[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the separation/noise buffer they kind of naturally provide, depending on where you are in the house. Plus they're more aesthetically pleasing/interesting than cookie cutter colonials any day.[/quote]

Really? I live in one and I feel like you can hear everything. It’s only a bonus if you have kids and want to keep an eye on what they are doing.[/quote]

Same, we live in a split and can hear everything.

Pros: More living space for your buck (each of our floors is pretty open, so even though the house is only 1800 sq ft, we have an open kitchen/dining/living space, and an open family room below.

Cons:  heat distribution SUCKS.  We had to run space heaters downstairs and upstairs was hot this winter.  This might just be a function of it being a 1950's house.  If you can redo the duct work and put in insulation in the walls, this may be less of a problem.

The number of stairs is also somewhat of a con; I twisted my knee and having to go up or down all the time is difficult. [/quote]
