Another thing to consider from the perspective of the builder is whether the home owner can even build a laneway house based on the terrain of their neighbourhood.


Some parts of East Van like the Hastings Sunrise area (between Nanaimo street and Boundary road) are full of hills.

One of my uncles living in the Hastings and Sunrise area near Rupert Street wanted to build a laneway house on his property. Unfortunately, a builder explained to him that because his house is on the bottom of a steep hill, a laneway house would run a high risk of being flooded during heavy rain.

Raincouver with our rainy seasons means that home owners that have houses on the bottom of the steep hills in East Van might need to think twice about building a laneway house.

Laneway houses are not every home owner depending on the terrain of their neighbourhood.
