Sure just check the fine manual 'man find' on howto restrict
'find' to descend only how deep you want.

Good luck

Here's another quick solution (besides find) if you can deal with ls -l

ls -l | grep '^d'

find . \! -name . -prune -type d -print

Or with most shells:

printf '%s\n' */

With zsh:

print -rl -- *(/)

find . -type d -maxdepth 1

Seems a little easier.

Neither of those would list the dot-directories. How about good ol'
ls(1)...

ls -d */ # just ordinary directories
ls -d .*/ # just dot-directories
ls -d .*/ */ # both

Add `1' (one) to the options (ls -d1) if you need a single column.

But is not Unix. Only in GNU and some BSDs.

It's the shells that provide with the list, ls only displays
them, so printf is just as good for that.

With zsh:

print -rl -- *(D/)

Will still ommit "." and "..".

print -rl -- . .. *(D/)

if you need them.

Also, assuming the filenames don't contain newline characters:

ls -Fa | grep /

If one only wants single-column output, then do
not fork an entire process just to do it:

print -r -- .*/. */.

P.S.:

RTFM for shell option modifiers that can affect
the above behavior:

set -m & set -o markdirs
set -n & set -o noglob

BUG: Unfortunately, in ksh(1), the converse does
NOT emit only non-directory files:

print -r -- !(*/.) # doesn't work!

OK. I've been spoiled too much by GNU/find. :-) However, I do think
it is probably a safe bet that the OP is using GNU/find.

I am kind of comfused as in how is using find a safe bet.
which is more useful and basic find or ls

Try using the find utility:

find . -type d -maxdepth 1

That shows all directories in current folder, only directories, only
one level of depth.

Example:

Hostname:~ user$ find . -type d -maxdepth 1
..
../.emacs.d
../.gimp-2.0
../.gimp-2.0-etc
../.MacOSX
../.mutt
../.ssh
../.subversion
../.Trash
../Desktop
../Documents
../Library
../Mail
../Movies
../Music
../Pictures
../Public
../Sites
Hostname:~ user$
