Well-built and -thought-out terraces can be quite nice. There are two sets of V nice ones on the same block where my Grandma lived, one of whom wraps around the corner. Both brick, probably 1920s or a little earlier, and at least one has three storeys. I poked around in one of the non-wrapping-around-the-corner joints when it came up for sale on realtor dot com®, and it was awfully cool. It had lotsa vasty windows, pretty un-painted woodwork, no recessed lighting, and even still had all its interior walls. I think it was around 2000 sq ft, too. The third terrace on her former block wraps around another corner; those are smaller, and were orig middle class housing.
Some multi-family homes are also quite civilized; we have many sprinkled around in our neighborhood. They’re spacious, well landscaped, and have more than a meter of space between them and their neighbors.
