Cohousing-L Mailing List: Ratio of Common House size to Unit Size

Hi everyone,

I'm doing some research to figure out if communities with smaller units
have larger common houses.

Our average unit size is 825 square feet
Our common house is programmed to be 4800 square feet

So our units average about 17% the size of our common house.
Does this common house size seem about right? Too large? Too small?
I am not looking to find out if it seats the correct number of people.
I am simply trying to figure out where it is on the scale of
common house sizes overall in relation to all the other cohousing
communities out there.

Thanks!
