Those are what's called shoebox houses. We find a lot of them in Montréal, Québec.

Here are a few more.

But if you were allowed to/worked out a deal to paint those side walls, that could be a really cool looking space.

I'm guessing not especially quiet though.

Depending on its orientation, it’s probably pretty dark inside too.

I remember some of my favourite spaces in the city I lived in where narrow valleys between buildings like this. The trick for light (enough for a great garden) was to hang cheap mirrors on the top part of each side wall.

Reminds me of the Edith Macefield house, in Ballard (Seattle, WA).

.

If you're ever in Ballard, I highly recommend the excellent cocktail bar Hazelwood, which pays tribute to her with a namesake cocktail (the Edith Macefield).

Wonder what the back yard looks like?

I think if the house was first then that’d be sad, yes. But if someone bought the lot and managed to get a house in there legally (or just got away with it) then that’s pretty rad. Like a brilliantly yellow dandelion forcing itself through a crack in an otherwise seamless, lifeless and bland sidewalk.

It’s like a sad Wes Anderson film

I hope it's oriented right, otherwise you're living in eternal shade

I don't know, shelter and a sizable yard aren't so bad. but it could do with some decorating
