My garage is 2400 sq ft! 
Fagjunk Theology: Not just for sodomite propagandists anymore.
Something like 2300 sq ft, 4 bed/2 bath/no garage. Driveway instead, in the usual Texas style it’s behind the house.
Moving from that into a 1/1, 791 sq feet. Oh, I love my new apartment. 
Nah - that’s what you hire someone else to do. 
North Atlanta here (Alpharetta):
3300 sq. ft. not including the unfinished basement on a 1/2 acre in a cul-de-sac
US, New Hampshire, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2227 sq. ft., which includes the finished half of the basement.
Previous house:
US, Texas, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1450 sq. ft. Big difference was no upstairs or basement, but it was on about the same size lot as our current house.
US, Indiana.
3 bedroom 1.5 bath, four kids.
1800 square feet. We have a full basement that would give us a lot more space if we finished it, but by the time we got done, the kids would all be grown and we wouldn’t need it anymore.
Instead, maybe we’ll convert the screened porch…it’s the size of our two-car garage.
It’s a nice-sized house, but I feel packed in here sometimes with all the kids!
US, Wisconsin
1950 sq. ft. + 200 sq. ft. sunroom + 300 sq. ft. finished space in the basement.
3 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms/3 car attached garage on a 1/3 acre lot
Fort Worth, Texas
17,000 s.f.
1 Bedroom, 2 baths.
17,000? I knew you and Heags was livin large, but dayum!!
U.S.A. Texas, Kingwood (suburb of Houston)
2,800 sq. ft.
4 bedroom, 3 1/2 half bath, 2 1/2 car detached garage, on a cul de sac. I don’t know the lot size. It’s no bigger than anyone elses in the neighborhood. We have less yard, because most the houses are two story and ours is one story and takes up more land to meet the minimum requirements for sq. footage. (2,800 is the minimum for the area)
Our house is 1298 sq. ft., 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath. There’s also a full unfinished basement that we could finish out and add to footage, but that would just be more rooms I don’t want to clean.
:smack:
uh, yeah. we, uh, live in a warehouse…
The corrected version should be:
1,700 s.f. 1 bedroom, 2 baths.
17,000 would be much, much nicer though…
There are only three posts from Canada in this thread (at least that were obvious) and that includes bernse, alice_in_wonderland and myself (heh! All living in Alberta too ) ::musing over possibility of a Western Canadopefest::
So the average sf works out to…oh wait. I can include Niggle as well from the thread you referenced Aro, because (s)he posted 750 sf.
So then, including my own, this survey averages 1858.5 sf for north of the border. But that’s only an average of 4 dwelling units so, over all, not a great representation.
As for me, I’m in a bungalow w/loft hidden in 3.2 acres of trees. Living in the house but it is yet unfinished. 5 bedrooms, recording studio, craft room and the loft/library. 4383 sf.
Do you have an update on the averages for US/elsewhere Aro?
Near Madison, Wisconsin

The garage is almost as big as the house!
Southeast Michigan

Will be looking for something a little bigger next Spring…

Damn, you must be doing alright. Which one is your primary residence?
I live about 25 miles from downtown Boston. IIRC our house is about 2400 sq. feet. We have 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and our lot size is just over 10,000 square feet, which is the minimum in our town for new houses (ours was built in 1996, most of the houses in our town are much older).
Basically, we have a big house on a small lot. Our main complaint is that the upstairs is huge because the master bedroom is over the two car garage, but the downstairs is smallish and not laid out the way we would have done it. And it would be impossible to add onto our house without getting a variance from our town…the walls are about as close to the property lines as they are allowed to be.
Providence, RI:
A house with three apartments, two of which have 1100 sq. feet, and the third around 950. We currently occupy one of the 1100’s, and will at some point reclaim the third floor, the 950 – the second and third floors were one apartment in 1891, but were separated in the 1930’s. As soon as we don’t need the rental income…
700 sq feet apartment. And apartments are pretty much all one gets in HK
Edmonton, Alberta.
2 Stories up, ~2600 ft.
Walkout basement adds another 1400, so when it’s developed, we’ll be at 4000 sq ft.
View from our living room before the landscaping was done. Now we have a nice brick patio and a brick sidewalk leading to a stone firepit.
