About Forest Hill North

Forest Hill North is a renter-majority neighbourhood, where about 65% of households rent. Median household income, around $90,000, 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 investors and owners eyeing a high-demand, transit-rich pocket, the relevant questions are about multiplex potential and purpose-built rental — the build-and-hold strategies we evaluate with construction-informed due diligence.

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 Forest Hill North, we bring a builder's eye to what a property can actually become.
