About Steeles
Steeles is a strongly owner-occupied neighbourhood — roughly 83% of households own their home. Median household income, around $80,000, tracks close to the Toronto figure. The neighbourhood skews established and settled, with larger family households on generous lots.
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.
We've been building in North York since 1988. In Steeles, that means honest answers about what's feasible, what it costs, and what adds real value — before you commit.
