Rows of houses with more than two units can be tagged with house=terraced.
Alternate tagging
In December 2020, over 90% of uses of house=semi-detached were in Ireland. However, as of 27 June 2026, just under half (48.6%) of those tags were in Ireland.
Most mappers prefer to map this as building=semidetached_house, modifying the building tag itself.
