The good reasons to live in LaSalle, and the reasons to hesitate, said before the visit rather than after, by a team that sells there.
Living in LaSalle, the pros and cons. Pros: The river and the rapids, Parc des Rapides, Angrignon metro, and a house or duplex under $750,000 on the island. Plenty of condo choice with water views, and quick access to highways 20 and 15 and the Mercier Bridge. Cons: Functional and vast, built for the car: few walkable shopping streets, boulevards and shopping centres. Many rental buildings and condos from the 1970s to 1990s: fees, contingency funds and condition must be checked. 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). Less so for those who want a neighbourhood shopping street on foot or old-world charm: LaSalle is functional and vast, at the scale of the car.
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.

If the pros column weighs more than the cons in your actual week, LaSalle is a good choice; if not, our 10 reasons to live in LaSalle and our Living in LaSalle guide help you decide, and the pros and cons of all 53 neighbourhoods give the alternative next door.
The QPAREB's Lachine/LaSalle sector is a two-speed market: the single-family home ($730,000, +1 % year over year, +26 % in five years) sells in 42 days with only 120 active listings, a seller's market; the condo ($420,000, -7 % year over year) sells in 53 days with 310 listings, and the market tips toward the buyer above $640,000 (15.9 months of inventory), where the waterfront towers are.
The published benchmark is in average selling price of homes in LaSalle and home prices in LaSalle over ten years; what is for sale today is in house for sale in LaSalle and condo for sale in LaSalle. The price of a specific house is set on the comparable closed sales on its street, which the team pulls from the Centris system.
