Probably only with permission from the building officials and from any home-owners' association with jurisdiction. Zoning or building laws often have restrictions on construction on or close to the property line, often requiring notice (if not permission) from the other other. At the very least, you could argue that there is a bigger fire hazard (or other life and safety issue: more bedrooms mean bigger septic problem etc) created by the new structure, if not a "general welfare" issue (less light, obstructed view, aesthetic decline, and indirect impact on school budget, tax assessments, etc).

If you were to combine the two properties into one, you might be able to do so. Or divide the properties differently so that the appropriate setbacks can be met.

How are townhouses different from condominiums and apartments?

A townhouse can be an apartment--from a living perspective, it is defined as a dwelling which is attached to the adjacent properties and which has two or more stories. From an ownership perspective, a townhouse differs from a condominium in that the owner of a townhouse owns their building and the land underneath it while a condo owner owns the airspace between the demising walls of their property and then a shared interest in the rest of the property (i.e., if a development has 60 condo units, everyone owns their airspace and then 1/60th of the total property). In general, townhouses only have neighboring units on the sides have no other units above, below or behind them. Quite frequently, townhouses also come with front or back yards. Apartments and condominiums normally do not have yards and often have neighboring units on all sides except.
