About Guildwood
Guildwood is a strongly owner-occupied neighbourhood — roughly 78% of households own their home, with a comfortable median household income of $102,000 — above the city median. 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 Guildwood, we bring a builder's eye to what a property can actually become.
