Schools, parks, commutes, space and price: what LaSalle offers a family, and what it has to accept, said before the visit.
Living in LaSalle with a family. The borough falls under the Centre de services scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys and the Lester B. The Parc des Rapides (birdwatching, Lachine Rapids) and the riverside path are LaSalle's signature; Parc Angrignon, at the limit, is one of the island's large parks; Parc Riverside and Parc Leroux complete the offer, with the Aquadôme as aquatic centre. Angrignon station, the green line terminus, is at the borough's northeast limit, with its bus terminus; the LaSalle station of the exo Candiac line serves the centre. Pro: The river and the rapids, Parc des Rapides, Angrignon metro, and a house or duplex under $750,000 on the island. Con: Functional and vast, built for the car: few walkable shopping streets, boulevards and shopping centres. 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.
LaSalle for a family: what really matters, schools, parks, commutes, space and price, taken from our neighbourhood guide and from what families tell us after the visits. The figures are those published by the APCIQ for the second quarter of 2026; nothing is embellished.
The school catchment of a specific address cannot be guessed: it is checked with the school service centre before offering, and subsidized daycare spots are requested early, everywhere in the region.
For a family, the commute is measured at rush hour, with the detour by the daycare or the school: do it once on a Tuesday morning before deciding.
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. For a family that buys, our pages average selling price of homes in LaSalle, down payment to buy in LaSalle, salary to buy in LaSalle and first-time home buyer in LaSalle give the benchmarks; what is for sale today is in house for sale in LaSalle.
