Most of the city of Detroit was within one or two miles of the river when this style of housing was common.

There are some examples of early 20th century attached row housing that is still standing, but there is no neighborhood in Detroit today that is overwhelmingly of that type, like you would find in Philadelphia or Baltimore. It is common in the denser prewar areas of Detroit for a block to be a mixture of detached single house, multi-unit flat, and even apartment buildings. Sometimes row houses are thrown in too.

For instance, this street was dominated by row houses: https://goo.gl/maps/qQ4zPLUMmjWaEBjD9

Shades of Toronto here for sure.
