Some of these houses are not what I would call "pocket sized". They might be "pocket sized" by the McMansion standard but the house I grew up in was 1700 sq ft (one addition, the original was 1300 sq ft) four bedrooms 2 1/2 baths and housed 2 adults and 8 children. A 1500 sq ft house (Small & Spacious) for one is very generous indeed.
