Five years ago, the average single-family home typically would be 2,000 square feet on a quarter-acre, according to Robinson. Today, it is probably 3,000 square feet, Robinson said. Ryland already has taken into account consumers' preference for a big-box design. The area's No. 2 builder is introducing a line of homes in Bel Air in Harford County that go up to 3,800 square feet, sell in the $260,000 range -- modest for its size -- and are situated on a quarter-acre. What they really are is just great big boxes ... just great big houses, Robinson said.
There are 43,560 square feet in one acre.   An acre is a unit of area. 640 acres equal a square mile. Hence, it is 1/640 of a square mile. Since a square mile contains 2 â¦ 7,878,400 square feet, an acre is 27,878,400 divided by 640, which is 43,560 square feet. Remember: an acre can be converted to SQUARE feet, not plain (linear) feet. Square feet and feet are not the same units.
