You're right. I didn't notice they weren't connected until you mentioned it. Oh well, someone from SF can post SF pics.

NYC and Philly tied.

What do you guys think of Toronto row houses? Almost replicates Detroits/Pittsburghs.

Actually those seem pretty unique to me. Less the second pic than the first though.

DC. Pretty much all central neighborhoods are full of nothing but rowhouses. I challenge you to find a neighborhood with more elaborate and exquisite rowhouses than you find in the Dupont, Logan, Bloomingdale and Capitol Hill neighborhoods.

I like them all but my heart goes with Philadelphia...some parts still look "colonial".

D.C. certainly has a large supply of beautiful, unique rows:
