Toronto Laneway Home Tour | The Annex
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Laneway homes in Toronto are still not a common site, and most people have never stepped foot in one. I’m a full time real estate agent who sees hundreds of homes a year, and I have never even been in one…until now! Throw out any misconceptions you have about laneway homes being dark, and small. With great design, you could have a home that overcomes these issues.
Watch to the very end as we speak with Aviv, from Milman Design Build about how much it would cost to build something similar, and just how to get started.

I love this home ! Very beautiful. While laneway homes are a good idea to get additional housing in the city,I can't help but think that finding parking in these neighborhoods will eventually be a nightmare. More laneway homes may mean no garages, more people and no places to park.
Some laneway homes maintain a parking spot still but in general, I agree with you. I feel like the city is moving towards less car ownership.
All my tenants use bicycle or TTC.
Great video!! So excited that Laneway homes are permitted in Toronto to help alleviate housing demands in the city!!
Agreed. It will go a long way in providing housing options.
Can you two muppets explain how this is great for the city and renters. This is great my in-laws who live in bloor west village who bought their home for $177,000 in 1995. They are permitted to build a 1500 sq ft lame way home. They know a lot of people in the trades, so all cash no taxes. They were quoted for $300,000 to build it will be able to get $3,000 a month rent. Amazing return on investment.
Every time I see a new video posted by you, a huge amount of dopamine is released from my brain
5:08 So that ~1100 sqft home cost roughly $385K to $440K?
It really depends on the custom home you want to build. Quality of the finishings, complexity of the build, type of mechanical system, etc. But you can ballpark $350-400 PSF as Aviv mentioned. They are the best people to ask as they build all the time.
Oh man this is the best. Beautifully presented and gets me excited for what options we have!!
I heard of some ppl creating a man cave in the laneway
love your content! thanks for sharing. Is there a separate entrance for the second floor? It looks like this could be 2 units
Thanks! There is an entrance from the laneway side and another entrance leading to the shared backyard. This seems fairly common with the laneway homes I have seen.
Great video Ray! Very informative! Keep them coming!
Thanks for watching!

That’s a very comfortable size laneway home!
Could you please share the builder information? Thanks
never knew these existed! very informative and well made
We will see more of these in the coming years as real estate becomes more expensive.
Excellent video Raymond
Thanks for watching. Working on another laneway video so stay tuned!
Looks like our house purchase was 1 year too early to take advantage! These lane way houses looking sweetttttt
It’s nicer than my own house 😭
Please keep up the great content.
Quick question is this one single-family unit or a duplex? I see another kitchen upstairs with 2 bed. Also, any requirement for parking or is this not required since you are in a densely populated area and assuming transit is close by?
This is a single family unit. Originally designed for the owner and her adult kids.
To create privacy and everyone happy 😉☺️
Great job on this design and build!
Great working with you on this Ray! Keep up the great content!
You guys were awesome, as usual!
I'm from Vancouver and these laneway homes are extremely popular here, but by no means are they affordable homes. They're just perks or add-ons for homeowners who will charge a premium for rent after it's built. Basically, it's like renting expensive condos without living in highrises, but in the neighbourhood. You can't rent one for yourself unless you do really well for yourself, or it's owned by a family member and you can take advantage of that. You'll pretty much need a roommate or partner who's as well off as you to afford living in these desired homes. And you wonder why it's so expensive to live in Toronto or Vancouver with these so called housing 'options'.
The few that I have seen here in Toronto are beautifully designed and constructed homes. I can see why they rent at a premium. I agree, these are not what I would describe as affordable housing. It does help increase housing supply where there otherwise wouldn’t be a home, so I’m supportive of more laneway homes.
Great video Ray! Love the comment you made about being able to tan.... Gave me a chuckle.
I think I made that comment cause I’m
In desperate need of a vacation.
Great content and beautiful home!
Thank you so much!
Wow, love this house!
Me too!
Awesome stuff man, if you ever come to Edmonton we have a bunch of these laneway homes!
Would love to film some of those!
Good point Steven. Vancouver does as well. Mine was hell to get built but they're awesome! I'm surprised there's not more in Edmonton though there's quite a few. . Can't believe Toronto hasn't allowed more what with the housing issues?
@@Raymond.W Mine is concrete Lower level with shipping containers above. It's listed on Airbnb under Covid safe private guest suite in Old strathcona. The lower level is under Covid safe private guesthouse studio gym in old Strathcona. It's pretty cool and is a bit like the one featured in this video in Toronto
A UA-cam shipping container site also did a feature on it.
I love the creativity in these laneway homes.
What is the difference among 1.Laneway Suite 2.Garden Suite 3. Tiny home??
Laneway suite vs garden suite, the difference is how the suite can be accessed (via laneway or not). Garden suites are for properties that do not front onto a laneway, it’s just a structure built in a backyard. Tiny homes are just that, tiny homes.
@@Raymond.W Thank you.
Beautiful home, my only regret for it is the gorgeous bedroom windows overlooking the neighbours so close by and you go out into the backyard and are right next to the neighbours front door and window, it would be a shame to have to cover those bedroom windows permanently with blinds or curtains but I expect you would have to for privacy!
Great information. We have a huge lot in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Can you provide a name of a company that can help build a garden suite for us?
I'm not sure if garden suites are permitted in York region, would love to find out though. Email me, info@soldbyraymond.ca
Great Video!
Thanks for watching!
they left the drill on the roof hell nah
Gorgeous 😍
Agreed!
Parking is going to be a HUGE issue if not has already been!
Some recent laneway homes I saw have space in the front for a car to parallel park. Pretty smart idea
For that amount they can get the permit. Thank you
Too expensive.
sucks , this doesn't increase supply of homes for first time home buyers
It doesn’t directly increase the supply of homes for sale, but it still helps add to the housing stock in the city. A renter out there will be happy I’m sure.
My community got approval for laneway homes. I want to build a two storey but can only afford 40k to 50K. Just a narrow rectangular box and no rooms except for the washrooms and central heating/washer/dryer etc I am going for the mountain views. Don't really care about the details of the interior. I like simple and industrial look.
What city will this be in?
@@Raymond.W Calgary. Older communities with alleys have been approved.
okay but how do i rent! one!
I would definitely live here too!
Do you really want that much of windows if all your seeing are houses? That's an ugly view.
What’s the big deal with all those magnificent windows when the house is situated in a dumpy environment? WHO cares?
