About Avondale
Avondale leans owner-occupied, with around 57% of households owning. Median household income, around $84,000, tracks close to the Toronto figure. Households span a range of ages and sizes — the kind of broad, mixed neighbourhood that holds value through cycles.
Rents track close to the GTA average of $1,917, making it a practical part of the city for buyers and tenants alike. For owners here, the opportunity is rarely a teardown — it's heritage-sensitive renovations, additions, and garden suites that add space or rental income without leaving the neighbourhood.
Metrohomes has been designing and building across North York since 1988. Whether you're weighing a renovation, a garden suite, a multiplex, or a custom new build in Avondale, we bring a builder's eye to what a property can actually become.
