One acre is 43,560 sq ft. One half acre is 21,780 sq ft. However, that doesn't help most people much when trying to picture how large a lot is.
Half acre lot is roughly:
217.8 ft deep x 100 ft wide
200 ft deep x 109 ft wide
150 ft deep x 145 ft wide
Since many lots in town are 50 ft wide x 100 ft deep, this would be roughly four lots side by side. Or it could be two lots wide by two lots deep.
A typical 50 x 100 foot lot in town is roughly 1/8 acre in size.
-Let's not forget the acre's traditional measurement of 660 x 66 feet (1/8 mi. by 1/80 mi.). So you could picture that most easily as either 660 by 33 feet or 330 feet by 66 feet.

About an acre and a half big.
One acre is roughly the size of a modern football field. So, half an acre is about half the size or one third of a football field.
A lot is not a standard measurement. It varies from place to place and there are seldom two lots the same size. The lots are typically laid out by the developer of the property and can be any size.
