5000 sq ft?? My family of four lives in 1000 and it’s only a bit cramped. Each kid has their own room. I knew homes in the US are larger than in Europe but I’m surprised about the difference.
I live in the US and 5000 sq ft is unheard of even in most affordable of all places. 3000 is more like it - still big but only in cheaper places. As you get to costlier real estate markets 1800 sq ft is not uncommon.
New houses for a family of 6 tend to be 2300-3000 sq feet. I live in an older house with a family of 6 that is 1800 sq feet. 5,000 sq feet built for a family of 4 tends to be limited to penthouse suites that cost tens of millions of dollars.
