Vines and Climbers: What should I grow up my home's facade?, 1 by Wifeygirl

Hi folks!
I would like to grow a vine up the front of my house. I am thinking Boston Ivy, but people keep warning me away from it. Do you have other recommendations for vines that would behave better than Boston Ivy and yet would stick to the home of their own accord?

The thing about Boston Ivy is that I love the regular/patterned look of the leaves and the green wall that they create. Other vines that I've seen seem very bushy and wild looking. Is there something that gives the same effect without the negatives?
Thanks!

P.S. I'm looking to grow it up the left-hand side and across, or potentially start two, one on the left and the other on the wall between the entry and the garage.
