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

Living · Longueuil · September 14, 2026

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

Ten reasons to live in Longueuil, taken from our neighbourhood guide and published figures: It is the South Shore's central city, the only one with a metro. In Old Longueuil, prices rise as you approach Saint-Charles Street and the river. Saint-Hubert reads by decade: 1960s neighbourhoods near Route 116, 1980s and 1990s ones toward Highway 30. The Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke metro reaches downtown in one stop; the RTL bus terminal concentrates the South Shore lines there. Every reason is a sentence already published in our Living in Longueuil 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. It is the South Shore's central city, the only one with a metro.
2. 2. The neighbourhoods. In Old Longueuil, prices rise as you approach Saint-Charles Street and the river.
3. 3. The neighbourhoods. Saint-Hubert reads by decade: 1960s neighbourhoods near Route 116, 1980s and 1990s ones toward Highway 30.
4. 4. Getting around. The Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke metro reaches downtown in one stop; the RTL bus terminal concentrates the South Shore lines there.
5. 5. Getting around. The Saint-Hubert exo train station serves the Saint-Hilaire line.
6. 6. Parks, leisure and shopping. Michel-Chartrand Park is the South Shore's great urban park, with trails and deer; Parc de la Cité, in Saint-Hubert, adds a lake and paths.
7. 7. Schools and services. CEGEP Édouard-Montpetit and the École nationale d'aérotechnique (in Saint-Hubert), as well as the Université de Sherbrooke's Longueuil campus, make the city a higher-education hub.
8. 8. The real estate market. APCIQ residential barometer, second quarter of 2026, Old Longueuil sector:
9. 9. The neighbourhoods. Greenfield Park mostly compares with itself, with a compact housing stock around the hospital.
10. 10. Getting around. The Jacques-Cartier Bridge, Route 132 and Highway 20 complete the access.

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

Buying there, selling there

The market benchmark from the guide: APCIQ residential barometer, second quarter of 2026, Old Longueuil sector: Our pages house for sale in Longueuil, Centris Longueuil, average selling price of homes in Longueuil, is it a good time to sell in Longueuil and real estate broker in Longueuil complete this list. For the buyer, our services are paid by the seller's commission; for the seller, 5% all inclusive, payable only at the sale.
