The good reasons to live in Saint-Léonard, and the reasons to hesitate, said before the visit rather than after, by a team that sells there.
Living in Saint-Léonard, the pros and cons. Pros: Houses with garage and garden on the island, quiet streets, Italian shops on foot and the future Blue Line stations. A real house market at a $712,500 median, and a stable family neighbourhood. Cons: No metro until the Blue Line opens: today, Saint-Léonard is lived by car and by bus on Jean-Talon. A 1960s-to-1980s stock: bungalows and duplexes to renovate, with the systems and insulation of their era. For families who want a real house with a garage and a garden on the island, a calm neighbourhood and Italian shops on foot, and who accept the car for the rest. Less so for those who want a metro today or nightlife: Saint-Léonard goes to bed early.
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.
