Housing and equipment in Marina Drive
Compact lakeside lots produce compact houses.
- Some have limited or no full basement, putting equipment in a crawl space, a utility closet, or a corner shared with laundry and storage.
- Newer infill rebuilds on the same street have purpose-built mechanical rooms and sealed high-efficiency equipment.
- The removal path — a narrow stair, a tight landing, or a hatch into a crawl space — often decides how a replacement is sequenced.
