Only Georgetown and Downtown, really. Georgetown has some, but it also has a lot of detached structures: like the 2nd and 4th examples. The 1st and 3rd example are definitely neighborhoods I've never walked around in DC with cool rowhouses. Are the one's in the 5th technically rows? with the garages and such? Not apartments?
As far as I know, row homes in DC are few and far between with the exception of a few areas within those neighborhoods. Most of the DC that I've navigated looks/feels a bit more like Chicago, with very dense, really polished SFH/multi tenant stand alone units with beautiful tree canopy.

Uh, no. 25.3% of housing structures in DC are 1-unit, attached compared to 3.4% in Chicago. And you have to remember that a lot of rowhouses are technically 2-unit flats since they have separated basement apartments.

Ok, I’m starting to get a little confused by this thread. DC has row houses galore. We’re not on baltimore or philly’s level, but DC has many different styles from different eras. Row house neighborhoods include Georgetown, Columbia heights, Adams Morgan, Bloomingdale, Trinidad, Petworth, bright wood, Capitol Hill in and of itself is HUGE, logan and DuPont circles, and even more neighborhoods.

Well, he said "most of the DC I've navigated." Upper Northwest DC fits that description. It has a more Chicago-like feel to it.

yea theyre very common in more neighborhoods than one would care to list....
I can't really think of any bowed rowhouses in Philly.
yeah, I can't really think of any blocks off the top of my head really where the front of the house is bowed out. DC and Baltimore come to mind first when I think of that style. Philadelphia's curves are more octagonal

There are some houses with conical turrets, but they are not rowhouses.
Idk about that. There are a lot of examples of conical turrets through center city, north philadelphia, and west philadelphia. West Philly has the most, but a lot of houses in that part of the city are duplexes.

Baltimore does have bowed rowhouses and probably has a bit more variety overall in terms of its rowhousing despite being much smaller than Philly.
Maybe, I truly do not know. Philadelphia has a lot of different types, and I obviously have a lot of pictures lol.. One little area I always thought was unique was the english village in rittenhouse.

There aren't a lot. It's more like a house here or there. "A lot" would be some neighborhoods in DC where most houses have them.

Baltimore has most of the same rowhouse styles as Philadelphia (or at least it's very similar). But it also has a lot of housing that resembles DC's.
Here are some photos (taken by me) of Boston rowhomes (or brownstones??).
This is perhaps because I'm a Philly girl, but I'd only categorize your third picture as what I would typically think of as a rowhome.
My picks are Philly and Baltimore, based on my definition of what constitutes a rowhome. New York and Boston have brownstones. Not sure how I would classify the housing in DC.
