POLL: What’s the minimum sq ft for your primary residence you’d be comfortable in with a family of six?

I grew up with 6 people in the house. Total living space of 1200 Sq Ft. We rented the basement.

I grew up in a 1000 square foot home with a family of 6. I think it was too small.

And now you buying 84 inch TVs and hiring multiple cleaning ladies

I only dream of those things

What does "comfortable" mean? I find it hard to see that so many of you couldn't be "comfortable" in

We 6 are good in our 1850 sq ft. But our floorplan has no wasted space. (Okay, sometimes it feels a little cramped.)

We're a family of 7 in 2,400 sq ft. which is plenty of space

1500 per person is a good rule of thumb

Hard to disagree with that.

So unless TNT's math is wrong. 5000 sq ft? Isn't that a bit big?

TNT

I can’t wait to build my 10,500 sq foot home!

2/16/18 7:32pm

One day you'll get there!

I’d be comfortable with 2,600 for my family of 6.

SuperTank

That’s about what we have for my family of 6

3000 works for our family of 8. Any more is just more to clean.

grew up 8 people in 1750 sq ft. that seems a little small now.

We have 7 in just under 1800, it's cramped.
