We have nothing like the quaint row housing that is so common in Europe. In the USA, the oldest houses tend to be Victorians. And there has always been such space, that houses are single level with yards and acreage.
In the cities, the old tenement multi-apartment housing units have become tenement slums and usually get the wrecking ball. At least that's what I know of Chicago. On the east coast, like in Boston, Baltimore and the DC area, some of the housing may have a slightly Euro flavor in appearance, but I had not seen much of that when I lived on the east coast USA.
I had a female acquaintance from Basel, Switzerland and she would send me post cards of Basel - the flavor of the older row housing units was very apparent. It gives European cities and towns a quaintness that you don't see in the US modern housing.
Certainly, US modern housing is very desirable and very nice - very expensive too.
