I agree. I am not sure the lots are smaller in the south. I know the house I own in the LSL area has a 0.15 acre lot, whereas the one I own near Eastport has a 0.27 acre lot. But the models are completely different so that doesn't mean anything.

I do like having a relatively big backyard. Room for a pool and a big bird cage and still a good amount of grass behind. The driveway is really short, but its wide. Can easily fit two cars and a golf cart across, so nothing needs to be shuffled.
