About West Rouge
West Rouge is a strongly owner-occupied neighbourhood — roughly 80% of households own their home, with a comfortable median household income of $108,000 — above the city median. 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.
