Are You Living In a Small/Large House/Apartment?

I have a relatively large home but it is needed. I have 3 kids and my husband and I love our own space. We both have home based businesses that require us to have an office. He is in school via distance learning as well. I love crafts and have tons of scrapbooking stuff, books, decorations, etc. We also have 2 dogs that come in at times. I love the fact that we have a great deal of space but it fills up fast. We need more storage space. The utility bills can get quite expensive and the house is very hard to keep clean. So there are some cons to having a large home. The pros also include having a foyer large enough for the kids to play a little bit inside when the weather is bad outside and they have a play room that helps to keep there toys away.

The house I live in is over fifty years old and from the outside would be considered small. However, when you get inside, you'd notice that the rooms are quite large (at least in the original part). We added onto the house several years ago and those rooms are rather small. It's a good size for those of us who live here, but I'd love to have two full baths rather than one and I'd love to redo the kitchen which is a galley style and just too narrow for my liking.

I live in a normal sized home, I think, of about 2100 sq feet. I have 3 bedrooms (one of which we use now as a computer room), 3 baths, LR, DR, Den, Kitchen, and laundry room. We also have a full basement, and one really big room finished down there that I used to have my sewing business in - I retired from the custom drapery business. We live in the country, although someone is buying the property beside us which runs some behind our back yard and we are afraid there will be mobile homes or something else back there before long. And, we don't look forward to that. We have an all electric home, but heat mostly with gas logs in our fireplace in the winter.

Hi Chevee, That is nice and cosey, I have two bedroom house which we bought in the early 80s and in 16 months time we would paid it off and it will be all ours, it one of the brand homes that was built by Wimpy and it is quite small, I got a kitchen living room and we had to put in a conservetary, I bathroom main bedroom and i other bedroom but we also use that as the office and computer room.

We live in three countries so we only need small apartment. We live in size ranging from 115 sqm-200 sqm apartment but its pretty tidy and it make us actually more realistic of what we need to have.

I live in a small home, but a nice one. I like my home very much. I have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a hall, a kitchen and a store. I have a small courtyard, where I grew a lot of flowering plants. I love my home very much. I use to sit in my courtyard in the evenings and watch my son playing over there.

My wife and I are living in a 1 bedroom apartment right now; it's a nice "meanwhile" as we are saving to purchase a home within the next couple of years and I am still working to get my teaching credentials and my Master's degree. Here in California we have programs that help teachers and educators purchase homes with low interest loans or assistance with the payments in order to get us to stay in-state to teach and we're going to wait until I finish completely and get a teaching job. It's a pretty big sized apartment, though; it's 725 sq ft. We've got a living room, a small "nook" type area that we use as an "office" with the computer, a nice kitchen, vaulted ceilings (we live on the 3rd floor, which is the top floor in our building, so the ceilings are higher) and a nice-sezed bedroom with separate shower and bath. It's a quaint place; the size helps us out cause we don't need a lot of furniture and it's still very cozy.

Hi! I live in a big apartment with my sister and a roommate. We have a sunroom and a big basement. The apartment has three bedrooms but only one bathroom! Good thing we all have different work schedules so it's fine. It's semi-furnished and everything works fine (ex. the heater, washing machine, dryer, etc.). Oh, there's no airconditioning so we just use the ceiling fans. Not much of a problem, though, because the ventilation is fine. We don't feel so warm during the summer. I like it here. Happy myLotting!

Hubby and I have a huge house. We love it for it has everything and then some that we wanted except for one thing which is to be off a main road. We are far off the road a ways but still, my cats like to cross it. We have almost 5 acres as well and most of it is wooded. There's 4 bedrooms however, we could put more in if we wanted to but we like it the way it is.

We live in a single wide mobile home that has 1100 sq feet. It has three bedrooms and two baths, a living room, kitchen, and little laundry room. It's small, but plenty big enough for the three of us.

