Front narrow, back wide
A pie lot usually means a smaller front yard and driveway, with the extra width at the back for a garden, play area or garage. Check the survey to see the actual lot shape; some irregular lots are wide at the street and narrow at the back, which is the reverse.
Communities with curves and cul-de-sacs
Pie lots sit at the curve of a cul-de-sac, narrow at the street and wide at the back. Southwest suburbs from the 1980s to the 2000s used a lot of crescents and cul-de-sacs, so the communities below are where pie lots turn up most.

Rules on a wide back yard
- Look at the real property report for the true lot shape and size.
- Check grading and where water runs after rain.
- Ask about the neighbours' sight lines into the yard.
- Note the narrow frontage for street parking.
At the showing
A wide back yard makes room for a deck, garden or shed, but a shed or garage over 10 square metres needs a City permit, and decks may need one too. Ask about drainage: a pie lot often collects water from neighbouring yards.
Selling a pie lot
The team uses an aerial view or survey sketch in the listing, because a pie lot's value is in the back yard buyers cannot see from the street.
