+1  We've got a family of 4 in about 2000sqft and it's perfect. I can't imagine how much cleaning we've have to do and clutter we'd have accumulated with 5000 sqft.    Marie Kondo your world and you'll be fine.[/quote]

We had that much space for 4 and it was too small for us - it was stressful to not really have enough room to store things, and to need to get rid of something every time you wanted something new.  Cleaning was a pain because so many things needed to be moved out of the way to clean. Now we're in nearly twice as much space and it is too much space in a lot of ways.  Layout matters as much as square footage.  OP- how old are your kids?  If they are high school or near high school age, agree with PPs who suggest renting. You can get a bigger place and then downsize once kids are in college.  For a family of five, I would think 3,500 sq foot (including basement) four bedroom is ideal.  There aren't many in DC, but if you can find a split level, I think they offer a lot more useable space for the money.[/quote]
