Who buys split level houses?

[Anonymous]

Seems like it would be a real act of resignation/acknowledgment of defeat to buy one of those. Do most people intend on doing a facelift/renovation to change the style? Or do some people actually like split levels?

Some people actually like split levels, OP.

Imagine that -- people think differently than you.

Split levels have great use of space on the inside compared to colonials and cape cods. I don't like the outside either, but I think people spend a lot more time using and looking at their houses from the inside than from the outside.

I wish people who start troll posts would try harder. This is truly lame, OP.

I really hate them and just couldn't buy them. I hate how it looks like the ground got hungry and is eating the house (since the lower windows are half underground).

Surely there are bigger mysteries to ponder.

I think you mean you live in a neocolonial house? Or was it actually built in the 1700s?

I bought one so I could hang myself across 3 levels of a single family home!

People who want to live in locations where the available stock is split level houses.

I looked at one in North Arl or south Mclean for about 750 that smelled like mold and was so tiny. That pretty much clued us in that we were going to have to pay a lot more for a house.

I call BS. I don't think anyone actually prefers a split level.

PP means colonial style. Are you ESOL?

Split level or split foyer?

A split foyer would bug me -- the immediate up or down decision upon entry -- but I genuinely love our 1960s 5-level split. Tons of space, interesting decorating possibilities, sort of midcentury modern if I felt like claiming something cooler than I actually own... To each her own, though.

I'm just surprised she had a 250 year old house. "Colonial" is not a style of modern house, but neocolonial is.

I like split-levels.
