A single family unit is a house standing all alone whereas a townhouse would have a wall adjacent to another townhouse. It sounds like you would want a single family home if you are interested in a completely separate unit from a neighbor.

A townhouse is a condo that is a 2-story unit so you have shared walls with your neighbors. It's considered "attached" to the other townhouses whereas a house is detached.

A single family house is any dwelling intended for use by one family, which typically means one kitchen. The implication is that it is detached, i.e., does not share a common wall with any other house.
A townhouse is a housing unit, ordinarily of two stories, which shares common walls with other housing units. Many condominium units are townhouses.

A townhouse is the kind that has two homes schmooshed together and mirrored image of eachother. You have a direct neighbor, sharing walls. A single family home, is a regular home. No touching walls and neighbors are at least on the other side of the property line.
