Yea, there are some really nice secluded spaces behind rowhouses. In Frederick, some even has little pools. In Baltimore, more and more rooftop decks are being built, which even though ugly, provide great outdoor living space. Here's an example in Baltimore of a backyard of a rowhouse that someone took great care of
I'm the exact opposite. I don't need a yard. In fact, if I had one, who's going to cut it? I'm not hiring anyone to do it. I would love to live in one of these rowhouses.
See im different I dont mind cutting grass etc.. Thats how I grew up big family, big house, yard, pool in the back etc... I just cant live that close. The row houses just feel like apts or townhouses to me...

I think for some it is less about the row house, though some are far nicer than others and more about the location and proximity to things and lifestyle. Urban vs. suburban. But soem can be very pretty and some not. Overall though the decision to live in this type of neighborhood is more a lifestyle choice. The ability to walk to things or be more car reliant etc.
There is no right or wrong answer as to where anyone chooses to live...

Personally I hate doing yard work, but I do like a good mix between nature and urbanity. To give you an idea of what I mean, here are few townhouses from my neck of the woods:

Your right?? But on city data if your city is very urban and your city is diverse then it wins.... There are more people living a suburban lifestyle than a urban lifestyle... In my opinion urban living is more for single or married couples who have no kids.. Suburban life are for those who have families..
I just spent some time in Chicago and coming back from the convention center I walked through this neighborhood. While it has many nice buildings it is a bit sterile. The street vibe was barren. I think it will get better but honestly it is funny you compared this area to Atlanta. My thought was this felt much more like Atlanta or Houston than it did to the rest of Chicago, which in my opinion was a bad thing. Chicago is such a great city. But it felt like the suburbs were replicated within the city and that just confused me

The suburbs? Seriously?
Its a new neighborhood, so it like Atlantic Station will take time to build a community. That takes a few decades to do.
