No I don't think I was, although we were wandering pretty aimlessly. It was a spontaneous trip and I was there for literally 24 Hours.
I really need to get back. The Sunset District looks beautiful, I now understand the name-Is it expensive for San Francisco?

It's actually one of the relatively cheaper parts of town due to the weather and the semi-long commute to DTSF. If you appreciate nature and don't mind the cold year-round weather though, it's definitely an area worth looking into... GGP and Ocean Beach are next door.
dc has the best rowhouses in my opinion just based off color. i think philly comes second, then comes nyc.
overall nyc isnt filled with rowhouses compared to philly, and the mid-atlantic region cities such as baltimore, dc, and Wilmington, and all though nyc row houses look good, i dont think they can touch dc in color.
But i will agree with kodeblue, i would not want to live in a rowhouse. They take in less sunlight then regular houses, and do not have that much windows.
i like a apartment, or house to have a lot of windows in it, and i love garages as well.
NYC by leaps and bounds. So many different schools of row houses on display. My favorite is the Park Slope/Prospect park area as it reminds me of parts of London.
I wonder if NYC actually has more rowhouses than Philly, but just isn't as closely associated with them because of the wealth of other options available. NYC (including the areas that used to be independent of NYC) is and has been a much larger city than Philadelphia during the era where rowhouses/terraced housing were the most popular choices for housing. It's probably not that wild for NYC to actually have more rowhouses in absolute numbers and a greater variety of styles due to those greater numbers (and diversity of peoples and their neighborhoods and different periods of construction).
I really like the rowhouses in Brooklyn Heights. Also, I like the many odd rows that exist in NYC that are different from all the stuff around it like Pomander Walk and Jumel Terrace.

I agree. I'd argue it offers more variance in row houses aesthetically than any other US city. The mini-palaises on the upper east side, the classic brownstones, the shabby, but charming boxy rowhouses in Brooklyn. That one you have there looks like it has been around a looooong time.
no offense but those row houses are hideous, and theirs nothing too historical about them either.
but i rather live in those then the ones on the east coast just based of the fact that those homes have garages installed in them.
No offense taken, it's all opinion regardless. I personally don't find them to be hideous though they're kind of boring IMO. I'd much rather live in something like this:
