Usage notes

Strictly speaking, rivitalo implies that the terrace and all of its houses are located on the same lot (i.e. that each terraced house is actually an apartment or a flat), which is often owned by a condominium (asunto-osakeyhtiö). If each house has its own lot, the technical term is kaupunkipientalo or kaupunkirivitalo.
