Vancouver opens door to laneway housing

Laneway houses, basement apartments, and secondary suites are excellent sources of affordable rental homes for City residents.

But these types of rentals provide additional benefits beyond affordable rents, including:

An additional source of income for homeowners

Housing for a variety of users, such as aging family members, caregivers, and homeowners who want to downsize

More choice of housing types in single-family residential neighbourhoods

More opportunities for people to live in the city, close to their jobs, services, and frequent transit

Because of the many benefits of laneway housing and basement and secondary suites, Council works to ensure that they are as easy and affordable as possible for homeowners to create.
