Canberra Named World Capital With Largest Average Home Size
Canberra has been named the world capital with the largest average home size at a whopping 256.3 square metres, according to an analysis by UK firm Buildworld. That’s 560 per cent more floor space than the bottom-ranked Moscow, where the average was just 45.5 square metres, and 36 per cent bigger than Cairo in second place at 188 square metres, the report found. The 313 square metre Chapman home, set on a 975 square metre block in a blue-chip cul-de-sac, includes a downstairs studio apartment with private access and three oversized living areas. Research from CommSec came to a similar finding that Australian and American homes are now the biggest on earth — with the average floor space for a new freestanding single family home in both countries at 229 square metres. CommSec found newly built houses in the ACT averaged 259 square metres. Canberra’s homes are larger than those in any other capital, or any other city in Australia, Buildworld’s report. https://www.buildworld.co.uk/blog/archives/average-home-size-in-capital-cities
