A Community about large, cheaply built, suburban homes with design flaws and a lack of architectural integrity also known as “McMansions.” On Thursdays we celebrate the opposite: good suburban architectural design.

Based off the famous subreddit r/mcmansionhell, we will essentially do all the same here, as is over there. Please do your best and crosspost if you need too!

We need mods!! Please please help!

A Short Guide

Friends at c/badrealestate!

Here are the rules:

  1. Posts can be about ugly houses in general
  2. Post appropriately and with correct tags WITHIN the title so it is easy to search. -->Tags: "Thursday Design Appreciation" or "HouseTDA", "Just Ugly", "Shitpost", "Certified McMansion™", "Discussion/Debate", and "Interior" are available.
  3. All post subjects must be single family homes -->Only post suburban, single family homes. No apartments or duplexes, etc. The community is focused on specifically traditional suburban architecture.
  4. Don't post addresses or other easily identifiable information unless it is publicly listed. -->Keep the information about the property you are posting basic and general. However, if the home is listed on a public website you are permitted to post a link to the public listing.
  5. Direct Images Only, no links please. -->Post correctly cropped, direct images and not links to websites. Image hosting links, such as Imgur, are an exception, but we still prefer a direct image. Zillow house page, for example, is ok if it directly links to the photos and such.
  6. No Spam -->No posting an excessive amount in a row on the same day or posting the same comment on several posts at once. We have seen it, we just didn't react to it. Please understand that.
  7. No Screenshots -->Crop your photos correctly.
  8. Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.

I really really really don't like those tiny dormers with the huge roof. It's just...eugh. Also the interior rock decor, it looks like wallpaper...

(Sh.itjust.works is acting weird and not letting me copy paste images quickly, so I'm just gonna link like this for now)

I'm not sure if this is a mcmansion. I just don't like that it's all white like that but then it has the rock corner. It's weird. Also, is there enough gutters? Wouldn't water pool on the balcony?

It caught my eye, that the side of the house has.... seams. I don't think that's good. (Redfin link)

I know this area a bit well, so... I'm aware that there are more houses like that here. Although, it's not all like this. It just makes me sad that a bunch of uncultured rich people basically took over in the last 20 years or so.

I nightmare everyday thinking that my house would end up this way. I ask the Earth for its forgiveness.

I'm not sure if this is a mcmansion. It's 22mil for an island and, it does have a few questionable decisions but I'm really not sure.

Let's discuss!

There are a lot of pictures! I'm not sold XD

This is definitely a mcmansion - it's very ugly on the exterior shots (from what we can see). Lots of chimneys and uneven window types. I just don't like it XD Also BOWLING!!!

I wonder if the materials for the outside are even good and will hold up to the vines all around it.
