Living in Chambly: the 2026 neighbourhood guide

Neighbourhood guide · Chambly

What it is like to live in Chambly day to day: neighbourhoods, access, parks, schools and prices, written by a team that sells there all year, in English.

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. In Q2 2026, the median single-family home in the Chambly, Carignan, Richelieu and Saint-Mathias sector sold for $727,000 in 36 days (APCIQ).

The character of Chambly

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.

The neighbourhoods, and what sets them apart

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.

Getting around

Highway 10 leads to the Champlain Bridge; Route 112 reaches Longueuil; exo buses connect to the Longueuil terminal and the metro. There is no train: Chambly is lived by car for work in Montreal.

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.

Schools and services

French network: Centre de services scolaire des Patriotes; English: Riverside. Local health services are in Chambly; the referral hospital is in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu or Longueuil depending on the sector.
