Old Aurora lots routinely run 200 ft deep - the longest average rear-yard depth of any town in York Region. That depth is why Aurora is one of the few GTA municipalities where a two-storey garden suite with its own private yard still clears the angular plane without a minor variance. Aurora permits additional dwelling units with the Aurora Village and Northeast Old Aurora heritage districts adding design review in the core.
Large mature lots in Old Aurora with 200 ft depths, and Oak Ridges Moraine constraints on the western edge. North-GTA snowfall of 148 cm and -5.1°C winters give Aurora a May-October working season - foundations for prefab and modular buyers go in before the ground closes, with interior finishing carried through the cold months.
Modular delivery in Aurora is decided by the crane pick, not the drawings: the truck route, the overhead wires on your street and the setup radius determine whether a two-module unit is deliverable at all. We survey the pick before contract - overhead clearance, boom position, road closure requirements with York Region - so the crane day is booked against a route that has already been proven. Where the pick fails, the same design is normally buildable stick-built on the identical 1.2 m foundation, so the feasibility work is never wasted.

Three things, in this order: overhead wires on the street, a side-yard or frontage too narrow for the crane setup radius, and a truck route that cannot legally carry the module. We check all three in Aurora before contract, because a failed pick is the one problem no amount of design revision fixes on delivery day.
