What is Carpet Area?

Carpet Area in real estate refers to the actual usable floor area within a property where a carpet can be laid. It includes the space inside the internal walls of the apartment or unit but excludes areas like balconies, walls, terraces, and common spaces.

What Carpet Area Includes

  • Bedrooms
  • Living room
  • Kitchen
  • Bathrooms
  • Internal passages within the unit
  • Store rooms (if inside the unit)

What Carpet Area Excludes

  • External and internal wall thickness
  • Balcony and terrace areas
  • Staircases (in some cases)
  • Common areas like lift lobby, corridors, and amenities

Carpet area is the most important metric for understanding how much usable space a property actually offers. It helps buyers make informed decisions and avoid confusion caused by inflated area measurements.
