[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to hate split levels until I moved into one. And brick. And vinyl siding. Guess what? We weren't going to find a house we could afford in a neighborhood we liked around here that wasn't a rambler or split-level, and half-brick / half-vinyl. Turns out split-levels are super functional. Who knew? And when I drive through my neighborhood these days, I think "what a nice place to live" instead of "these houses are all so ugly". I still really hate the decorative glass plating on our front door though :)[/quote] Agree, this is the general consensus if you want to live in a good area and aren't a millionaire you will need to live in an older uglier house than a newer nice looking McMansion.[/quote] I agree about the livability of a split. When we moved to the area, I said no way did I want a split. Well, fell in love with my neighborhood and my brick split level (with fake shutters -- eek!). I find the split very livable, especially with kids. Not too many stairs up or down. Au Pair bedroom and bath on the lower level away from the rest of the family bedrooms for privacy (hers and ours), yet still on the street level so she has full windows, a legal exit and daylight. It couldn't be better.[/quote]
