What City has the Best Row Houses? SF? BOS? NYC? (cost, people)

Yeah, there's something about PA that grabs my heart too. I find myself bouncing back and forth between Philly, DC, and Boston. Can't really decide which I like better.

Man, they are ALL so gorgeous. FYI, here is a pic I found of my block in Jersey City, another city loaded with rowhouses (kind of NY style):

And here are some pretty unique ones in Jersey City (the one in the middle was getting renovated at the time of photo):

This is really hard for me to choose. I've only been to DC, SF, and NYC out of that list so I've never seen the others in person. All those cities have really nice architecture and rowhomes.

I really like a lot of the homes in SF but sometimes they can be too ornate. I prefer some of non-Victorian style row homes more so.

I really liked the ones I saw in Manhattan so I guess I'll go with NYC, but not by much.

Jersey City has some beautiful row houses. NYC metro is so noted for its fantastic brownstones...I wish Pittsburgh had more brownstone rows.

^^ Yup, that row is right around the corner from me in Jersey City! It's so amazing to live in a neighborhood of nothing but rowhouses. It's like living in an outdoor museum, a moment in time.

same here, i'd love to see more of that style of housing in these parts.

this one is my favorite. if you get blindfolded and dropped on that stoop, you'd think you were in brooklyn or the west side of manhattan

One of these little ROW houses in San Fran will only set you back $1.2 million
