Index · "Living in" guides · 53 neighbourhoods · QPAREB Q2 2026 figures
53 neighbourhoods and cities, one reading grid: character, transit, parks, the 2026 market and who it is for. Pick your region.
This page gathers our 53 "Living in" guides for Greater Montreal, sorted by region: the 19 boroughs of the island of Montreal, the West Island, Laval's six sectors, seven North Shore cities, fourteen South Shore cities and four in Vaudreuil-Soulanges. Every guide follows the same grid: the neighbourhood's character, its sectors, transit, parks, services, the 2026 market with the QPAREB's second-quarter barometer figures (median house and condo price, days on market, five-year change, balance of power by price range) and who it is for. Under each region you will also find our first-time buyer guides, our rankings of the best neighbourhoods for families and our 26 "buying a condo" guides by city. The figures are updated with each quarterly barometer; the monthly regional reports complete the picture.

From the QPAREB's quarterly barometer (second quarter of 2026) for median prices, days on market, five-year changes and months of inventory by range, sector by sector; from the QPAREB's monthly statistics for the August 2026 reports. No figure is estimated.
Market figures with each quarterly barometer (the next, Q3 2026, in mid-October) and the reports every month; the rest (transit, parks, projects) when a fact changes, for example a REM opening date.
Every guide ends with a "Who it is for" section (young family, first-time buyer, remote work, retiree, investor). If you hesitate between two, the matching "A vs B" comparison decides; otherwise, our form lets us propose three sectors on your criteria within 24 hours.