Mine has a master bedroom in the first floor and 2 more bedrooms upstairs. It a spacious living room, a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a garage, an open veranda at the rooftop of our garage, and a fairly sized garden. It has been built in an elevated land in order to be safe from the flood that frequent the place. We own this house. My hubby and my only son are with me in this house.

i live in an apartment over a dry cleaning plant. i wish i could say i have a loft. one of those grand spaces like in ghost. but it's not. the plant and building are over 100 years old. it has the old arched, rounded doorways. i have 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a huge kitchen. it has an old built-in farm type of 20 odd cupboards and drawers in one handbuilt unit. it even has a potato bin ! (ask if you don't know how that looks). i am an artist, and i turned my art studio into my computer room as i spend more time online than creating. i go ins tages between the two. after my daughter married and moved, i turned her bedroom into my storage room. it's the inside bedroom and has no windows. all my plants need windows. my utilities and rent are modest. i hardly ever have to turn my heat on in the winter because of the heat and steam generated downstairs. the summer, however, is a totally different story. i have my office and living room air conditioned. though i'm rarely in the LR, so i don't turn it on too often. if i can make it till, oh 8pm, there is a lovely stream next to me and cool air comes in my BR window. so i am able to sleep. i have a screened in wrap porch all around the back, so it's nice to sit there in the evening. feeling the cool creek air, listening to the crickets. and, sadly the traffic, too. i've been here 12 years. it's old and funky like me.

We have a 3 bedroom double wide mobile home. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, dining room, living room. One of our bedrooms we use for a computer room and one we use for an exercise room - but we don't use it much LOL. We love our home. It's not too big or small. Just the right size for the two of us. I don't like really big houses.

You seem to have all the comforts of a nice home. We have a small house on a 4 hec property, lots of trees, hill views, flora and fauna surround us, 3 dams where the children raft on the largest one. They catch yabbies there, too.

When I am at home and not at school, I generally live in a pretty big house or at least what some people consider a pretty big house. Technically we have 4 bedrooms, and one of those is a large master bedroom. We have two living rooms, and a pretty large kitchen. The kitchen has a small sitting table where the sink and fridge is, and then the larger part of the kitchen where the stove and cabinets are. That is also our dining room area of the house I guess you could say. We also have a laundry room and a basement. We have two full baths and two half baths in the house. When I am at school, I'm in a pretty small two bedroom apartment. The kitchen is barely big enough for two people, let alone all the appliances and cabinets that are in it. We have one small bathroom as well.

My husband and I have a three bedroom home that should have been a two bedroom. The two bedrooms are too small, child size, and the master bedroom barely makes it in that category. We have a living room and a small dining room, an unfinished basement, large clothes closet, small kitchen (you cannot put an island in it let alone a large kitchen table, and no insuite. To think that we raised our two sons there without bumping into each other was a miracle. One bedroom was made into a guest bedroom and we use the other bedroom as the computer room - two computers, and a large coffee table with all the stuff on it, shelves in the closet. We do need a bigger houses, but my husband grew up poor in a shack and an old house that was very small, so he likes it. Me? I grew in a small two storey house, but I wish the house were bigger and we could move to someplace warm. Our winter bills go through the roof. It gets rather cold here.

I live in a small studio apt, but, it is so nice! I love it and I love the building I live in as well. There are a few things I don't like about the apt, but, for the most part I'm very happy here and I thank God everyday that I am living here. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

I live in a two-story house with Boyfriend and my sister. It has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. It's physically spacious but "socially crowded" sometimes for three people. Boyfriend will probably move out soon as he gets the house he put an offer on.

I live in a really big house... I have 4 bedroons, 4 bath, 2 living roons, and, of course, a kitchen. But I live with my family (my dad, momy, and myself). i am thinking about live alone, if I do it I will get a small apartment with only one bedroom, one bath and a small kitchen... With out living room.. Here, where I live (Sao Paulo/Brazil), is so expensive to bay a house.. My house (the big one) I (my dad, of course) spend about R$ 800.000,00!! It is the same of $500.000,00 dollars!

Wow your cousins house is very nice, I bet it was pretty expensive :p Anyway I live in small-large apartment, I'm pretty happy about the size of it and the location
