The shared community mailbox is NOT a common feature of most U.S. single-family homes. This couple must live in a planned community from one developer where that choice was made in early stages. Most homes have the mailbox at the front of your property line facing the road for the mailperson to drive up to.

I grew up in a 3 bedroom 2 bath house in NC. The home was in the ballpark of 2,500 sq ft which is considered to be somewhat small in that particular area. We had a detached garage that was a separate building. The garage was almost 2,000 sq ft. We had 1.5 acres which was a pretty typical sized plot and we had our own creek and wild berry orchard.

American here, we sold our home when we retired, it was 3800 Sq ft. Brick home on 1 acre. It was a 3 bedroom 3 1/2 bath with In-law suite, dining room, living (with Fireplace) kitchen & breakfast room combo, Music room and 4 car garage, two tier back veranda. We downsized to a 2100 sq ft Brick home on 15 acres. 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 baths, office, living (fireplace), dining and kitchen combo, laundry, mud room, front & back veranda, screened in porch with fireplace and 2 1/2 car garage. We also have a 1400 sq ft brick guest home on the property with 1 bedroom, 1 bath, living room kitchen dining combo, on the first floor, 1 bedroom 1 bath and sitting room on the second floor, it also has front and side wrap around veranda and deck. We also have a 48 x72 foot build and a detached 4 car garage. We do light farming on the property with has a creek and wooded area. We love our country life. We are very blessed. This is not typical for most, but in our area most homes are brick and range between 2700 and 3900 square feet.

I grew up with a lot of nice fluffy carpets … in my own home as an adult I’ve come to realize all that a carpet can harbor even after using a shampooer (you can buy or rent one) the dust mites, dirt, bacteria etc… and if you have animals, their hair and dandruff and whatever else… so in my home I keep mainly all hard surfaces EVERYWHERE and use rugs such as small step rugs or larger 5x8 in strategic places that are soft but that can be physically picked up at and heavily spray washed at a car wash if need be. The fact that I can’t readily pull up carpet to really clean it well doesn’t set well with me with dogs , kids and whatever else it’s just easier and cleaner to use area rugs on hard surfaces.

my grandfather bought a 'kit house' from Sears in 1944 for $550 and built it himself. it had a kitchen, living room and bedroom. they had an outhouse. My grandmother refused to move into it until my grandfather built a working bathroom INSIDE the house, which he did. they then added another bedroom with their first child and then a master suit when their 4th child (girl, so she could have her own room from her 3 brothers). by the 1970s, my grandfather had build a new larger kitchen/dinning room. a sitting room, a second larger living room. a car port, and the house was 4 bedrooms, 3 baths with a total of 5,400+ sq ft.... and this was all on 10 acres. it built ALL of the house himself throughout those years.

I live in Galveston Texas and I bought my home in 2010 for around $135,000.00 after a Hurricane. It needed some repair, and I spent around $20,000. to get it bac up to where we wanted it. It is roughly 1,400 ft2. 3 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths. The Kitchen/dining and Living area are 1 room. My back yard is roughly 600 ft2 and then I walk out onto the dock. Did I mention that I live on a canal that leads out into Galveston bay? I have an underwater light and I catch Trout, Red Drum , Flounder and other fish at night, and the waste goes into a crab trap where I get Blue Crabs. The shrimp and oyster processors come into port about 15 minutes away, so I get the freshest seafood and I grow veggies and fruit in raised bed gardens pretty much year round. The house faces the canal, so I enter from the back, which faces the street. It is paved so I have 10 parking spaces back there. Right now, my house is supposedly worth $450,000.00

I have never heard of anybody not having a door to their bathroom. I'm not sure how their bathroom setup is, but it's definitely not the norm. If you are living in the States and want carpet, just have carpet installed easy peasy.
You don't have to have hardwood or tile flooring if you don't want to...lol!😊

My house in the US is a 1 story, 3 bedroom detached house 1431 square ft living space with a 2 car garage. It’s considered a starter home size for most folks. When our kids were still at home, we wished for a bigger place. Honestly if we just had a basement now, I’d be thrilled. We have a decent amount of land lined with trees, a mini barn and a fire pit we sit around and entertain.

A little more detail about mail delivery in the US. In "Days of Yore", most mailboxes were either via a slot in the front door or a box attached to the wall next to the front door. The mailman would place the mail for a neighborhood into his mail bag, sling it over his shoulder and walk to each home. This took time - sometimes hours to visit each home in a neighborhood. The next iteration in mail delivery was the mailbox at the end of the driveway facing the street. The mail truck would drive to each mailbox and deliver the mail. The mail truck is one of the few US vehicles that has the driver on the right side - just like UK vehicles. Since the US drives on the right side of the street the mailman can deliver the mail without having to get out of the truck - a much faster delivery method. The next iteration is a community mail box where the mail for an entire neighborhood can be delivered to one location - an even faster delivery method. The placement for the community mail box allowed you to stop to get your mail on your way home from work without having to "go out of your way". All of these delivery methods still exist all over the US.

Some homes have the mailbox right in front of the house on the curb but more modern neighborhoods are opting for the communal mailboxes so usually that's just a bunch of letter boxes and a few package boxes grouped together for x amount of homes usually just down the street like a 2-3 min walk which people usually have dogs so they just stop by during their walk or park there on the way home
And garbage disposals are amazing I love them you just throw food scraps (no fruit peels like orange or lemon/lime obviously no bones or large seeds or egg shells) and it just gets ground up sent down the drain away from home and you never have to throw food in the trash so no bugs or smelly trash I just love it so much
And some apartments like my last one before I bought this house have garages my last apartment had a garage and driveway but most apartments don't necessarily have a designated parking space they just have a bunch of parking spaces and you pick one although more places are opting for designated spaces cause people keep arguing about spaces lol

A community mail room is more for gated communities and complexes like apartments. Streets with homes normally have a mailbox outside. We had letterboxes decades ago, but newer homes are built with mailboxes at the curb because to get all the mail delivered, postman drive and don’t get out of the mail truck.

The house I'm building has it's own movie theater (cinema) with seating for 12 people & a glass popcorn popper, a pub & game room with billiards, etc.. The master suite bedroom has a tiled walk in shower room, an oversized jetted tub, and an attached solarium (glass sun room). The house also has a gest bedroom with it's own full bathroom, there is an office/library, and a room or my collectibles with a place for tabletop gaming with friends. There is a stone fireplace in the great room, and the kitchen has two separate sinks. All the countertops are stained & polished concrete, so the counter is all one piece and flows with the design of the kitchen. The garage has space for 4 cars, and one bay includes a 2-post service lift. There is a 2 bedroom flat on the floor above the garage for guests when they visit.
