What is a Laneway house?
A Laneway house, also known as an infill house, is a small home at the rear of a lane. The dwelling unit varies in size from 550 sq ft to 940 sq ft.
Laneway Homes was introduced to Burnaby in the fall of 2023 as part of an initiative to expand housing options following years of proposal development and citizen input.
Laneway homes, also known as secondary residences, are smaller, ground-oriented homes built in the backyard of a main house along the lane. These private homes offer an excellent housing option for multigenerational living or generating passive income as a rental unit.

Laneway homes are a modern solution to make the most of space, reduce urban sprawl, and save green areas. They are smaller, use less energy, and fit in well with existing neighbourhoods, keeping the area's special character. Laneway homes change unused spaces into useful living areas, encourage different generations to live together, and shorten commuting distances for residents. They also help homeowners make money by renting out the extra space. Come with us as we work towards greener, more sustainable living with laneway homes.
