Real estate has an intricate connection with alleys. They are passageways and narrow lanes between buildings, often providing access to houses or the rear of houses. Alley houses are homes built within alleys which become the back-portions of other houses. Alleys are passageways running behind homes or structures as well. Alleys also indicate public passageways other than bigger streets or roads.
