I found an apartment listed as 75 sq m. What's that in square feet?

75 sq m = 807 sq ft. That's a comfortable 2-bedroom apartment in Europe or a decent 1-bedroom in a US city.

My current US apartment is 1,200 sq ft. How does that compare to European apartments?

1,200 sq ft = 111 sq m. That's spacious for Europe—equivalent to a large 3-bedroom flat or a nice house in the suburbs.

How do I estimate square meters to square feet mentally?

Rough estimate: multiply by 10 (or 11 for precision). Example: 50 sq m × 10 = 500 sq ft (actual: 538 sq ft).

A property in Spain is listed at 120 sq m. I'm used to US homes — is that a decent size?

120 sq m = 1,292 sq ft. That's a solid 3-bedroom house by US standards — not huge, but comfortable. In Spain, 120 sq m is considered a good-sized family apartment or townhouse. You'd pay considerably less per sq ft than an equivalent US home in a comparable city.

Formula

sq ft = sq m × 10.764

One square meter equals 10.764 square feet. When you're scrolling through apartments in Tokyo, Paris, or Sydney and the listing says 65 sq m, you need to convert to understand whether that's a cramped studio or a spacious flat. European and Asian listings show square meters; US listings show square feet — and the numbers look wildly different for the same space.
