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

Living · Chambly · September 14, 2026

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

Ten reasons to live in Chambly, taken from our neighbourhood guide and published figures: Chambly is a city of water and history: the basin, the Fort Chambly National Historic Site, the Richelieu River and the canal. Around them, newer neighbourhoods grew toward Carignan and Highway 10, making it a two-speed market: Old Chambly and the waterfront streets on one side, new and recent housing on the other. Old Chambly and the basin's edge carry a premium the rest of the city does not reflect; 1980s to 2000s neighbourhoods between the centre and the 10 form the bulk of the market; recent sectors toward Carignan compare by the square foot. The APCIQ sector also includes Carignan, Richelieu and Saint-Mathias. Every reason is a sentence already published in our Living in Chambly 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. Chambly is a city of water and history: the basin, the Fort Chambly National Historic Site, the Richelieu River and the canal.
2. 2. The character. Around them, newer neighbourhoods grew toward Carignan and Highway 10, making it a two-speed market: Old Chambly and the waterfront streets on one side, new and recent housing on the other.
3. 3. The neighbourhoods. Old Chambly and the basin's edge carry a premium the rest of the city does not reflect; 1980s to 2000s neighbourhoods between the centre and the 10 form the bulk of the market; recent sectors toward Carignan compare by the square foot.
4. 4. The neighbourhoods. The APCIQ sector also includes Carignan, Richelieu and Saint-Mathias.
5. 5. Getting around. Highway 10 leads to the Champlain Bridge; Route 112 reaches Longueuil; exo buses connect to the Longueuil terminal and the metro.
6. 6. Getting around. There is no train: Chambly is lived by car for work in Montreal.
7. 7. Parks, leisure and shopping. The Chambly basin and Fort Chambly are the heart of leisure: promenade, sailing, skating in winter; the Chambly canal can be cycled to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu; neighbourhood parks are numerous in the recent sectors.
8. 8. Schools and services. French network: Centre de services scolaire des Patriotes; English: Riverside.
9. 9. The real estate market. APCIQ residential barometer, second quarter of 2026, Chambly, Carignan, Richelieu and Saint-Mathias sector:
10. 10. Schools and services. Local health services are in Chambly; the referral hospital is in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu or Longueuil depending on the sector.

Every reason is a sentence from our Living in Chambly 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 Chambly suits and who it does not; our method is to say it before the visit, not after.
