What is Laneway Housing?

Laneway housing, also known as coach houses or lane houses, is a form of housing that has gained popularity in Coquitlam, especially in neighborhoods like Port Moody. 

These small, self-contained homes are built on the same single-family lot as the main house, typically at the rear of the property. 

Laneway houses provide additional living space and can be used as rental units or as secondary suites to accommodate extended family members. 

They offer a convenient and energy-efficient form of housing that not only increases the rental options in the city but also enhances property values. 

With a focus on minimal and modern design, laneway houses are constructed with efficient space planning, ensuring that plenty of living space is available despite their small footprint. 

Building permits for these homes can be obtained through the city council’s laneway housing program, and construction costs vary depending on the design and specific project requirements. 

With their flexibility and potential as a mortgage helper, laneway houses have become a popular and viable option for property owners in Port Moody.
