I am bounded by 7 houses. The lot is not a rectangle, but hard to discern at a glance.The lot is probably the bit that was left over from the surveying and not big enough for another house, much to my advantage. It is about 0.4 of an acre. But there are several very large lots in this subdivision and all that is grown is grass. Gardening is almost a lost art in Canada, amongst the general population.
