- 1臨街面、面寬（台灣看房常說面寬）
Frontage is the part of a building or a piece of land that runs along a road, a river, or the sea — the edge that faces the world. People who buy and sell land care about it because a shop with a wide frontage can put a big window on the street, and a house with river frontage sits on the water. It is not simply the pretty face of a building; it is that strip of contact with the road or water, often talked about as a length. You mainly meet it in property, planning, and law, not in casual chat.
