About Leaside-Bennington
Leaside-Bennington is a strongly owner-occupied neighbourhood — roughly 72% of households own their home, and at a median household income of $148,000 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 sit below the GTA average of $1,917, keeping it accessible relative to much of Toronto. 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 East York since 1988. Whether you're weighing a renovation, a garden suite, a multiplex, or a custom new build in Leaside-Bennington, we bring a builder's eye to what a property can actually become.
