Front Footage

by | Feb 4, 2026

In real estate, Front Footage refers to the linear measurement of a property along the portion that fronts a street or major roadway. It is typically measured in feet and describes the width of the parcel at the street line.

Front footage is commonly used in land valuation, zoning, and assessments, especially for commercial properties. Properties with greater front footage often have higher value due to increased visibility, access, and development potential.
