Keep in mind that no everyone wants a large yard.  Most of friends
DREAD the idea of having to mow .5 acres of grass every week.  A good
portion of people (from my experience), actually look for small lots
as they don't have/want to spend the time on upkeep but yet don't want
to live in a townhome or apartment.

personally, I have just under an acre and luscious green grass and a
modest garden.  I mow twice a week and look forward to the next
mowing.
