What is it?

Self-contained residential units located on the same lot as a detached house, semi-detached house, townhouse, or other low-rise house, typically in the back yard next to a public laneway and completely detached from the main house on the lot

Housing Options

Laneway houses provide new rental housing opportunities within established neighborhoods, contributing to a wider range of housing options

Secondary Dwellings

Laneway homes are secondary dwellings constructed behind traditional street-facing homes on lots abutting a public laneway, increasing housing flexibility and providing housing options close to community amenities

The excitement around the laneway home trend is due to factors such as affordability and profitability. Also consider Garden Suite with similar benefits.
