halfacre

A halfacre is a unit of area equal to one half of an acre. An acre is a unit of land area that originated in the real world and is now used in the international system of units. It is most commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. One acre is equal to 43,560 square feet, or 4,046.86 square meters. Therefore, a halfacre is equal to 21,780 square feet, or 2,023.43 square meters.

The term halfacre is often used in real estate to describe the size of a property. For example, a house might be advertised as being on a halfacre lot. This would mean that the property is approximately 21,780 square feet in size. The term can also be used more generally to describe a small parcel of land.

While the acre is a standard unit of measurement, the term halfacre is more informal. Its precise meaning can vary depending on the context. However, it generally refers to a piece of land that is roughly half the size of a standard acre. This size is often considered suitable for a single-family home with some yard space.
