What Is a Modern Villa? A villa is a term also used to describe a condominium or some other type of residence that’s owned by a homeowners association (HOA). As opposed to large, grand mansions, villas may be semi-detached properties, where residents share a common wall with another residence.

This means for a family of three, the ideal house size is 1,800 – 2,100 square feet. For a family of four, the ideal house size is between 2,400 – 2,800 square feet and so forth. It’s up to you to decide how much space you’re most comfortable with up to 3,027 square feet (if you consider yourself middle class).

“Small homes” are defined as 1,400 feet or less today, and in spite of whatever articles I’ve read about the merits of smaller-house living—cheaper (usually), less to maintain, and so on—small houses have shrunk to 4 percent of new-home construction.

2000 sq ft is a comfortable size home for a family of up to 5. A living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen, and often a separate family room are what you would get. There are usually 4 reasonable-sized bedrooms, 2 4-PC washrooms, and a powder room.

1200 sq ft can be 40 feet in length and 30 feet in width. It isFFICIENT for a house of 800 sq ft to have two bedrooms for a family. The area of you concern is less than the size of the parcel.

So, if you own an average, three-bedroom house – about 1,200-1,300 square feet or 110-120 square metres (and that includes all lived in-space, even hallways) – you should be looking for something in the region of 1,600 square feet or more or 147-plus square metres.
