The concept of row houses originated in Europe in the 16th century. As per this philosophy of construction, houses identical in terms of architecture, look and feel are placed next to each other and share sidewalls. Often to give the architecture a stand out point, the houses at the end of the line are given a different layout then the ones in the middle.

Row houses often offer families the opportunities to own independent homes in posh neighborhoods at lesser prices. As compared to luxury villas, row houses are much more competitively priced.

The Sobha Group is one of the biggest real estate developers in India. They revolutionized the concept of row houses in Bangalore with unique design and architecture patterns. They are now coming up with International city in Gurgaon. The project is ambitious and is spread over an area of 150 acres. International City is being presented as an exclusive villa community and is coming up next to the very popular Dwarka Expressway. The luxury villas in this project will be state-of-the-art pieces, equipped with the best amenities. The project is also being carefully designed to make it an environmentally sustainable one.

The decision between row houses and luxury villas can be a tricky one. Both are similar in many aspects but are equally distinct in others. While, row houses serve the purpose of independent homes and are luxurious properties, villas are a class apart. Luxury is defined also in terms of uniqueness, a quality that is lost in row houses. Luxury Villas are often built over huge pieces of land and are encompassed among lush green surroundings. Row houses on the other hand, do not have as much free reign in terms of land usage as villas. Several homes need to be accommodated in a pre-decided piece of land and uniformity among the houses is of prime importance. Both row houses and luxury villas have their charm. In the end, the decision to choose may very well come down to budget issues.
