Living in Chomedey, Laval-des-Rapides and Pont-Viau: the pros and cons in 2026, by a team that sells there

Living · Chomedey, Laval-des-Rapides and Pont-Viau · October 11, 2026

The good reasons to live in Chomedey, Laval-des-Rapides and Pont-Viau, and the reasons to hesitate, said before the visit rather than after, by a team that sells there.

Living in Chomedey, Laval-des-Rapides and Pont-Viau, the pros and cons. Pros: The metro on foot (Montmorency, De la Concorde, Cartier), the Centropolis, Carrefour Laval, and a recent condo with amenities. A bungalow with land in Chomedey one bridge from Montreal, and the widest condo choice in Laval. Cons: Urban and noisy on its boulevards (Saint-Martin, Le Corbusier, highway 15): quiet is found on the inner streets. Large condos get negotiated: 60 days on market, the longest in Laval, and new supply competing with resale. For those who want the metro on foot, a recent condo with services and the Centropolis downstairs; for families looking for a bungalow with a lot in Chomedey one bridge from Montreal; for first-time buyers targeting Pont-Viau. Less so for those who want calm and nature: central Laval is urban, noisy on its boulevards, and its large condos are negotiable.

The pros: the good reasons to live in Chomedey, Laval-des-Rapides and Pont-Viau

• The metro on foot (Montmorency, De la Concorde, Cartier), the Centropolis, Carrefour Laval, and a recent condo with amenities.
• A bungalow with land in Chomedey one bridge from Montreal, and the widest condo choice in Laval.
• Getting around. Laval's three orange-line stations, Montmorency (terminus), De la Concorde and Cartier, are all in the sector; De la Concorde is also an exo Saint-Jérôme line station.
• Parks, leisure and shopping. The Centre de la nature is next door (Saint-Vincent-de-Paul); in the sector, Parc Bernard-Landry, the Centropolis with its restaurants and venues, Place Bell (arena and shows), the Cosmodôme and the Rivière des Prairies banks in Pont-Viau.
• Schools and services. The sector falls under the Centre de services scolaire de Laval and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board; Collège Montmorency and the Université de Montréal's Laval campus are in Laval-des-Rapides.

The cons: what you have to accept

• Urban and noisy on its boulevards (Saint-Martin, Le Corbusier, highway 15): quiet is found on the inner streets.
• Large condos get negotiated: 60 days on market, the longest in Laval, and new supply competing with resale.
• Laval municipal taxes and traffic on the Viau and Médéric-Martin bridges at rush hour.

These are the points buyers report to us after visiting, not flaws on principle: each one weighs differently depending on whether you work downtown or remotely, own one car or two, have children or not. For a specific street, three things get checked on site before offering: the school catchment, the flood zone and the noise at rush hour.

Who it is for, and who it is not for

For those who want the metro on foot, a recent condo with services and the Centropolis downstairs; for families looking for a bungalow with a lot in Chomedey one bridge from Montreal; for first-time buyers targeting Pont-Viau. Less so for those who want calm and nature: central Laval is urban, noisy on its boulevards, and its large condos are negotiable.
