Where can you find a really big home in Central Florida?

According to a recent study conducted by the University of Florida, people are sharing living arrangements. In order to share living arrangements you would need to have a very large home in order to accommodate everyone who is living in the home.

Perhaps owning a big home has nothing to do with the number of people living in the home. It may just be your personal choice to own a home that provides you with the space you feel you need in order to feel comfortable.

Here is a list of the top 10 counties in Central Florida that are listed in the Mid Florida MLS as homes for sale that are 5,000 square feet or larger in size.
