3 of us in around 3000+ sq feet. Plus at least 3 cats and usually at least one visiting family member or friend (we had a LOT of house guests when I was a kid). Before you go thinking we were all fancy ... it was 3BR/1.5BA and just had large rooms. As in, you can fit a king-sized bed in their guest room. Heck, you *might* be able to fit a king-size bed in the room I grew up in. Plus, they get a lot of their sq.ft from a bonus room over the garage, which has no real purpose, but it is GIGANTIC. Probably 600+ sq ft.
4 people in what Zillow says is a little more than 2,000sf. I think that at least includes the basement rec room (not finished most of the time we lived there) and the utility/laundry room. I don't think the 2 car garage included in that number. It was 2 bath, 3 bedrooms upstairs and one more on the main level.
5 people in about 3000 square feet. We had a raised ranch with a finished basement that had a second living room. My parents would hang out upstairs and shoo us downstairs when we were being obnoxious.
