Do homes in Illinois/Indiana have basements?

Question

I am possibly looking to buy a home in Illinois or Indiana and was curious if they have basements or not. I've seen older homes with them but not newer homes. Anyone know?

Answer 1

they both have homes with basements, and some of the newer homes have them also.

Answer 2

i grew up in Northwest Indiana and 90% of the homes had basements.

Answer 3

My dad built the 3rd house in Oak brook Terrace,Il.It was then called Utopia in 1951.Somewhere I have a pic and today remember the address.He used concrete blocks (YUK) and was a Carpenter Super for Inland Const out of Chicago.

I can remember the heating oil tank under the front porch,the sump pump and constant concern of the walls seeping water.

So my answer is yes they do have.
