Real estate in the US typically uses square feet for floor area and acres for land. International listings use square meters for floor area and hectares for land. When evaluating a property described as "0.5 hectares" you can quickly see that is about 1.24 acres or roughly 53,820 sq ft — the size of a typical suburban block. Agricultural contexts often use acres in the US and hectares internationally for crop yield calculations.
A helpful reference: a standard American football field (including end zones) is about 1.32 acres or 0.53 hectares. A city block in Manhattan is typically around 2 acres. Central Park is 843 acres or about 341 hectares.
