A ward outside of the "Mormon Curtain" (Utah, Idaho, Arizona, parts of California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington) in the United States would probably have anywhere from 50 to 200 active members. Inside the "Mormon Curtain", wards are usually larger, about 300 -400 people. I was once in a ward that hit over 600 people before it was split into two. Our youth group alone had 150 teenagers!
A branch, on the other hand, a small congregation, can be anywhere from 5 people to nearly 200.

Mutual or Young Men/Young Women is a group for teens.
What is ward houses in Salt Lake City?
A "Ward House" usually referrs to a church or meetinghouse of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church). A Mormon congregation is called a "Ward", and so the building that houses the ward is often called a "Ward House". Church members may also refer to them as "meetinghouses", "churches", and "chapels". Similarily, a "Stake House" or "Stake Center" is a large church or meetinghouse which contains offices for a geographical group of congregations - a stake is similar to a Catholic diocese. Many community gatherings and activities, as well as worship services and religious education classes, are held in ward houses and stake centers. You can see a virtual tour of a typical "Ward House" at the "related link" below.
Can you join a Mormon ward outside your area?
While you may visit services of any ward or branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), members are asked to attend their assigned congregation most of the time. Ward boundaries are drawn geographically, taking into account driving distance to the church as well as the number of practicing members in the congregation. Members of the church will have their membership records held at their home ward, and are expected to have callings in that ward, pay tithing to that ward, and have the Bishop of that ward as their local church authority. Occassionally, you may be able to have your records sent to a different ward. This usually happens in the case of attending a special language ward/branch or a singles ward, but can happen for other reasons as well. Some cases I have seen were a youth attending church with extended family rather than alone in his assigned ward and a troubled divorce in which both husband and wife lived in the same ward boundaries. If you feel you need to be a member of a ward that is not your assigned ward, you will need to discuss that issue with your bishop and see if you can have your records transferred.

Can Mormons attend common church?
I am not sure what you mean by "common church". Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) are expected to attend their local congregation or 'ward', which is assigned geographically to ensure even distribution of members. It is common for Mormons to attend a different ward when traveling or when supporting a friend or family member who might be speaking, performing, or being blessed or ordained in the service.Mormons are welcome to attend other churches and religious services whenever they desire. I have known Mormons who attend other churches regularly in addition to attending their own ward - this is especially the case in families where church membership is mixed. Mormons are also generally open to visiting other churches. As a Mormon I have attended Catholic mass a handful of times, worship services at Anglican, Presbyterian, Baptist, and nondenominational Christian churches, Friday prayers at my local Muslim mosque, and services at Buddhist and Confucian temples.
