About West Hill

West Hill leans owner-occupied, with around 59% of households owning. Median household income, around $76,000, tracks close to the Toronto figure. It's a mixed-age community of low-rise, family-oriented housing, with a steady, settled feel.

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 Scarborough since 1988. In West Hill, that means honest answers about what's feasible, what it costs, and what adds real value — before you commit.
