Why More Homeowners Are Building ADUs in 2025—and Why You Should Too

As housing affordability tightens and families look for smarter ways to use their property, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have become a top choice for Ontario homeowners. Whether it’s to generate rental income, house extended family, or add long-term value to your property, building an ADU is one of the smartest investments you can make in 2025. 

At MINI DANT Homes, a division of DANT Homes Inc., we specialize in designing and building high-quality, custom ADUs that are tailored to your lot, your budget, and your goals.

What Is an ADU? 

An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a self-contained residential unit located on the same lot as a main house. It can be: 

• A detached suite in your backyard 
• A garage conversion 
• A basement apartment with a separate entrance 

Every ADU includes essential living components—kitchen, bathroom, bedroom—and is built to Ontario Building Code standards. 

Why Homeowners Are Choosing ADUs 

✅ Earn Monthly Rental Income 

ADUs can generate $1,800–$2,500/month or more in rental income, helping homeowners pay down mortgages or boost retirement funds. 

🏡 Support Multi-Generational Living
An ADU is ideal for aging parents, adult children, or extended family—providing privacy while staying close. 

💰 Increase Property Value
A well-designed ADU can increase the resale value of your property by up to 20–30%. 

🛠️ Use It How You Want
ADUs are incredibly flexible: home offices, short-term rentals, guest houses, or future downsizing options—all on your existing land.
