What size is your house? (Sq M or Sq Ft)

In My Humble Opinion
1

After reading a little of this thread, and hearing the sizes of some peoples houses and having them listed as ‘modest’ etc… I was curious as to the average size of Dopers houses throughout the world. Theay are obviously going to vary greatly, with the US and possiblly Australia leading the way.

Can you list the Sq footage of your property, and the location by country for my nosy poll. Thanks.

My house is tiny compared to most, I’m sure, (but it’s mine)…

Northern Ireland: 2 bedroom cottage bungalow, 700 Sq Ft.

What about yours?

Alberta, Canada.

1300 sq/ft upstairs 3 bedroom, 2 bath. About another 600 or so for the finished part of the basement (family room, rec room).

Fairly typical for middle class homes in Alberta.

North of Little Rock, Arkansas. just over 1200 sq. ft, on a 1/4 acre lot (big backyard w/ privacy fence). 2 car garage. single story, 3 bed, 2 bath.

it’s cozy…our own little hobbit-hole. pretty average for around here, though, excluding trailers and estates.

I live in an old mill building converted to condos in Lowell, MA. 700 sq feet. It’s all one big open room. (except the bathroom!)

12

Houston, TX – 2000 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car attached garage on a standard lot (1/4 acre?), with privacy fence for the backyard.

13

I think the real estate agents had my house listed as 1900 sq ft., but I’m not sure what they were smoking. I’m guessing the actual value is closer to 1500 - 1600 sq ft., but by some miracle of architecture that I can’t quite figure out, it feels smaller than that.

But I’ve got 4 acres and a huge detached garage/storage area so it could be worse.

14
