A townhouse is a type of terraced housing often referred to as "row houses" as they are constructed in rows and stand side by side with shared walls usually to both sides. Most townhouses typically have more than 2 floors and commonly three in most regions. In Qatar the majority of townhouses available are located in The Pearl or very close to it. Townhouses can be found in Porto Arabia, Qanat Quartier, Abraj Quartier, Viva Bahriya and West Bay.
