Large lot is 0.20 acres

[Anonymous]

Talked to a real estate agent about an "enormous" lot.... turns out it was only 0.20 acres. Why do people do this, are they engaging in hyperbole or do they genuinely not understand that there are 2,3,5 acre lots not too far from here

While it may be "large" in dc it is not enormous. Words have meanings.

Defintly not enormous. A good size, yes. Enormous, not even. That is like saying a 7 inch dick is enormous.

0.20 acres is large in neighborhoods like AU Park and Lyon Village.

Exactly.
Unless you're in the 0.2%, 0.2 acres (8712 sqft) is enormous in DC.

Unless you're in the 0.2%, 0.2 acres (8712 sqft) is enormous in DC. In DC, isn't a lot over 2000 sqft large? A lot 4 times larger is then enormous, no?

Average lot size in urban DC is 5000 sq ft

Really? Most rowhouses have less, no? It may be average in the more suburban parts of the city (like Upper NW), but I doubt it's in the urban parts.

This. The majority of lots in AU Park are 4,000sf. There are very few that are double that, and they are indeed "enormous" for the neighborhood.

Everything is relative, and dependent on specific location.

That would be enormous in Manhattan. Not enormous in dc. Large, yes, enormous no. Whole swaths of DC are practically suburban.
