However, I just wish it had more storage space. I don't think the house was built very effectively. I'd love to move to a bigger home though! Something between 2,600-3,400 sq ft would be awesome when we have 2 LO's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-square-feet-is-your-home/page/2#post-548065 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 08:09:07 +0000 blackbird 548065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 2000, not including a finished basement.

We're house hunting at 2000+ sqft homes, but don't want something TOO big! :) Just something we can grow into and not feel crammed once we have a 2nd baby. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-square-feet-is-your-home/page/2#post-547464 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 18:14:11 +0000 avivoca 547464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1100, but it feels a lot bigger. This is the biggest place either of us has lived in, but I imagine that it will feel cramped when we bring LO home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-square-feet-is-your-home/page/2#post-547445 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 17:33:42 +0000 HLK208 547445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1550, it's cheap to heat but we really need at least 2000 sqft. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-square-feet-is-your-home/page/2#post-547444 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 17:33:03 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 547444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in 1900 sf right now, and it feels small. The house we are building will be a bit under 2500. I would have liked a bit more, but it's what we could afford in the neighborhood we wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-square-feet-is-your-home/page/2#post-547382 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:34:49 +0000 jetsettermomma 547382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in Hawaii and our house is only 900sf but it has an "efficient" layout, no space is wasted and it doesn't feel too tight. We have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, just the 2 of us with our 4 month old and our beagle. It's the perfect size, I think. Not much to clean! However, we have definitely had to get creative in order to maximize storage space! 2600sf sounds lovely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-square-feet-is-your-home/page/2#post-547381 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:34:07 +0000 Pepper 547381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3,500 including the basement (although we haven't finished it yet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-square-feet-is-your-home/page/2#post-547360 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:18:24 +0000 shoemama 547360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2516 and since baby #2 I feel like it got a lot smaller!

We are in an area where buying an appropriately sized house for 2 people and they moving again in 3 years doesn't make sense so we went straight to a forever home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-square-feet-is-your-home/page/2#post-547142 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:13:20 +0000 PurplePumps 547142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have about 3200 including the finished basement. 2600 on the main floors. Its a lot right now for just the two of us, but I hope it will feel right once we have kids. Even then I think I would have liked a bit smaller. Heating is too expensive.<br /> 2 spare rooms are still completely empty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-square-feet-is-your-home/page/2#post-547129 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:03:37 +0000 boiledpnut 547129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our house is 3150sqft not counting the basement. It's our forever home, so it's perfect for us. </p>
