[quote=Anonymous]We are tearing down an 1100 sq ft home and building a much larger one on a quarter acre lot.  Several of the houses around it are not huge but have been added onto so that they are maybe 2,200 to 3,000 sq ft.  Further down the street there are houses of a similar size to or larger than our new one.  This is in an area of very pricey homes, where $750K or so is clearly the entry point, and we paid $750K for the tear down.  The upper limit is in the millions, $4 or more, I think.

We have had some problems with neighbors over the construction.  What is bizarre about it in our case is you only have to go one or two streets over or just further down our street to see homes even bigger and literally a million or two more than our house, yet this little end of the street seems to think it is its own enclave.  Luckily everything we want to do is within the zoning rules, and the house is in keeping with the look of the houses around it, even though it is much larger.  No Potomac castle for us.[/quote]
