Garden suites are independent additional homes situated in a main house’s backyard. They are meant to be a small-scale, independent housing unit that delicately blends into existing residential neighborhoods. The current licenses for detached secondary suites are expanded to all properties in the city by the garden suites by-law. In addition to enhancing housing flexibility and property value, garden suites offer to be the ideal alternative for sheltering cherished ones, earning rental money, or gaining additional live-work space.
