American ones. Especially our newer houses. So similar.
Sometimes when you're looking at a suburban street in America, you can't really tell the difference (whether it's Australian or American). Even the pavements/sidewalks are similar. We both have a grass and a pavement next to it.
UK homes have that classical/antique look from the outside, and they are distinctive. Even the new ones do. I think it's just their style. And you can really tell that they're British homes. |

American ones, I would say. |

Houses in Queensland, AUS are very similar to houses in the Southern part of the US: Florida, Georgia, Texas etc and west states of California and Arizonia. especially in Texas, you see a kind of " Queenslander house" AND in both places they don't have basements. Homes in the Northeast of the US are typically old, multistory with basements much like you would see in the UK. But overall, I would have to answer this question by saying that the houses in AUS are alot like the warm weather states in the US. |

In Australia we don't have the kind of 'two up, two down' that is most common in the UK. We have more like what the English call bungalows. Until recently most of our houses were one storey with 3 bedrooms being the average. Over the last ten years or so there seems to be a trend among new home buyers towards huge two storey houses. Heaven knows why when you consider how environmentally unfriendly they are but there you have it.
For a good idea of what our houses are like, have a look at http://www.realestate.com.au/ |
