]
