but ideally you want a high enough ceiling to do stuff overhead and to be on a concrete slab if you want to move some heavy weight.

My workout space is maybe 200 sq ft and fits in a corner of my basement. That fits a rack + a couple accessories, bar, 400 lbs of weight, some plastic mats and a rower.

I'm pretty consistent about working out whether at the gym or at home but I've found that I'm more inconsistent with my intensity when I'm at home.

Getting up and out of the house takes more effort than just going downstairs but it also means I"m more invested in making a good use of my time. Unfortunately, I just can't get to the gym like I used to so investing in more equipment at home made sense.
