About Marlas
A marla is a traditional unit of land area used in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, equal to 30.25 square yards (approximately 25.29 m²) - effectively the same as one square rod. In Pakistan's land registry system, 20 marlas equal one kanal and 8 kanals equal one acre. Despite metrification, marla remains the dominant unit for measuring residential plots and urban land in Pakistan. Property listings in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad routinely quote plot sizes in marlas, making it essential knowledge for anyone dealing with South Asian real estate.
About Square Feet
A square foot (ft²) is an imperial unit of area equal to a square with sides of one foot (12 in × 12 in or 144 in²). It is the standard for measuring floor space in the United States and some other countries. A typical bedroom is 100-150 ft², and the average American house is roughly 2,000-2,500 ft². This unit dominates real estate listings, flooring sales, and construction in countries using imperial measurements.
