Create improvement with right row of houses (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

terrace

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'row of houses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'create improvement with right' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'create' is 'terace' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for terrace that I've seen before include "Paved area by building" , "Stadium's standing area" , "Continuous row of houses" , "Row of attached houses" , "Row of usually identical and connected houses" .)
