About the square meter and the square foot

The square meter

The square meter is the SI unit of area — the area of a square one meter on each side. It's the standard for apartment and house listings in nearly every metric country, for material quantities (flooring, paint coverage), and for all scientific work. A typical parking space is about 12 m²; a singles tennis court is about 195 m².

The square foot

The square foot is the standard area unit for US and Canadian real estate, and remains common in UK property listings alongside square meters. One square foot is exactly 0.09290304 m² (derived from 1 ft = 0.3048 m squared). A typical US single-family home is 1,500–2,500 sq ft; a two-car garage is about 400–600 sq ft.
