About Cliffcrest
Cliffcrest leans owner-occupied, with around 63% of households owning. Median household income, around $92,000, tracks close to the Toronto figure. The neighbourhood skews established and settled, with larger family households on generous lots.
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.
