One of a line of houses built side by side, sharing side walls, each with its own entrance and usually a small garden or courtyard.
How it works and what to check
Row houses are common in Maharashtra, Gujarat and planned townships. They give more space than a flat at a lower price than a villa. Shared walls mean structural changes can affect neighbours, so alterations are often restricted.
Common questions
Is a row house the same as a villa?
No. A villa usually stands alone; a row house shares side walls.
Do row house owners own the land?
Usually each owner gets its plot or a share of the land under the deed. Check the deed.
