Actual row homes are pure city. Some cities are pretty much known for them, such as Baltimore but I think of them as any long string of connected housing lining city streets. To me, nothing says urban more than a bunch of row houses with balconies and cars parked along the street.
BTW row houses are pre-central heating and pre-proper insulation in houses so houses were freezing. There were drafts everywhere. A row house with two houses on either side both with fireplaces going were a a very good thing. Combine that with no cars and you had to walk everywhere even a better thing to be close together and near city

It completely depends on the rowhouse. The older row houses have brick and mortar for firewalls, but any missing mortar could create a scenario where you are hearing every little thing. I have personally had it happen in two different row homes. And it really sucks. Newer row homes may not be better depending on the materials used. In some ways ...
But row houses pop up in a number of neighborhoods and, aside from East Cleveland where all kinds of beautiful 19th/early 20th century buildings are falling to decay and the wrecking ball, most of the row houses Cleveland has in the older neighborhoods are being preserved.

The City has all the legal tools (Receivership) it needs to force the auctions of vacant houses in neighborhoods with a stronger market. The economics of rehab are pretty easy. Figure $30-$100 per square foot depending on condition for a minimal rehab then multiply that by the square feet in the building (often listed in SDAT).
A Row house can stand on its own if the houses on either side are taken down. A row house does not share walls typically. A row house is still considered a row house if the space between is extremely narrow.
