narrow lot
Thin building site
A narrow lot is a parcel of land that is unusually slim relative to its depth, typically in urban or suburban residential settings.
Building codes often define specific width thresholds—commonly under 40 or 50 feet.
Narrow lots present design challenges but allow higher-density housing: The architect specializes in narrow lot homes that maximize limited frontage.
