About Birchcliffe-Cliffside

Birchcliffe-Cliffside leans owner-occupied, with around 66% of households owning. Median household income, around $90,000, tracks close to the Toronto figure. This is an older, established part of the city, where homes change hands less often and roots run deep.

Rents sit below the GTA average of $1,917, keeping it accessible relative to much of Toronto. 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 Old Toronto since 1988. Whether you're weighing a renovation, a garden suite, a multiplex, or a custom new build in Birchcliffe-Cliffside, we bring a builder's eye to what a property can actually become.
