If you had followed your siblings footsteps house wise , what sort of home would you have?

800 SF bungalow with two beds in one bath and no garage.

No, thank you! They love it but they have two small kids. There's no way I want anything that small and I don't have kids 🙂
 
Ha. Out of 4 older sisters only one owns a home in retirement. A modest townhouse.
 

My brother bought a 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1015 square foot house with a 2 car garage built in 1961. He bought it in 1967. He has since converted half the garage into a Family Room.....LOL, like about 50 years ago. So it is about 1215 square feet now.

I bought a 3 bedroom 2 bath 1756 square foot house with a 2 car garage built in 1979. I bought it in 1983. We since have added a bedroom, 1/2 bath on, 30 years ago. Now it is a 2010 square foot, 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house.

We live 6 miles from each other.
 
I'd be living with my parents. 🫠
I have three younger siblings that are all currently in college and chose to stay home to save money.
 
My brother and his wife live in a dump where his own son and daughter-in-law won’t even bring their children to visit.
My sister and her husband live in the house where we grew up. Nothing wrong with it but I much prefer where we live even though it is smaller. They live in town where your next door neighbor is just a stones throw away and we live rural with lots of woods and privacy.
