The average American home has grown nearly 40 percent since 1974, but square footage is only one measure of how our way of life has changed.SIZE MATTERS >In the past 30 years, the average single-family home grew from 1,695 square feet to 2,349, even as family size dropped from 3.1 people to 2.6.Northeasteners had the smallest homes in 1974, at 1,600 square feet, but now own the largest new homes, at 2543-a whopping 59 percent increase.A quarter of homes built in 1974 had four or more bedrooms; more than a third do today.On the West Coast today, one in three garages can hold at least three cars.In 1974, only half of all new homes had room for two.*
KITCHENS>Despite our homes' jump in square footage, the percentage of floor space the kitchen occupies has remained constant. So while a kitchen of the early 1970's took up about 150 square feet-10 percent of the house-today's kitchen, at 280, is nearly double the size but still only 12 percent of the house.What has changed is the size of the appliances: a 48-inch cooktop is no longer uncommon; a 30-inch one is.
TECHNOLOGY>Forty-three percent of starter homes built this year will contain high-speed wiring that allows homeowners to network their home computers, play moviesin multiple rooms, and have sophisticated phone systems.One result: the demise of the dedicated media room, as high-definition TVs,DVDs,surrond-sound audio, and TiVo become available in five or six rooms-with room darkening window treatments to match.Sixteen percent of starter homes now come with monitored security standard.*
