The average home size in the United States hovers in the mid-2000s. For some home buyers, 2500 square feet can feel like a palace. For others, 2500 square feet is tight quarters.

Instead, we’ll be looking at homes 5, 10, or 20+ times the average home size. Join me as we explore the top 15 biggest houses in San Diego.

Which Neighborhoods Have the Biggest Houses in San Diego
Although unusually large homes can be found throughout the neighborhoods of San Diego, two neighborhoods stand out. Not surprisingly, some of the biggest homes in San Diego also wind up being some of the most expensive houses in San Diego. The two neighborhoods that are the most likely places to find the biggest homes in San Diego County are:
Rancho Santa Fe
Rancho Santa Fe is often ranked among the most prestigious neighborhoods throughout the United States. Here in San Diego, it certainly is on the shortlist of most coveted places to live. Rancho Santa Fe is also one of the few San Diego areas that routinely have very large lots. Most San Diego homes have lots well under an acre. Homes in Rancho Santa Fe commonly have several acres.
Aside from the space to build some of the biggest homes in San Diego, Rancho Santa Fe also has the demographics to support them. It is one of the most affluent communities in the nation.
