About Morningside Heights
Morningside Heights is a strongly owner-occupied neighbourhood — roughly 85% of households own their home, with a comfortable median household income of $117,000 — above the city median. Households span a range of ages and sizes — the kind of broad, mixed neighbourhood that holds value through cycles.
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 Scarborough since 1988. Whether you're weighing a renovation, a garden suite, a multiplex, or a custom new build in Morningside Heights, we bring a builder's eye to what a property can actually become.
