About Centennial Scarborough
Centennial Scarborough is a strongly owner-occupied neighbourhood — roughly 92% of households own their home, and at a median household income of $134,000 it ranks among Toronto's higher-income areas. This is an older, established part of the city, where homes change hands less often and roots run deep.
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 Scarborough since 1988. Whether you're weighing a renovation, a garden suite, a multiplex, or a custom new build in Centennial Scarborough, we bring a builder's eye to what a property can actually become.
