Since 1960s, the Twin Cities has grown explosively to become one of America’s most dynamic and thriving metropolitan area. Following the post-WWII housing boom, architects, builders and developers shifted from designing and building economically priced houses close to Minneapolis and St. Paul to designing contemporary houses in the rapidly expanding suburbs. Buyers were increasingly looking for innovative designs that were more spacious, more interesting, and more adaptable to changes in technology, lifestyles, and increasing affluence.

Starting in the 1970s, multi-level, split-entry houses became the new standard, offering the space and flexibility. Today, the range of contemporary homes in the Twin Cities Metro Area is enormous, and the listings by Northstar MN MLS members make that clear.

• Bi-Level Split Entry Houses – On entering one of these houses, short staircases lead to the two levels of the home. Adding visual interest and allowing unique design strategies, these designs started appearing in the 1960s as an alternative to the limited design possibilities of rambler-style homes. New materials and larger floor plans made these split-level homes popular as suburban living beckoned Twin City residents to move away from the bustle of the city to quieter suburbs. Today, you’ll find a wide variety of these bi-level homes in listings by Northstar MLS MN members. Moderate in price and varying in floor plans, they continue to be popular with growing families.
• Three-Level Split-Entry Houses – As incomes grew in the Twin Cities expanding economy, the need for more spacious houses led developers and architects to design three-level split-entry houses to meet the demand for larger floor plans with more space for active family living. They often incorporate walkout basement levels, along with the two main and upper levels. Meeting changes in lifestyle and accommodating the needs of adults and older children, these houses quickly grew in popularity and are still being built today. These homes are available throughout the Minneapolis St. Paul metro area.
• Four-Level Split-Entry Houses – Offering large, spacious floor plans that allow for an active diverse lifestyle, these expansive homes are among the most popular designs in upscale suburban communities and developments throughout the Twin Cities metro area.
