I'm not sure if you simply want a layout with 1 fixed side, or for the side to be fixed until it reaches the footer (like Trulia). Here's a simple layout with fixed left side (Split 50 50).

body, html {
    height: 100%;
}

#left {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    bottom: 0;
}

To make the side fixed (or sticky) only at a specific point, position:sticky doesn't work very well across all browsers. I'd use a plugin or polyfill as explained here: How to use CSS position sticky to keep a sidebar visible with Bootstrap 4

Update Bootstrap 4.0.0 - The fixed-top class is now in Bootstrap which can be used on the left side column to remove the extra css that was required for position:fixed.

Update Bootstrap 4.1 - The h-100 class is now available which eliminates the extra CSS that was needed for height:100%: https://codeply.com/go/ySC2l4xcEi

Responsive - As mentioned in the comments, a media query can be used to make the layout responsive: https://codeply.com/go/pqzJB4thBY
