side by side or alongside

Hi,

"The two houses stood side by side."
"The two houses stood alongside of each other."

I have two questions.
Which one is common to be used?
If such a sentence was the beginning of a tale, could it be:
Two houses stood...
Some two houses stood...
There were two houses standing...

Thanks in advance.
