About South Riverdale

South Riverdale leans owner-occupied, with around 57% of households owning, with a comfortable median household income of $100,000 — 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 Old Toronto since 1988. Whether you're weighing a renovation, a garden suite, a multiplex, or a custom new build in South Riverdale, we bring a builder's eye to what a property can actually become.
