I had 3 roommates in my 4 bedroom house when I was single. When I got married it dropped to 2.
Now we're in a 5 bedroom house with the other being rented out to 4 individuals. Plenty of room to take on a roommate or 2 in the new house and we've considered it. Probably won't work as easily once we have 1 more kid and need to start utilizing the downstairs bedrooms.

Ya. Wife and kids can kind of change how many roommate can be packed into the place.
