10 reasons to live in Dollard-des-Ormeaux in 2026, taken from our neighbourhood guide

Living · Dollard-des-Ormeaux · September 14, 2026

Transit, shops, nature, schools, character and prices: ten concrete reasons to choose Dollard-des-Ormeaux, and where to read the reasons not to.

Ten reasons to live in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, taken from our neighbourhood guide and published figures: The Civic Centre (town hall, library, arenas, pool) is the heart of the town. Boulevards des Sources, Saint-Jean, Brunswick and de Salaberry structure the town and concentrate the shops. Central DDO, around Centennial Park and the Civic Centre, is the most sought-after: 1970s and 1980s cottages, quiet streets, at or above the sector median. The west, toward Kirkland and boulevard Saint-Charles, lines up the newer and larger houses. Every reason is a sentence already published in our Living in Dollard-des-Ormeaux 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. The Civic Centre (town hall, library, arenas, pool) is the heart of the town.
2. 2. The character. Boulevards des Sources, Saint-Jean, Brunswick and de Salaberry structure the town and concentrate the shops.
3. 3. The neighbourhoods. Central DDO, around Centennial Park and the Civic Centre, is the most sought-after: 1970s and 1980s cottages, quiet streets, at or above the sector median.
4. 4. The neighbourhoods. The west, toward Kirkland and boulevard Saint-Charles, lines up the newer and larger houses.
5. 5. Getting around. The REM's Anse-à-l'Orme branch (Des Sources, Fairview–Pointe-Claire, Kirkland and Anse-à-l'Orme stations) is under construction; opening dates depend on CDPQ Infra.
6. 6. Getting around. Highway 40 borders the town to the south; boulevard des Sources and boulevard Saint-Jean cross the West Island toward Highway 20 and the lake.
7. 7. Parks, leisure and shopping. Centennial Park (lake, trails, sledding) is the town's great park; neighbourhood parks, the Civic Centre (pool, arenas, library) and the community centre complete the offer.
8. 8. Parks, leisure and shopping. Shops are on boulevards des Sources, Saint-Jean, Brunswick and de Salaberry, with neighbourhood shopping centres; Fairview Pointe-Claire is next door.
9. 9. Schools and services. The town falls under the Centre de services scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys and the Lester B.
10. 10. The real estate market. The market belongs to the seller up to $1.11 million (2.4 to 5.7 months of inventory) and to the buyer above (10.5 months).

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