Established neighbourhoods like Mill Pond and Crosby mix mature homes where moisture control and ceiling height come first, while Bayview Hill, Jefferson and Oak Ridges offer newer two-storey homes with tall, dry, builder-grade basements ready for a premium finish — theatres, bars, gyms and in-law suites.
Richmond Hill also now allows up to three units on most residential lots, making a legal basement suite one of the strongest income plays in York Region. Whatever your starting point, we turn that lower level into finished, livable square footage your family uses every day — and real value added to your Richmond Hill home.
