Residential infill is the development of new housing in established or mature neighbourhoods. This new housing may include secondary suites, garden suites, duplexes, semi-detached and detached houses, row houses, apartments, and other residential and mixed-use buildings. In Edmonton, this largely presents as the splitting of lots into two or more pockets of land for development.
Many older neighbourhoods are coveted by home buyers for their locations, parks, schools, shopping, and architecture. Infilling allows for new home buyers to purchase in these desired areas while still living in the luxury of a newly built, beautifully designed, and eco-friendly home.
