The Montreal houses I was raised in maxed out at 4500 sq. ft or so, for four humans, two pups. Both were over 100 years old... and are pretty standard size-wise for their area. I moved to Vancouver at 18 and lived in an under 800 sq. ft. two bedroom with two roommates... I had the smallest of the rooms, which was approximately 70 sq. ft- actually supposed to be a solarium. Underbed storage saved my life. Big adjustment from having my own floor growing up... I have since lived in a range of (modest) apartment sizes in Montreal and Toronto, and am currently sharing a bit over 500 sq. ft. quite comfortably with my boyfriend. I would take 500 sq. ft. over 5000 any day.
