Renovation rules
These lots are zoned under the RS Small Scale Residential Zone of Zoning Bylaw 20001, which is why some 1.5 storeys nearby have been replaced with new infill. On Oct 8, 2026 the province ordered Edmonton to revert parts of its infill rules, so what a neighbour can build next door may change.
Inspection points
- Measure headroom in the upper bedrooms.
- Ask about insulation in the sloped ceilings.
- Check the basement for moisture and the foundation for cracks.
- Ask what has been built on the street recently.
Knee walls and dormers
The upper floor sits under the roof, so walls slope and storage hides behind knee walls. Adding a dormer can create headroom, but it needs permits and careful roof work. Check the attic insulation and how warm the upper rooms stay in winter.
Selling a 1.5-storey
The team prices a southwest 1.5 storey against both renovated homes and lot value, since some buyers want it as a home and some as a building lot.
