Would you move back to a terrace/semi vs a detached

I absolutely appreciate the space our detatched house provides but thinking of downsizing back to a semi/terrace in a more expensive locale for other reasons.

DH thinks ive forgotten all the cons of terrace/semis and we'd go crazy if we went back to something similar to our previous Victorian terrace especially now we WFH more and chances of
future lockdown/isolation (family of 4 in a 3 double bedrooms 1 box room about 1500 sq ft and 40 ft mostly patio garden). I think it's far more easily maintained and we had the same size dining table, furniture, things... but much less privacy in terms of noise (I could hear the neighbour's kids all the time and sure they could do ours). But a street of terrace was also more community minded, I missed that.

What do you think?

There is a newspaper article about a multi million pound terrace in London with neighbourly dispute. One side has children who are musical and has won a battle to let their children practice the piano 5 hours a day!! And up to 9pm at night. Give me strength
