GARAGE SUITES

What are Garage Suites?

Garage suites, also known as secondary suites, are “dwellings located above or attached to the side or rear of a detached garage, when the garage is an accessory to a single detached house”. They usually have features synonymous with a traditional home, including a bathroom, kitchen, and sleeping area. The function of a garage suite can range from a guesthouse to an income-generating dwelling. Whatever your purpose, it is an efficient extension of a pre-existing home.

It is important to note that the City of Edmonton must approve garage suites prior to development unless otherwise advised. Fortunately, Niche Homes works with you to obtain all necessary permits and makes certain that your garage suite is up to code and meets all city bylaws and guidelines.

Garage suites have become increasingly popular in the Edmonton area, and the City has revised their criteria to enable home-owners the opportunity to build a suite on their property. On average garage suites will average out at approx. $150,000, and that price has the potential to increase depending on location, access, finishings and contract scope. urban planning and growth.

Benefits of garage suite development and ownership include:
  • A resource for additional income
  • An affordable retirement alternative and multi-generational living
  • A reasonable getaway from the common place of a traditional home
  • Increased density in a community and growth
  • Affordable housing for many who want to live in a mature neighbourhood
