LOVE FOR THE LANED HOMES by PEPPER RODRIGUEZ Laned homes have often been referred to as the Goldilocks of homes. They’re not too small, they’re not too big – they are just right.

Excel Homes’ Marketing Manager, Kristina Plank, says the laned home has been a perennial best-seller for them. “They offer a lot of great living space, have huge curb appeal with no shared wall, are more affordable than a front-drive home, and typically similar in size. You get it all,” she says. Sam Hudson, Director of Marketing at Morrison Homes, says the adaptability of laned homes has made them a big favourite for single-family
homebuyers at Morrison Homes. “Homebuyers may have different reasons to consider purchasing a laned home, including factors like affordability or downsizing. Compared to duplex or townhomes, laned homes also tend to have more variety in terms of the range of square footage and floor plan options. So this housing type offers more adaptability and opportunity for personalization.
