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:
- Posts can be about ugly houses in general
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- No Screenshots
-->Crop your photos correctly.
- Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.

Wow, I think that's actually an amazing house for the price!
Holy shit, yeah. But it's definitely still a McMansion when you note that most of the first-floor flooring is poured concrete and the second floor all plywood.
This is a potentially beautiful house, but needs a whole hell of a lot more work than you'd see at first glance. I was looking at a (much smaller) house in my area like that. If I'm going near the top of my budget (which is admittedly lower than this listing) I need a house that's move-in ready. That means value-store rugs on top of all those floors for however many years I can't imagine.
And 7 bathrooms is stupid for 7 bedrooms.
One thing I've noticed about mansions is that they seem to have a ridiculous number of bathrooms. Since this is clearly masquerading as a mansion, it needs all 7 bathrooms at least! Lol
