There's a wide variety of options between "tiny house" and 2,600 square feet. Many of the post world-war 2 era homes in my area are ~1,000 sq. ft. (+/- 100 sq.

There's a wide variety of options between "tiny house" and 2,600 square feet. Many of the post world-war 2 era homes in my area are ~1,000 sq. ft. (+/- 100 sq. ft). It's more than plenty for 2 people.
- lettergram 7y agoFor reference, we have a roommate and two kids. Only one guest room left so pretty much a good fit. Agreed 1000 sq. ft. Is great for two. Living in SF I had a 750 sq. Ft. Apartment with three people and it felt fine.
- jimktrains2 7y agoWe have a 1926-built 1,400sqft house and it's more than enough for a family of 4.
- mrexroad 7y agoBay Area post war housing just a bit over ~1k sq.ft. There’s 5 of us + a dog. We survive, but the overhead of having to constantly repurpose the same physical space for multiple activities (homework, dinner, etc) gets tiring at times now with kids entering teenage years. For my family size, I think ~1600sqft would be ideal. A two car garage would be nice as well. Will probably have my kids help me plan, permit, and build an ADU in another year or two. Figure that’ll be a good summer project they’ll probably hate at the time, but appreciate down the road.
