espacio útil de pantalla
Explanation:
Hay varias expresiones parecidas; otra es "zona útil de la pantalla", pero "espacio útil de pantalla" es la que yo he oído. "Real estate" es una metáfora, claro.

"screen real estate
the amount of space available on a display for an application to provide output. Typically, the effective use of screen real estate is one of the most difficult design challenges because of the desire to have as much data and as many controls as possible visible on the screen to minimize the need for hidden commands and scrolling. At the same time, excessive information may be poorly organized or confusing, so effective screen layouts must be used with appropriate use of white space."
