About Islington
Islington leans owner-occupied, with around 68% of households owning, with a comfortable median household income of $102,000 — above the city median. The neighbourhood skews established and settled, with long-tenured residents.
Renting here commands a premium over the GTA average of $1,917 — a sign of sustained demand. 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.
We've been building in Etobicoke since 1988. In Islington, that means honest answers about what's feasible, what it costs, and what adds real value — before you commit.
