[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  The debate here sounds a lot like the one going on in my current home.  DH grew up in big suburban new build house out West and I grew up in small house on East Coast. We are further along in the search than I probably indicated and the debate is heating up.  I think 2000 + unfinished basement for toys, small yard and attic would be fine.  He thinks 3000 would give us room to grow into.

No clear answers tonight. [/quote]

I think how you grew up definitely shapes expectations.  I grew up in a large single-family home (6000-plus sq ft) with a huge yard and it was such a fun family home.  We always hosted a lot of out-of-town family for holidays, and I always had sleepovers with large groups of friends in elementary school.  We loved and used the space.  My parents still live in the house and while my mom is starting to complain about the size since they only have one kid left living at home, they love having the space for when we all come back home to visit with the grandkids.  It was, and is, my image of a home. [/quote]
