[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No exactly what you’re asking but close enough that I’ll bite.

We’re in one of those big row houses that was converted into a two unit condo. So we have the bottom two floors. Our square footage is 2000, which is def bigger than most of the other row houses we looked at!

We have one small bedroom and a full bath on the main floor. Our daughter has that bedroom. Then the other floor has two huge bedrooms each with it’s own bathroom. We have one; our two sons share the other. It’s plenty of space for us.

Most of the other three bedroom row houses we looked at were 1300 sq ft. Generally they just had a half bath on the main floor, then three bedrooms upstairs, at least one of which was usually TINY, and then either just a shared hall bathroom, or sometimes also a master bath (so either 1.5 or 2.5 baths). They all felt much more like starter homes for people with two kids - once the baby outgrew the crib, you’d outgrow the house. Or a forever home for people with an only child (third bedroom making a much better office or playroom than bedroom). [/quote]

The average home in the 1960s was 1200 sq. feet.  Kids shared rooms and everyone shared bathrooms.  This is still the case in Europe, including NEW homes in Germany, France, the Netherlands, etc.
