# Terraced House (Radhus)

## Definition

Radhus (terraced houses) are attached houses in a row where each unit shares walls with its neighbors but has its own entrance, garden, and often its own garage. It is a popular housing form in Sweden, especially for families with children who want access to outdoor space without the cost of a detached villa.

Terraced houses can be held as rental, cooperative, or freehold. In rental form, they are managed by housing companies and tenants have full tenant protection. As a cooperative, the radhus belongs to a BRF with shared responsibility for exterior maintenance. In freehold, you own the entire property including the land. Radhus areas often have common rules regarding facade changes and garden maintenance.
