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.

We've been building in Scarborough since 1988. In West Rouge, that means honest answers about what's feasible, what it costs, and what adds real value — before you commit.
