Essentially, a Laneway house (sometimes called an infill house) is a small home at the rear of a close to a lane with a dwelling unit that varies in size from 550sq ft to 940 sq ft. The benefits of laneways are endless but for starters, they increase the diversity of rentals units in low-density homes. Visit the How to guide by the City of Vancouver.
