townhouse
word
Definition
A townhouse is a type of house that is attached to other similar houses in a row, sharing side walls, usually with multiple floors and its own private entrance.
Usage & Nuances
"Townhouse" is used in real estate, especially in cities or suburbs. It's different from a detached house (which stands alone) or an apartment (in a building with many units). In the US, 'townhouse' usually means attached houses with individual entrances; 'row house' is a similar term. Not always luxurious—may be affordable or upscale.
