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

Living · LaSalle · September 14, 2026

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

Ten reasons to live in LaSalle, taken from our neighbourhood guide and published figures: Its shore is its asset: the Parc des Rapides, on the Lachine Rapids, the riverside park and the continuous bike path to Verdun on one side and Lachine on the other. The Village des Rapides and Old LaSalle, near the old Fleming mill, keep the oldest houses. The waterfront, along boulevard LaSalle, lines up the towers and condos with views of the rapids, the priciest per square foot. The centre, around Newman and the Carrefour Angrignon, concentrates shops and more affordable housing. Every reason is a sentence already published in our Living in LaSalle 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. Its shore is its asset: the Parc des Rapides, on the Lachine Rapids, the riverside park and the continuous bike path to Verdun on one side and Lachine on the other.
  2. 2. The character. The Village des Rapides and Old LaSalle, near the old Fleming mill, keep the oldest houses.
  3. 3. The neighbourhoods. The waterfront, along boulevard LaSalle, lines up the towers and condos with views of the rapids, the priciest per square foot.
  4. 4. The neighbourhoods. The centre, around Newman and the Carrefour Angrignon, concentrates shops and more affordable housing.
  5. 5. Getting around. Angrignon station, the green line terminus, is at the borough's northeast limit, with its bus terminus; the LaSalle station of the exo Candiac line serves the centre.
  6. 6. Getting around. Buses on Newman, LaSalle, Dollard and Shevchenko complete the network.
  7. 7. Parks, leisure and shopping. The Carrefour Angrignon and boulevard Newman concentrate the shops; rue Lapierre and boulevard LaSalle have the neighbourhood businesses.
  8. 8. Schools and services. The borough falls under the Centre de services scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys and the Lester B.
  9. 9. The real estate market. Between $320,000 and $640,000, the market stays with the seller at 6 to 7 months of inventory.
  10. 10. Who LaSalle is for, and who it is not for. For families who want a house or a duplex under $750,000 with the river, a metro and the highways; for a condo buyer looking for a view and choice (310 listings).

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