Backyard housing (formerly known as a garden suite) is more than just an additional structure on your property—it’s a versatile living space that enhances your lifestyle, adds value to your home, and maximizes your property’s potential.
At Anthony Developments, we specialize in designing and building backyard housing in Edmonton that combines functionality, style, and craftsmanship to meet your unique needs.
What is Backyard Housing?
Backyard housing is a self-contained home built in the rear yard of a residential property. It includes its own kitchen, bathroom, sleeping, and living areas, offering complete independence. They are ideal for:
-
Housing extended family members
-
Creating rental income opportunities
-
Establishing a private workspace or studio
-
Providing a guest house for visitors
What are the options?
Backyard Housing options have expanded to include single-detached, semi-detached, and multi-unit designs. Formerly known as garden or garage suites, backyard housing maximizes property potential and adds modern, functional living spaces.
Anthony Developments can help you design and build the perfect backyard home to suit your needs!
