A laneway house is a form of detached secondary suites in Canada built into pre-existing lots, usually in the backyard and opening onto the back lane. Most laneway houses are small. However, public concern has been raised in some communities about the impact that larger forms of this type of housing may have on privacy.[1] Laneway houses are found in densely populated areas in Canadian cities, including Edmonton, Toronto, and Vancouver.
