10 reasons to live in Brossard in 2026, taken from our neighbourhood guide

Living · Brossard · September 14, 2026

Transit, shops, nature, schools, character and prices: ten concrete reasons to choose Brossard, and where to read the reasons not to.

Ten reasons to live in Brossard, taken from our neighbourhood guide and published figures: Brossard is the most diverse city on the South Shore and one of the youngest in its housing stock: much of it dates from the 1970s to 2000s, and new condos have multiplied around the REM since 2023. It is a city of families, of destination retail (the DIX30) and of commuters who reach downtown Montreal by light rail. The lettered sectors are Brossard's mental map: street names start with the sector's letter (A, B, C, up to the newer sectors), so an address can be placed at a glance. The oldest sectors, near Route 132 and Taschereau Boulevard, have the largest lots; sectors toward Highway 30 have the newest housing; Solar Uniquartier, around Du Quartier station, is the hub of new condos. Every reason is a sentence already published in our Living in Brossard guide, written by a team that sells there all year; the reasons not to live there (entry price, distance, school catchment, noise) are there too.

The 10 reasons, taken from our neighbourhood guide

1. 1. The character. Brossard is the most diverse city on the South Shore and one of the youngest in its housing stock: much of it dates from the 1970s to 2000s, and new condos have multiplied around the REM since 2023.
2. 2. The character. It is a city of families, of destination retail (the DIX30) and of commuters who reach downtown Montreal by light rail.
3. 3. The neighbourhoods. The lettered sectors are Brossard's mental map: street names start with the sector's letter (A, B, C, up to the newer sectors), so an address can be placed at a glance.
4. 4. The neighbourhoods. The oldest sectors, near Route 132 and Taschereau Boulevard, have the largest lots; sectors toward Highway 30 have the newest housing; Solar Uniquartier, around Du Quartier station, is the hub of new condos.
5. 5. Getting around. The REM links Brossard to downtown Montreal from the Brossard, Du Quartier and Panama stations, with park-and-ride lots.
6. 6. Getting around. Highways 10 and 30 cross the territory, and Taschereau Boulevard runs through the city toward Longueuil.
7. 7. Parks, leisure and shopping. Brossard lines up neighbourhood parks in every sector, bike paths that connect the whole South Shore, and the riverfront along Route 132.
8. 8. Parks, leisure and shopping. Mail Champlain and the DIX30 concentrate shops, restaurants and performance venues.
9. 9. Schools and services. The city falls under the Centre de services scolaire Marie-Victorin for the French network and the Riverside School Board for the English one; the nearest hospital is Charles-Le Moyne, in Greenfield Park.
10. 10. The real estate market. APCIQ residential barometer, second quarter of 2026, Brossard and Saint-Lambert sector:

Every reason is a sentence from our Living in Brossard guide, written by a team that sells there all year, and the figures are those published by the APCIQ; nothing is added to make it look good. What the city does less well is also in the guide, in the "who it does not suit" section.

And the reasons not to live there

No city suits everyone: the entry price, the distance to work, the exact school catchment of the street, the noise of a highway or a rail line, parking. The neighbourhood guide says who Brossard suits and who it does not; our method is to say it before the visit, not after.

Buying there, selling there
