Houses For Sale in Oshawa with Basement Apartments
Homes in Oshawa with basement apartments are more common than you might think and feel like they’re becoming more and more usual as homeowners retrofit and renovate the basements of their properties to suit a variety of needs. With an aging population, seniors having lived independently for most of their adult lives are moving in with their adult children. As seniors age, they still desire their independence by having their own separate living space while still being in close proximity to their children and grandchildren.
First time buyers and downsizers looking for some mortgage relief or additional income tend to take on a basement tenant to help with their monthly housing expenses. And pure property investors, very much like the first time buyer or downsizer want to maximize their earning and profit potential by renting out the main floor of a house separately from renting out the basement.
Some of the most important characteristics of houses with basement apartments include:
- A separate entrance directly to the basement.
- One, two and sometimes more bedrooms.
- A living room.
- A full sized kitchen.
- A full sized bathroom.
- Sometimes access to the backyard.
- Separate hydro meters.
- Separate laundry facilities.

Types of homes with basement apartments
Over the years, the most popular type of home with a basement apartment is the bungalow, raised bungalow, and bungaloft. Many of these types of homes were built in the middle of the 20th century and became popular for basement apartments because this style of home was already built with a separate side entrance. For example, the owners can live on the main floor of the bungalow while renting the basement apartment to a tenant.
Two-storey detached and semi-detached homes sometimes come or are renovated with their own separate entrances as well and are called in-law suites. They have many of the same characteristics as their bungalow counterparts with a focus of having family members living in a basement apartment rather than a tenant.
How to make a basement legal
You may have heard the term “legal basement apartment”. This refers to a basement retrofit and renovation requirement following strict Ontario government rules and guidelines regarding such things as fireproof doors, large basement windows for easier escape during an emergency, as well as many other specifications. Some homeowners invest their time and money into creating a legal basement suite as well because they know they can be rented to a tenant at a premium price.
