Buenos dias,

¿Alguien sabe la diferencia entre adosada y pareada?

Tengo que traducir la pagina web de una inmobiliaria y ofrecen casas adosadas y pareadas, y no estoy segura como traducirlo.

Gracias.

Hasta donde yo sé, las viviendas pareadas son adosados de dos en dos, y los adosados suelen ser, digamos, varias viviendas encadenadas (por aquí generalmente cuatro o cinco).
