Where is your kitchen?

You walk in my front door to the entrance, then through to the lounge room, then the kitchen, then the family room. So pretty much smack bang in the middle of the house (the bedrooms and bathrooms are off to the left).

ETA: I would not want my kitchen to be at the front of the house. 

Our kitchen is on the side of the house, in the middle, and overlooks the driveway. Lined up from front of house to back is dining room, kitchen, laundry room, office. It's a pretty standard setup on houses around here.

I have had a kitchen at the front in a townhouse before, and my MIL had her kitchen at the front of the house. She loved it, I am indifferent. The main requirement for me is to have a window over the sink and a view that is nice.

My kitchen is in the front of the house. I love it because I can see people coming and going and I can see the kids playing outside. I also have a beautiful kitchen. Doesn't everyone always end up in the kitchen anyways?

My front door leads to a foyer and then the living room. To the left of the living room is the kitchen. I would not want the kitchen to be the first room I enter.

Ours is in the back of the house, in between the dining room on one side and the family room on the other. There is a wall and door on the dining room side. The other side has a counter that opens into the family room.

My kitchen is in the middle, I guess. My office/laundry room and his office are on the front, then the kitchen/breakfast room, and behind that the family room - on one wing of the house. The center of the house is foyer at the front , then dining room and formal living room. The other wing is bedrooms and bathrooms.

The kitchen is a pass through design with a large island at its center. Opens at one end to a main hallway and at the other (breakfast room end) to a screened porch.

Mine is at the back, in the middle of the house between the dining area on one side with a patio door out to the deck/back yard and a hallway on the other that leads to a door to the garage on one end, a mudroom closet, 3/4 bath and the first floor laundry on the other end. The laundry room also has a door out to the deck/back yard. If I’m standing at my kitchen sink, I can look out the window to see the back yard, swings, etc.

I wouldn’t want the kitchen in the front of the house with young kids because I wouldn’t want them playing in the front yard even if it was fenced. Security cameras with motion detectors make it so I can see if someone is coming up to my house no matter where I am in the house or anywhere else for that matter. I get an alert on my phone in real time and I can look to see what’s going on.

When we were gutting and remodeling our house 2 big things I wanted regarding floor plan was a dedicated entry space (before you just walked into a large double room) and that the main room that could be seen from the entry would be easy to keep presentable.

Now we have a small foyer and to the right is the wall to the garage and the left is a large archway to the dining room that we don't eat in, although since the pandemic I do have a small desk in there. It stays pretty clean and picked up most of the time.
If you keep walking straight in from the front door you go through a smaller arch way in to our great room. Our kitchen backs to the dining room (there's another walk way on the exterior wall between the two) and then the family room space is at the back of the great room. We also have a small breakfast nook that is a small pushed out area sort of between the kitchen and family room areas. But all 3 are really one big room.

From the window over my sink I can see cars drive down our street which is really nice to keep an eye on things.

We live in a dense So Cal suburb so our lots are small. I would not want a main living space or kitchen in the front of the house where we would have to keep the windows covered for privacy since the street and sidewalks are not that far from the house.

Our neighborhood was built in the mid-late 70s and all the kitchens are in the middle or back of the house.

My kitchen is smack in the middle of our house. I don’t have an open floor plan (house was built in the early 50’s), but I have a window (no glass) where I can see into the front room and through the large windows at the front of the house. I loved having that window when kids were playing outside.

Our kitchen is in the back of the house... we have a split bedroom... front door opens to living room... small wall and counter then kitchen... 1 side is master off living room and pantry then laundry room off kitchen... other side of living room is small hallway with guest bath.. 2 bedrooms and hall closet.. we have no attached garage

I live in a townhouse with 3 floors. My kitchen is on the first floor (second floor to the US peas), at the front of the house. My living room is at the back of the house with a balcony overlooking the garden and a river.

I have an open floor plan so you see the kitchen from the front, back, etc. I can see the lake from the kitchen too. Love it.

Kitchen is the front of house. I like to watch the world go by and see all the comings and goings. This means our sitting room is at the back of the house and overlooks the garden which I prefer.

Our cottage here is pretty small, but it was gutted and renovated a few years ago. Our main level is one long room that is about 20 feet across. The kitchen is at one end and the entry is in a small vestibule at the other end. This is our 16th house since we’ve been married. One apartment and two houses had the kitchen in the front. The only one that I didn’t care for was when you basically walked right into the kitchen. We didn’t have a dishwasher and there were always dirty dishes in the sink. Otherwise, there was a separation to the front door and it worked with the layout of the house. Those both were small houses with the main living area overlooking a nice backyard, so it worked for the configuration.
