I grew up in a city of mostly rowhomes and I love them. Plan on buying one one day.

You still get walk-ability, sense of community and good population density (not as good as a high-rise but still good), but also more privacy, and the space is more conducive to raising a family than an apartment. Also they're cute as fuck and people can paint them different colors and have cool little gardens on their porches and stuff.

My mom lived in a suburban development, my dad in a row home in the city.

I loved that row home. Before their divorce we were in a more rural area, we moved while I was still a kid and couldn't drive, so having so many things close by was amazing. Walk to the store, restaurants, many more friends. There were busses all the time. Even when I could drive I didn't need to, or it was a short drive anyway.

Strong agree from me.

Even my mom's suburban home was at least close to nature and abandoned industrial buildings, but not having that at the least would have made it completely awful, and I know many of most developments don't. Still no sidewalk to anything outside of it though
