I'm a bit of a minimalist and dream of a well designed ~~tiny~~ small home. You can cram all of the bells and whistles of modern living in 800-1100 square feet easily and be comfortable while you're at it. It only gets tricky when kids come into the picture, id imagine. But I'm dreaming of a ~~tiny~~ small home so I don't think kids are a reasonable decision financially lol

That's not really a tiny home, that's just a slightly smaller house. They have a tiny home show where I live, and the biggest ones are 350-ish sq ft. Most are under 200. I'd love to get really crazy and build one that's like 400sq ft - when they're really well designed, that feels massive, but it's still small enough to clean in like, an hour.

Yeah 1000/1100 is in the "small but normal" territory. 800/900 is fairly small if your household has more than one person though. But well designed I could see 400-500 being pretty cozy. Tbh, with 800 sq ft I'd have like 300 living and sleeping space and the rest for my kitchen and bathroom lol. I don't have a dream house, I have a dream shower and kitchen

I renovate apartments/condos for a living. The average single person unit here is 620-650sq ft in my experience. 800-900 is waaay above average for a single person.

We are having a child in 2 weeks and the 3 of us will live in a 650 for a year or two until we buy. It's going to be cramped.
