Homes (and flats) in North America are substantially bigger than those in the US and you generally don't have to go 'way out'. If you go 'substantially out of town' in North America you can live in quite a seriously large home, a size that generally doesn't have comparison in Europe. Finally, in North America, in most places just 2 hours from the city you can have 'vast' acreage. Very big plots of land. So the 'size' comparison from flats, to suburban homes, to extra urban homes, to mini-ranches doesn't really compare. Of course, that comes with significantly more energy usage.
