[quote=sdsurfer]How much space does a family really need to be happy?[/quote]
Here is my perspective from a family of 4 incl. 2 kids under 10 living in about 1000 square feet space with 2 bedrooms.
We moved in from a much larger home. Every time I give my kids option to move back, the response I get is: we will be far away from parks, rec center & library. This pretty much lines up with other poster’s experiences.
At this age, my kids are pretty vocal about wanting to spend time with me rather than living in a big house. That might change fast though.
Whenever a friend of mine justifies moving up to a bigger home ‘because’ of a new baby needing space, I chuckle to myself. They have been sold this concept by the realtors, and the babies could care less!
