what is the difference between single family home and town house?
When I do some research for housing, and the websites always ask me
what type of house I want to search,like single family home, town
house, house. What is the difference?

Town house is American realtor language
for the British terrace house or row house.
It is a single family house attached to both
neighbours (except for the unit at each end
of the row, which qualifies as semi-detached.)
