Many people are unable to differentiate between town houses, country homes and row houses. Well, a town house or property is a type of medium-density housing unit in places, usually but not necessarily terraced or semi-detached. They often take up very little ground space but maximize on it by having multiple floors. Historically, town homes were the reserve of noblemen and royalty. This would often be their alternative home to stay in when visiting the city. Otherwise they would prefer to stay in a country home in the country side. City visits would mainly be to attend social events, conduct some quick business or social calls.

Most Townhomes for rent in Atlanta were terraced back then and only a small number of them were detached. In the United States, their appeal comes from two different angles. For one, they symbolize wealth; more so in places where the population is so high like in Atlanta and New York City. Here, most people stay in apartment blocks so having a semi-detached house is considered a great sign of wealth. In some cities, such homes are considered a convenience for those that have large families. This is due to the fact that the houses take very little ground space; but because of their many floors, big families are able to live comfortably and still enjoy close proximity to social and economic amenities. A country home, on the other hand, is a huge home in the country side. Such homes are often inhabited by individuals who love or opt to stay away from the city. Most of them are ranchers, farmers or people that own large tracks of land. They often employ a large number of staff to ensure the home runs smoothly.

Then we have row houses. These are a sequence of homes, often of similar in design, located in a row and sharing walls. They are very common in cities because many people are able to live side by side in a relatively small piece of land. This is the most common housing unit for the middle class and lower classes of people, with the main distinguishing feature being the features of the house and the social value given to the area they are built in. Because of this, row houses are usually smaller and less magnificent than town homes and country homes.

But one cannot fail to see the similarity between town houses and row houses. Both have houses arranged in rows. But remember Townhomes for rent in Atlanta are often not similar to each other as they are designed to imitate separated or semi-detached homes. Today, the name town home property is used to explain housing models that resemble separated homes in a multi-unit complex with the main difference between apartments and townhouses being townhouses usually involve several floor surfaces and have their own outdoors. This is in contrast to apartments, which have only one Level and a shared, interior, corridor access. Well, now that you know the main differences, I bet you will find it easier deciding on the right country, row or town homes for rent in Atlanta.
