Investopedia explains 'Zero-Lot-Line House '

Zero lot line homes are not just for low-income homebuyers: they are an attractive option for anyone who doesn’t have the time or inclination to maintain a large yard. They are also an appealing alternative to condos because they offer greater privacy and independence while still being low maintenance. However, window placement, noise and a lack of privacy can be issues with these types of homes since there is little to no buffer zone surrounding them.
