That would be enormous in Manhattan. Not enormous in dc. Large, yes, enormous no. Whole swaths of DC are practically suburban.

This. The majority of lots in AU Park are 4,000sf. There are very few that are double that, and they are indeed "enormous" for the neighborhood.

Everything is relative, and dependent on specific location.

Really? Most rowhouses have less, no? It may be average in the more suburban parts of the city (like Upper NW), but I doubt it's in the urban parts.

Unless you're in the 0.2%, 0.2 acres (8712 sqft) is enormous in DC. In DC, isn't a lot over 2000 sqft large? A lot 4 times larger is then enormous, no?

Maybe you are not in DC. This is an “enormous” lot in DC.


Defintly not enormous. A good size, yes. Enormous, not even. That is like saying a 7 inch dick is enormous.
