Living · Verdun and on Nuns' Island · October 11, 2026
The good reasons to live in Verdun and on Nuns' Island, and the reasons to hesitate, said before the visit rather than after, by a team that sells there.
Living in Verdun and on Nuns' Island, the pros and cons. Pros: The river, the urban beach, the bike paths and Wellington Street, with two metro stations on the Verdun side and the REM on the island. Renovated plexes and plex condos in Verdun; towers with views, amenities and quiet on Nuns' Island. Cons: Verdun has become expensive: plexes and plex condos cost what a sought-after neighbourhood costs, and parking is hard near Wellington. Nuns' Island: pricey condos with high fees that resell slowly, and a single road access toward the Champlain Bridge. Verdun is for those who want the river, a lively shopping street and the metro, in a plex or a condo in a plex, and accept paying the price of a neighbourhood that became sought-after. Nuns' Island is for those who want a tower with services, the REM and the view, in a calm, planned setting; less so for those seeking a shopping street on foot or easy parking on the Verdun side.
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.
