Maybe "row housing"? "Block housing" evokes images of soviet-era detached apartment buildings.

  “Soviet-era”? What era is that? I think they are referring to post-war social housing common in Europe. The concrete exteriors were meant to convey stability in a society wrought with precarity. Those raised in these buildings generally express this exact sense of appreciation. An architecture nerd, I find these buildings simply marvelous. The style is termed ‘Brutalist’ architecture. EDIT: I didn’t see their link before but, after following it, I guess it’s not what they meant.
