I have a 11,000 sq ft lot, with about 20 to 30 ft between houses (all 1 story homes 3000 to 4000 sq ft wt a few 2200 sq ft home on the smaller lots). I would say in my price range 1/2 acre lots are pretty desirable. You can build almost anykind of pool and or Casita/extra garage on a larger lot.

It takes more money to landscape and more maintence for the bigger lots, and in the summer time who is going to be out there to use it in the heat?

My last home had a 1/2 acre lot and I got tired of all the maintence, as a single person all I need is what I have now...it would be nice if I had a view of something when I looked out the back to give the illusion of a bigger yard.

I planted 2 fruit trees in the back which are not pictured....Lemon and Peach..
