I'd say Baltimore has the best because it has a more diverse housing stock than any other rowhouse city.

1. Boston
2. Baltimore
3. New York
4. SF
5. DC
6. Richmond

I have to ask, those shots of 'rowhomes' in SF look awfully like Victorian design homes. Are they basically the same/what is the difference? Been to SF but never knew you folks called those anything but Victorians.

You think more rowhome diversity than {hilly, just curious Overall to me Baltimore and Philly are the most, at least seem to be by far the most common housing stock for them

I think so. I know Baltimore and philly have a lot of the same styles, but there are plenty of styles not replicated in other cities.

I think Baltimore does have a wide range of styles..but more diversity than Philly or NYC, I'd highly doubt that (Although I don't know for certain). Although it would be interesting to see how Baltimore does against Philly and NYC.

I'd say Baltimore and Philly are tied for being the quintessential rowhome cities in America. I’m sure if we were to look at pure numbers, NYC has just as many, if not more rowhomes than either city, but as you said, no other city has them dominate its housing stock like Baltimore and Philadelphia.

I'm pretty sure Baltimore and philly has more diversity than NYC. They may have more rowhouses because they have more people, but I don't think it can stand with Baltimore and philly when it comes to diversity.

1) DC or NYC (Logan Circle, Shaw, Park Slope, and Brooklyn Heights are all tied for America's most beautiful neighborhood)
2) Boston
3) San Francisco (can't stand all the garages, detract from otherwise beautiful rowhomes)

Can't rate the others, although they're all quite pretty.
