an 1,100 sq ft home that has 3 bedrooms... how is that even possible?  The one bedroom plus den I rented after college was 1,100 sq ft.  That's crazy![/quote]

We bought a small house last spring that is just over 1,000 sqf. including the finished basement.   I'm not exactly sure what the sq footage would be without the basement, but i'd guess about 700 sqf.   It's 2 bedrooms and one bath, so considering the finished basement room would be a decent size bedroom, a 3 bedroom 1,100 sqf house doesn't seem "crazy" to me at all.

The bedrooms are small (13 x 9 and 11 x 8) but can easily fit a full size bed, 2 night stands, and a dresser.  There's a small living room (but big enough to fit a full size sectional) and an eat in kitchen.
We have two kids that go to the same university, so we bought this house for them to live in, instead of them renting an apartment or living in the dorms beyond their freshman year (required for freshmen to live in the dorms at their school.)  The house is actually bigger than the 2 bedroom apartment that the older son rented with a friend last year, but since it's a single family house it has the benefit of a decent size backyard, a little front porch, an attached garage, and most importantly no neighbors sharing walls![/quote]
