These are rational housing sizes. People talk about older generations buying houses right on the cheap, my parents raised 5 kids in a 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bathroom home that was around 900 square feet. This is a reasonable size for a family. Old guy rant off.
Pretty sure you had more than 900 sq feet unless you ate your meals outside?
I think sqft isn't a great metric for understanding three size or feel of a house, especially for US Americans. I think most houses have rooms that are too big for their uses, especially bedrooms. When I was looking into moving a year ago I found a house with the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms as my current house but 1/3rd smaller in sqft. And I WANTED to move there because the house was cooler and nicer than mine!
