[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's say you were gifted a primary residence anywhere you choose to raise your family, in this case two parents and two kids. A fair amount of extended family including both sets of parents might like to visit. How big would the house be? Is there a point at which a house is too big for comfort, and if so, where would you draw the line? [/quote] I think for a family of 4, 2,000 sq ft built space is plenty. I say that as a person who who lived in homes from 600 to 6000 sq feet. If its a walkable urban area and house has a porch and yard, you can manage well in 1500 sq ft.[/quote] I agree that the location matters. I'm the pp with the 3,600 sq ft first house that was in a very urban part of DC. We were 1 block from a gym with childcare, so we didn't need to have a home gym. We needed a home gym at our next home that was in a more suburban setting because we won't go to the gym if we have to drive there.[/quote]
