They exist. Just very expensive.

as far as I know, there is only ONE free-standing house in Manhattan, and it is currently on the market for $13m - http://www.corcoran.com/nyc/Listings/Display/877330
There's a bunch of free-standing houses scattered through Inwood and Marble Hill. Not that they're a large portion of Manhattan's housing stock, and they're certainly not central, but they're there.

That listing's claiming to be the only free-standing mansion - which sounds a bit arbitrary to me.
