Romanesque Revival, Second French Empire, Federalist, Colonial, Italianate, First French Empire, Colonial Revival, Victorian, Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Georgian are well-represented row house architecture throughout much of DC. A lot of them also vary strongly in color as well.

True but Philly is just so much larger and offers more. Philly also has a lot more modern skyscrapers. Also, question, does Baltimore have a neighborhood with Victorian rowhomes like the neighborhoods in West Philadelphia bordering University City?

Charles Village in one that I can of off the top of my head. Also, Baltimore isa city of neighborhood, about 240 neighborhoods in the city, in fact, so there's a diverse collection of rowhouses.

Boston and NYC probably have the best quality due to high quality original architecture and highly gentrified row house neighborhoods. Philly and DC also have some nice row house neighborhoods.

Either NYC or Philly probably has the most. Boston has a lot more row houses than people seem to think. Baltimore and Philly have some incredibly gritty row houses (some abandoned) if that is part of the question.

From stately elegance to weathered simplicity to a funky funky style with a funky swag exuberance, DC's row house collection is among the best the country has to offer, be it brick, wood, or stone. Welcome to the Nation's Capitol
